Question: The 1996 Houston Oilers season was the 37th season overall and 27th with the National Football League (NFL) and their final season in Houston, Houston fans would get a tease at Eddie George, the American football player who won the Offensive Rookie of the Year, with how many yards rushing?

The 1996 Houston Oilers season was the 37th season overall and 27th with the National Football League (NFL) and their final season in Houston.  Houston fans would get a tease as Running Back Eddie George won the Offensive Rookie of the Year with 1,368 yards rushing.  The team bested their previous season's output of 7–9, but failed to qualify for the playoffs for the third consecutive season.  The Oilers only won two out of their eight games at home.  However, on the road they won six out of eight games as the Oilers finish with an 8-8 record. <SEP> The 1978 season was the Houston Oilers 19th season and their ninth in the National Football League (NFL).  Led by Rookie RB Earl Campbell, who won both the Offensive Rookie of the Year, and Offensive Player of the Year, who rushed for 1,450 yards, the Oilers made the playoffs with a 10-6 record, qualifying in the newly created 5th Wild Card spot.  The franchise scored 283 points while the defense gave up 298 points.  Their record of 10 wins and 6 losses resulted in a second-place finish in the AFC Central Division.  In the playoffs, the Oilers would stun the Miami Dolphins, 17-9, in the two teams first playoff meeting, then defeated the New England Patriots 31-14 in New England to advance to their first ever AFC Championship game, but in that game, they would score a mere 5 points in a 34-5 blowout loss to the eventual champion Steelers. <SEP> Lorenzo Maurice White (born April 12, 1966) is a former professional American football player who was selected by the Houston Oilers in the 1st round (22nd overall) of the 1988 NFL Draft.  He attended Dillard High School in Ft. Lauderdale in Florida.  A 5 ft 11 in running back from Michigan State University, White played in 8 NFL seasons from 1988 to 1995.

White was nationally known as the "Great White Hope from the Green and White".  At Michigan State, White became the first Big Ten Conference running back to compile a 2000-yard season when he had 2,066 yards rushing on 419 attempts during the 1985 NCAA Division I-A football season.  As a Senior at Michigan State, he ran for 1,572 yards and 16 TD.  The yards were second to Jamie Morris of Michigan while he led the Big Ten in rushing attempts and rushing TDs. <SEP>  He played college football for Ohio State University and won the Heisman Trophy in 1995.  He was drafted in the first round of the 1996 NFL Draft, and played professionally for the Tennessee Titans (both in Tennessee and in Houston when the franchise was known as the Houston Oilers).
