Hate to hear that. He was a hell of a back.

Rip to Rudy , sounds like he might have had CTE . Hate to hear of anybody suffering that much that he felt like ending it all.

Rudi will forever be a part of Auburn lore. After the terrible Bowden years and our offense had devolved to a point that running the ball never felt like it would happen again on the Plains, this happened:



It’s hard to explain how cathartic it was. Auburn was back.

Pretty sure I was at that game. I was a Rudi Johnson fan when he was at AU. Hate to hear what happened. May he rest in peace, and may his family find some kind of peace.
