the idea of a 'throwback' player is stupid. he works hard, plays tough, and is all class. those are not antiquated values.

 
He was also on the "All Herbie Team"

I wonder how much it hurt that pompous a$$ to have to mention him

i disagree...

Yes, there are a lot of hard working, tough, all class cfb players out there. but there's only a few players, a certain type of player (rb in this case) who has a number of yards punched up in their head seconds before that play is even ran. Not getting those yards is not a question. Those yards might as well be written in pen on the stat sheet before the center snaps the ball.

That's one thing I didn't understand. He had his top 5 running back listed and Rex wasn't on that, yet he was with Lattimore on the All Herbie team. Maybe I'm missing something.

 
What I found cool/strange/interesting, whatever you want to call it, is that Burkhead made the All-Herbie team over Montee Ball.
