Awfully Big Night For A Guy Who's "Not A Big Time Back"... E-mail

27 rushes for 121 yards and a score, and 2 catches for 32 yards.



Against the 3rd ranked rush defense through the regular season, no less.

I hope Peter King likes crow.

Nobody worked harder than Rashard Mendenhall last night.



MVP city.

Give the man some love in the comments, and here's to hoping he can repeat that performance in about two weeks time.

Here we go!

If you haven't already, become a fan of OFTOT on Facebook, and follow Cotter on Twitter. Or don't. Your choice, really.

    I said it several times last night... he made some of those runs on giant balls alone.

    The kid ran tough!

    Wow, what a game. Wreckinball had some nice runs no doubt. They couldn't stop him, which is cool because it was the 3rd ranked D. Give some to the "shaky" offensive line that paved the way. Props to all of them, J. Scott, Kemoeatu, Big Legursky, (We at the) Hotel (Motel Holiday Inn) Adams, and Foster (Australian for Beer). Props also to Kruger for keeping the line together.

    Come on Pouncey. We need you back. Get well soon (actually, you only have two weeks, so do it now).

    Not a good stat day for Ben, but wins are measured in big plays, not stats. He did those, we won.

    Now, if we combine the 1st half of this game, plus the second half of the Ratbird game, then we should be in excellent shape. Let's hope that happens.

    Loved the non-chalant behind the back toss to the official after the game was done.
