  2. I remember having a real bad feeling during that game when Faulk got hurt. Rondell tore it up though, didnt he rush for like 230 yards or something. Great game

    Correct its "or something", actually 222 yards according to an old link to the Packers team site when he played there:

    At Louisiana State, was named the 'Most Valuable Player' of the 1997 Independence Bowl after setting a bowl record with 222 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns on 34 carries in victory over Notre Dame

    The weather was SO nasty during that game! But it was fun to beat up on the Irish.
     
  5. Yeh, I remember him having a supernatural game. I also remember our defense beating the hell out of their QB. He left the game near the end.
