Last season the 12th-man proved almost impossible to beat, the 11-men that took the field on either side of the ball in front of them were just as tough, and the Seattle Seahawks rode a talented squad and an overwhelming home advantage to a franchise first Super Bowl championship. Mario Rui Jersey . Only eight champions have been repeat winners of the NFLs ultimate prize and none since New England Patriots knocked off the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles to win back-to-back crowns. Are the Seahawks the right squad to be the ninth team to achieve the feat? At 26.4 years-old, the Seahawks boasted the second youngest team to ever win the championship and that is a great sign for their future success. Quarterback Russell Wilson followed an elite rookie season with an even better sophomore campaign to lead his team to the top. After throwing 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his first year, he repeated the number of majors while lowering his picks to 9 for the season. If that was all there was to say about Wilson and his skills that would be enough, however he also rushed for 539 yards and a touchdown proving to be skilled on his feet as well as with his arm. A healthy Percy Harvin should make for a strong passing game, even if they will have to deal with the loss of both Golden Tate and Sidney Rice at the position. Tate is now plying his trade for the Detroit Lions and Rice has called time on his career, but in Doug Baldwin and his 50 catches for 778 yards and five touchdowns and Jermaine Kearse and his four touchdowns last season, the Seahawks are not going to be short of skilled options in their passing game. In the backfield once again will be one of the most imposing and hardest to tackle players in the NFL in Marshawn Lynch. Last season he contributed 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns on 301 carries and he also caught two touchdowns out of the backfield. To call these weapons a dynamic offence is probably a major understatement and they might not even be the most talented unit on the team. The Seahawks also boast an incredibly strong, skilled and hard hitting defence, led by talented Richard Sherman who makes tough plays and big plays in the biggest moments. Sherman is the type of player that can erase a wide receiver from an offenses entire plan and he doesnt run the field alone. Earl Thomas is considered to be the best free safeties in the league and along with Sherman has stated his goal to be talked about among the all-time greats of the game. Safety Kam Chancellor is also one of the best at his position and while he might not get the same ink as the other two high profile defenders, was second team all-pro last season so his credentials are nowhere near being in question. The defence did take some offseason hits having lost cornerbacks Brandon Browner and Walter Thurmond III, and defensive linemen Chris Clemons, Red Bryant and Clinton McDonald. This team has survived on a next man up philosophy thus far and there is no reason to believe all of the holes created by those departures wont also easily be filled. The ace in the hole is the rabid fan base that helped the Seahawks to a 7-1 record during the regular season in Seattle and two huge home playoff victories the propelled them to the Super Bowl. Beating the Seahawks is incredibly tough and winning in Seattle is even tougher, those are the ingredients to another top notch, possibly championship calibre season. Andre Silva Jersey .

Not that the old ball coach is celebrating a win he called one of the worst hes ever had. Dylan Thompson threw for 237 yards and three touchdowns, and he ran for another score as 14th-ranked South Carolina beat Vanderbilt 48-34 Saturday night for its third straight victory. But the Gamecocks fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter and didnt put away a team playing the most freshmen in the country until the final minutes. "Weve all seen good football teams, we aint one," Spurrier said. "Dont say were one right now. The way we play? Maybe we can be? I dont know . Its no fun for me watching us play tonight." Spurrier now has 202 Southeastern Conference wins, breaking a tie with Vince Dooley and putting him second only to Bryant (292). Spurrier also got his 20th win all-time against the Commodores. The Gamecocks (3-1, 2-1) started slow coming off their 38-35 win over Georgia in their first road trip this season. They got going by scoring 17 points in the second quarter, part of 24 straight points that gave them the lead for good, and beat Vanderbilt for a sixth straight time in this series. Darrius Sims returned two kickoffs for touchdowns for Vanderbilt. The Commodores (1-3, 0-2) pulled to 34-27 with 5:57 left but couldnt get closer. "Well take a look at the tape and fix what needs to be fixed," first-year Vandy coach Derek Mason said. "Our kids got better tonight ... When we get it right, we look pretty good." Vanderbilt has played 31 combined freshmen this season, and the Commodores lost starting quarterback Patton Robinette to an apparent injury after he threw a TD pass for a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter. Freshman Wade Freebeck replaced Robinette, and he drove the Commodores to two field goals by Tommy Openshaw in the second half. It just wasnt enough against the Gamecocks who answered with two TDs in the final 4:35. Pharoh Cooper set up the first, a 1-yard TD plunge by Thompson, with a 70-yard run off the wildcat after Vandy pulled within 34-27. Cedric Jersey. . Thompson finished 22 of 34 passing with his TD passes to three different players as he completed passes to seven receivers. South Carolina outgained Vanderbilt 449-379 in total offence, and the Gamecocks turned two turnovers into 14 points, including a 53-yard interception return by Brison Williams late in the first half. "Well, Vanderbilt has not been an offensive juggernaut in the SEC, and lets see, we did hold them to really not a lot of points," Spurrier said. Thompson said he probably hasnt seen Spurrier this upset. "We cant play like that," Thompson said. "We have to sharpen up every facet of the game. We come in here and played sloppy. It was a sloppy game. Hard to watch as a fan Im sure. But we did get the win. You appreciate wins, especially road wins in the SEC, but we have to sharpen up." Sims tied an NCAA record in the Football Bowl Subdivision with his two TDs off kick returns in the same game, the 18th time thats happened and first since 2012. He returned the opening kick 91 yards for a TD and then took Vanderbilts first kickoff in the second half 100 yards to pull the Commodores to 24-21. "We kept running right by the kickoff return guy, and he split us just about every time," Spurrier said. Vanderbilt got the start Mason needed off Sims kickoff return. Robinette made it 14-0 with an 8-yard TD pass to C.J. Duncan in the final minute of the first quarter. Vanderbilt held the ball for more than 9 minutes and outgained the Gamecocks 86-30. Then Robinette went to the locker room with an apparent injury after he started 4 of 5 for 55 yards. Freebeck came on, and the Commodores stalled. The Gamecocks took control scoring with a 45-yard field goal by Elliott Fly, a 29-yard pass from Thompson to Damiere Byrd for a TD. Vanderbilt was driving when Freebeck threw off his back foot and was intercepted by Williams. Vanderbilt had its chances to recover three fumbles in the second half only to see the Gamecocks get the ball back each time.
