Marcus Coker was tabbed as the National Running Back of the Week.

Yeah so stick that in your pipe and smoke it Rex (mr oct by espn). Who would trade Coker for Rex? Wasnt that one of those stupid arse posts around here?

Good job Coker, keep it up. Nose to the grind stone young man, lots of work to do and the awards will come.

Man, why does it always come back to Nebraska with you? Coker just got recognized for playing a great game (against the worst team in the league), and you have to bring Nebraska into it. WTF? Enjoy it and move on to Michigan.

Rex is a great guy, class act, honorable human being, and a damn fine running back who (unless he gets hurt) will be all B1G.

Slow your role, dude.

I have nothing against Rex, I was just pointing out our stupid fan base and some of the stupid posts made. Coker was dinged up and it showed in his running and his numbers. Now he seems to be hitting a good stride.
Since you had to bring up that his great game was against the worst team in the league, what was rex's numbers when you guys played them?
Thing that makes me a fan of Cokers is, it's not all about the numbers. He is humble, smart (wants to work for NASA) and a good kid, who by the sounds of it had a good upbringing. Just so happens I love watching him truck people and he is dam good at it. He is and stands for what I think all Hawks should be like. I wish him luck in shattering the records, because it couldnt go to a better kid.

Sounds like Coker is a great kid, too. Nothing but respect.

As for their numbers, they both average 5.3 YPC, and Coker has about 10-11 YPG in total offense more than Rex, while Rex has 14 total TDs to Cokers 10 total TDs. Pretty similar numbers, strikingly.

I won't go into non-conf. opponents, because neither team played against great defenses, but against the B1G RUSHING defenses, Rex has played against the #1 (MSU) #4 (O$U) #6 (UW) & #11 (Minn) while Coker has gone against #3 (PSU) #10 (NW) #11 (Minn) & #12 (Indy).

FWIW
