Recruiting Football Talk VIII

January 22, 1984
Marcus Allen rushed for a then-Super Bowl record of 191 yards on 20 carries and two touchdowns on his way to being chosen the game’s Most Valuable Player after leading the Los Angeles Raiders to a 38-9 trouncing of favored Washington before 72,920 spectators.

In addition, Allen caught two passes for 18 yards on his only targets by quarterback Jim Plunkett as the Silver and Black embarrassed Washington, which was 16-2 that season before running into the Raiders.

How quickly we forget how good Marcus Allen was.............

He has great players and a good coaching staff. That's like 95% of college coaching. He probably isn't some Xs and Os savant, but he doesn't need to be. The vast majority of college head coaches are not.

I don't care if he inherited a great situation from Urban, or if they don't play a gauntlet schedule every year. You don't go 70-10 (46-5) in 6+ seasons if you're a bad coach. Every single one of those 10 losses except the loss to Michigan this year was to another great team.
He still paints his toenails
