Probably not. Kinda remember them but my 1/4 or whatever Bavarian heritage would go crazy if I allowed a French POS vehicle on my property.
We had a Plymouth Reliant wagon that I think was probably a grey-market car from Canada. It would say "Please buckle your seat belt" in French. Once you buckled, it said "Merci!"

Edit: corrected the make/model. Also, this would have been late 80's.

If there is anything more ****** up than French it is probably French-Canadian.

:jimlad: ...maybe...

Technically it's probably a block, as you put. It's been awhile since I rewatched the game.
Rewatched those plays. When Hall was lined up as a flanker, his route took him past the LOS, but the receiver will probably never be called for a pick there. Receiver sold it well. When Hall was lined up as a fullback it was behind the LOS, and the block was legal. Either way, we'll probably have to adjust the run fit.

Either I am really confused or you are. I was responding to a post as to what Heacock would do to defend the OU back coming out of the backfield but you are talking about the Iowa State offense.

There is no Fullback position in the OU offensive scheme. The position is an H-back, which depending on the set can be a TE, FB, RB, or true H-back. It is one of the keys to the success of the Sooner offense under Riley. Hall, Stogner, Willis, and true freshman Mikey Henderson all line up in various positions and all add a very unique versatility to the offense.

So, I'm watching the Okla. State @ Baylor game on ESPN, and they did a Big Xii CCG Promo. One announcer asked the other what he thought. "Well, Oklahoma has won 6 in a row since starting 0-2 and will tough to beat." lol. No mention of what ISU has done: 1st Place (8-1) - which is better than OU and on a 5 game winning streak of their own. Such lazy commentary by CFB announcers. I guess it's Oklahoma's world in the Big Xii, and the rest of the teams are just paying rent! Going to be a blast when ISU beats OU AGAIN!

More expert analysis from Rocky Boiman on Iowa State vs. Cincinnati: Besides the two losses and losing by 17 to Louisiana, player for player across the board, Cincinnati looks better than Iowa State! lol. Of course, he is originally from Cincinnati, so that explains that a bit.

Yeah, across the board except for a Heisman finalist RB, all American TE, career wins leader at QB, all time sacks leader, and likely the conference DPOY at LB. ISU is going to probably have more all conference players in a tougher conference.
