Tonight is the first time I can remember him being tough enough to finish a game.
USCw must be paying Woody Marks a lot of NIL $$..
- Thread starter Xenomorph
- Start date
Man had a fishing pole taped to his leg in his last MSU game lol
He's got real OL blocking for him now.
Hero of the game. Being worshipped by broadcast crew #1 on primetime abc while doing an postgame interview with sideline reporter #1.
The way to get our name out there. Much better than the NFL intros. They said Mississippi State tonight at least a dozen times.
I’m no fan of USC but glad to see he got to run it down LSU’s throat.
He just EARNED that NIL money with that game winner
Dude was running with a crowbar taped to his leg his last game for us.
Sour grapes and bad memories

Despite recent past. USC is a blue blood program. Woody played with a broken body most of his career at msu and played in a system for three years not made for him and rarely had the ball handed to him and then 1 year that just used him as a battering ram as a smaller back with a terrible scheme. Hate he isn't with msu but USC could make play offs this year. Defense looks much improved for the Trojans.
It's a lot easier to make it through a game when you aren't being led into a charging linebacker by a pass thrown 3 seconds too late.
I was not worried; I was confident USC would get a chance to win. After all, nobody does less with more than Brian Kelly.
so was it a fishing pole or a crow bar?
Neither... it was made outta persimmon sprouts someone illegally harvested out of Noxubee refuge. Ain't no way Mississippi State was springing for fiberglass or steel.
I'll never forget our loss at Memphis. Woody and Will were hurting Memphis with the safety valve pass to him in the flats. And then Memphis adjusted to dedicate a LB and/or DE to take that play away from us.....and they sort of did. Those 2 Memphis players damn near beat Woody to a pulp. I've never seen him hit so hard. He could barely get up and limp off the field. To Woody's credit, he kept getting up and going back into the game. Then the Memphis DE got an open shot at him and laid the wood big time. I think it took a couple of our trainers to come out, lift him up, and help him walk off the field. Don't think he ever came back in after that waylaying. Glad to see him looking strong tonight and came up with the big TD to take out one of my most hated teams. Sometimes I can't remember who I hate worse LSU or Ole Miss. I guess Ole Miss since they're in state, but a lot of the LSU fans are some of the most vulgar-profane-sick fans I've ever encountered.
You cant blame Woody or Dillon Johnson for leaving…
The dude only had 16 carries vs LSU because USC has other weapons. When Woody was at MSU, he was the only weapon we had and it wasn’t uncommon for him to get 20+ carries every game not to mention catching passes out of the backfield. Woody was a warrior for us.
I can blame DJ for the way he left. I'm sure he would change it if he could and learn how to regulate his emotions
Woody acted hurt here all the time. Every other play he was rolling around on the ground or whatever. They won’t put up with that **** at USC, and he knows it.
Nah bruh. Can't say I agree with any of this
Just like a guy on the internet to denigrate an injured player. Seriously.
Yes Ohio state and Michigan both look very mid tier. Good year for SC to move to big 10
In the new era of college ball yes. It's why it's hard to get hyped about msu football. Our players go on to leave and play for teams that have an actual shot of playoffs. Unless lebby can develop is enough to be competitive and convince guys to stay long term
I would say under leach he probably got less actual carrries in a game but got a lot of passes on screens and stuff. With arnett Barbay he got murdered as a small back running into the butt if gaurd tackle. With Riley it's modified so he gets touches as carries but it's more balanced spread so he has space to run with the ball.
How he is being used could contribute to your idea of "toughness". He was taking more hits every year per game up to now.
I'm saying there is a difference in hurt and injured and I'm betting Marks has been informed what that is.
He didn’t “act” hurt. The man “played” hurt.
Damn, it's not like the guy on the left ain't in shape. They talked a lot about the new USC strength program last night. We might need to get a pharmacy referral.
He's playing in a modern offensive scheme after years of BS here. He also only had 68 yards on only 16 carries. He's not a 20+ carry guy but he'd be the best here if he had stayed.
