Every team the Rams played knew they had one guy to stop, and for like 8 years in a row, no one could do it. <br /><br />Herschel was a lot better than people give him credit for, and should have been in the "pro football" (not "NFL") hall of fame long ago, since the USFL was "pro football" too.<br /><br />And the best I ever saw in person was Rueben Mayes of Washington State, in a 1984 game at Stanford where he put up 216 yards, mostly on 5 long TDs. The next week he stuck Oregon with 357 yards. He was decent in the NFL, but injuries prevented most fans from seeing just how good he might have been.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898916940310730642.post-86302567358872978712013-01-16T13:30:37.500-06:002013-01-16T13:30:37.500-06:00I was lucky to watch every single college game of ...I was lucky to watch every single college game of both Sanders and Peterson in person.

I've changed the note to reflect that it was his first carry that day vs Texas, not his first career carry.Craig Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238948939151078489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898916940310730642.post-54139389660910553582013-01-07T09:01:06.448-06:002013-01-07T09:01:06.448-06:00nice article.

I think Sanders is the GOAT, but I cant argue with the premise that AD is as close to a perfect RB that you will ever find. <br /><br />one mistake though: AD's first college carry was a 3 yard run at home against Bowling Green, not Texas. The Texas game was his 5th game that year: http://soonerstats.com/football/seasons/schedule.cfm?seasonid=2004<br />stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029722237569586169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898916940310730642.post-16345755019539149032013-01-07T08:31:54.096-06:002013-01-07T08:31:54.096-06:00Sorry, but Earl Campbell is the best ever.

Just because his pro career was shortened does not minimize his greatness. He was paired with Dan Pastorini and took the Oilers to the AFC Championship twice for Goodness Sake!Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898916940310730642.post-86551738131482621202013-01-06T08:59:24.527-06:002013-01-06T08:59:24.527-06:00Perhaps your finest blog, Junes!

My 6 year old cried when he realized AD did not get the record. I am just glad that my two boys are old enough to understand his greatness and aspire to one day wear #28 for Boomer Sooner.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00307142644344772896noreply@blogger.com
