His performance in the Rose Bowl absolutely stunk..........
But there is now a NFL rookie salary cap. So the most he can get upfront is around $15 MM. No more $30-$40 MM bonuses like J’Marcus Russell stole from Da Raiders.
I don’t know about that. He wasn’t the running back that fumbled on two drive when the score was within 5. His game fell off the rails during desperation time...and more on the sidelines than the field.
They were moving with fair ease at the end of the 1st half and beginning of the 2nd. If those fumbles didn’t happen, and they got 10 points out of that...at the very least it would have remained a tight game. Possibly a classic. FSU came back in the second half almost every game this year, and won the BSC last year doing the same.
This time, the wheels came off after they had 14 points scored against them in the 3rd quarter and went into desperation mode.
