🏈 Upshaw has a rare opportunity.

Not sure if its been done before.

Win back to back titles in the same venue (New Orleans) - College and Pro.

Looks like Tony Dorsett won back to back, both in the New Orleans Superdome.

"Dorsett was the first player to win the college football championship one year, then win the Super Bowl the next, when the Cowboys beat the Denver Broncos 27-10 to win Super Bowl XII."

1976 with Pitt, and 1977 with Dallas. Both in the Superdome.

Trying to see if there are any others since Wikipeida (because Wiki is super reliable haha) says that he is the "first", not the "only".

 

[PhillyGirl]

I am 99% sure he is the only one to do it in the Superbowl era .. Could be wrong though. I am now trying to search the pre-Superbowl era.


Edit: William Floyd of FSU came REALLY close to being another. FSU in '93 at Miami's Orange Bowl (demolished a few years ago), and 49ers Superbowl XXIX in '94 at Miami's Sun Life Stadium/Joe Robbie Stadium/the site of the current Orange Bowl.

Good stuff, all of you. It would still be pretty cool.

I'll pull for the Ravens next year when they only have a slashing runner, and not a slashing linebacker.

Only 3 QB's (starter not back up) Have Won A NCAA National Championship And A Superbowl....(2 of which played for BAMA)

Namath and Stabler?

 

[bamanaf]

Yeah ...double slasher at that!

 

[BamaFan615]

That's some good stuff...I'm pulling for Baltimore simply because of the Bama players that they have on their roster. Hopefully CU is able to contain Keapernick tonight.

Correct......Montana is the other

 

[bamaraider]

As a die-hard Raiders fan. F:chat_swear::chat_swear:k the Niners, LETS GO RAVENS!!

Ozzie Newsome is also the GM, just another reason for me to root hard to the Ravens.

 

[mrchase]

Upshaw.....Forced Fumble

 

[ElephantStomp]

Sweet forced fumble by Upshaw. Led to a TD.

 

[planomateo]

Nice play by Upshaw.

where has the self proclaimed best WR been all game...

You talking about Randy Moss or Manti Te'o's GF? Both are nonexistent!!

 

[Rolltide24]

Moss made a big 3rd down catch for them. He's too old to be that effective. Davis is really starting to turn it on though. I'm afraid the Niners are about to take this game by storm, just like with Atlanta...

 

[PhillyGirl]

If the Niners win, words will not be enough to describe my anger/frustration.

 

[silvermetalflake]

Yikes..... they're within 2. Jeez... the Ravens.. the feather are comin' off!!!

 

[planomateo]

Anger?

The power outage actually made this a better game

Can't wait to see what LSUfreek does with this.

 

[RollTideRandy]

Bad Hold by Boone not called on that play.
