What an insanely Studley family. When you Frank Gore was in college I heard multiple people tell me he was the best natural running back they ever saw. In running back years, his career would be the equivalent if Brady played 30 years of quarterback.

[@dialecticalmonist3405]

I once read a scouting report that said, "Gore lacks the physical and emotional toughness to play in the NFL". Lol. Literally one of the toughest players to ever play in both respects.

[@Skronkman]

Absolutely. The craziest thing is he was a few steps faster before destroying both ACLs in college. Think of all his runs where he got caught after breaking away. Could’ve all been touchdowns if he still had his natural speed. One of my all time favorite players

Two teams that were 6-6 were ineligible for having played two FCS teams this year (App State and Army). 7-5 is required for bowl eligibility in that case unless a waiver is granted (New Mexico State received one since they had to emergency schedule a game against a second FCS opponent after San Jose State canceled their game against them this year, and they ended up 6-6). Due to these two teams being ineligible, none with .500 records or better were left, so the 5-7 team with the best academic record was rewarded with the last bowl berth (which happened to be Rice). A REALLY weird year and chain of events.
