This boy is about to see a great defense today. Go Gamecocks!!

[dwid1984]

@akp8806 yeah didn't seem to have a problem putting up 120 yards from scrimmage despite no passing game and bad reads by Martinez

[staffordcpa]

Watched him for 4 years at my al mater of Plano HS - trust me when I tell you he is just getting started. As a starter he gains strength through-out a game - the best of Rex is yet to come!

[dwid1984]

@TheNastyShitler he is stronger than most backs, he has the power of a back that is 230 pounds, he is pretty fast, very light on his feet/shifty. I would say he is flashy, he dances on his feet, very subtle footwork that people don't notice that allows him to change direction without making dramatic noticeable cuts that other backs make. He was a stud in hs and I remember thinking "hes not going to be able to do that at the next level" and sure enough he is.

Underrated.

forget the Doak Walker. Rex deserves the Heisman! He'll never get it, but still, he deserves it.

[dwid1984]

and yes Wisconsin lost to TCU, but TCU last year was 10x better than the Utah team that beat Alabama. The defense was top notch plus an NFL star at qb. How are the SEC's athletes panning out? Pierre Thomas who didn't see much playing time is better than Mark Ingram the "Heisman Winner". SEC dominance is a myth, they are a top heavy conference. They have the biggest tv contracts which pays for the best coaches and facilities but with the new realignments its going to be more even

[dwid1984]

why have several of the SEC teams struggled against FCS opponents? Auburn barely beat Utah State. Auburn barely beat Oregon last year, and I don't think the pac 10/12 is as strong as the big 10. Oh yeah can't forget another crappy team, Kentucky, they lost their bowl game last year to Pittsburgh. Ohio State beat Arkansas last year. Mich St struggled against Alabama, but I guarantee it wouldve been different if they had played Wisconsin

[dwid1984]

why was TCU forced to play Boise St in the Fiesta Bowl? Oh thats right, wouldn't want to have the SEC exposed like when Utah beat Alabama. Remember, the SEC has the largest television contracts, so of course your are going to be brainwashed into thinking they are the best conference. Just Ole Miss? what about Vanderbilt, Miss St, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee. Boise beat Georgia this year and last year they LOST to UCF of all teams. Iowa beat South Carolina when they played

[dwid1984]

@frogboy122192 Lets see, Tim Tebow dominated, that was about it. Jim Tressel was always a bad coach when it came to coaching evenly matched teams. LSU won on the back of Jacob Hester. Alabama beat a Texas team with a true freshman that is currently 3rd string. They were still in the game in the 4th quarter. Alabama LOST the previous year to Utah in the Sugar Bowl. LSU replaying Alabama just proves the system is flawed. They get to cherry pick their out of conference opponents

[frogboy122192]

@dwid1984 Every Team in the SEC with the exception of Ole Miss can beat just about any team in the Big 10. The SEC is the toughest conference, has the best teams, and has produced more national champions than any other conference including the last 6 champions are all from the SEC and the SEC has never lost a BCS championship game of course that will end this year since the SEC is SOO good that they have both the number 1 and number 2 team.

[dwid1984]

@frogboy122192 the sec is not tougher to run in, when I watch MOST sec teams, I just see pathetic offensive play, not great defensive play, with the exception of LSU and Alabama. The Big 10 is just as tough to run in. The only differnence is the speed at positions like cornerback.
