Re: Diamond in the rough.
and when i said bettis wasnt elusive, i didnt mean he couldnt run, he just couldnt "dodge tackles". but he would smash your ass to get where he wanted. i just know this because im huge ND fan and especially the reggie brooks and jerome bettis days. whata hell of a 1 2 punch. to bad brooks didnt do squat for us, i was so pumped when we got him too. but in college brooks was a beast. i remember one play that will never be topped in nfl or college; brooks ran agaisnt michigan one game back in '91 or '92, and on one play brooks broke like 6 tackles, BUT... he broke six smashing tackles and the last one right before the goaline he got hit so hard he passed out right after staying on his feet and crossing the goaline. he was knocked out in the endzone literally for about a minute or so, it was the best play and wish i had some kind of film to show you guys. anyway, it was great and it turned out to be poop for us.
