Has Frank Gore ever spiked the ball after a TD?

The most he ever scored in a season was 8 td's., I believe LT, Alexander, and Priest Holmes scored more TD's in a single season than Gore has his whole carreer!

Crazy when you think about it, huh?

He only has 23 TD's because he fumbles a lot by the goal line. I get kinda scared when we are in the redzone and we hand off to Gore. He almost fumbled the Arizona game away.

That coupled with the fact that he doesn't have home run speed, his O-line is one of the worst in the league, and he isn't a power goal line guy! Either way when you look at his yards you would think he scored almost 100 TD's.

Gore is a class act. Too bad more players don't take his lead. I wont mention any one special.

I think I remember him in an interview talking about how he follows the Barry Sanders and LT suit by not spiking the ball. Could be wrong...

Ooo, he did do the LT ball flick that one time against the rams, IIRC. After the game he said it was in honor of his favorite player, LT.

I recall him doing that a few times, but never spiking it.

Very true, frank is a fumbler.

To be fair, spiking the ball is not classless. If he did spike it, he wouldn't be any less of a "classy guy."

Seriously how does spiking a football make you not classy.

I know... how do you run for over 200 yards in a single game and not score a TD???

Gore is a subscriber to the "act like you have been there before" philosophy. And he has been there before many times.

I was going to write the very same thing. Personally, I really appreciate Gore's humble but fired up approach throughout his game.
