We beat Penn St...FSU...ND and UF in 81...and that team had a plethora of Trash talkers. As far as the Win at OU in 85, and Aikman breaking his leg...that was a blessing for OU because true freshman Holloway came in and led them to the NC....No way does Aikman lead them to a Natty running a Wishbone that yr. Holloway is arguably the best to ever run the Wishbone.
He dropped his application.
What's irrelevant WHEN THE TITLE IS BEST COLLEGE PLAYERS. To say that it's accounting for their college careers, not one season lmao. BUT I'll play along. So without bothering to do the research and looking up names who are exceptions on this list, Lamar had TWO single seasons where he put up better stats in each than Cam. Denard Robinson had a better single season. That's a couple off the top of my head. You don't see them on this list of 20 best all time players. Stop telling people what's irrelevant. Just my two cents.
Dorsey's CAREER was far more impressive than cams and that's not me saying Kenny should be on that either. But if it's one or the other and criteria isn't defined. Simply better college career than Dorsey belongs there before cam and that's a simple choice.
They didn’t even give him the Thorpe award despite him being the best safety I’ve ever seen with my own eyes. Had he not got murdered I think he could’ve went down as a top3 defensive player to ever play the game regardless of position.
Boz was a good college LB but I wouldn’t put him anywhere near the top20 college players of all time.
Thurman Thomas had a better career at OSU than Sanders did. People forget how good he was in college.
He'd be close. Good you say??....2 time 1st team AA...finished 4th in the Heisman, and Won the Butkus 2 times in a row. That's alot better than good.
I Love Dre like no bodies business. But he has no business on that list ahead of Santana or Reggie Wayne....Berry over Bennie Blades???...Never
And got jobbed at Texas and at Mississippi State. I'd say Miami was the best team in the country at the end of the season. That defense was every bit as good as any we've ever had. Howard was off by a year. He thought we had a legitimate shot to win the national title in 1982. Got jobbed at Florida then Jim gets hurt against Virginia Tech. Probably finish 10-1 if Kelly does not get hurt.
Luke Luechly had 532 tackles in 3 seasons. That's not a misprint. Never seen anything like him at the college level.
You may be right. Aikman was a fish out of water. Switzer was probably happy to back to the wishbone. Of course, we know the Canes singlehandedly snuffed the wishbone/triple option out of college football.
Sure, I can't argue that. Manziel is the worst on the list, though.
No, I don't. Vince Young is one of the most overrated overhyped QBs in college football history and people everywhere have swallowed the Koolaid. Almost all of it rests on one game (USC) and the media's subsequent orgasmic agenda over it. Without that game, he would have been mostly forgotten along with all the other QBs that were decent but not great. Manziel was a FAR better college QB. Manziel had more passing yards every season than Young did in ANY season. He threw 19 more TDs in 2 seasons than Young did in 3. His completion % was significantly better than Young's every year. Combining their last 2 college seasons, Manziel had more rushing yards and rushing TDs than Young.
I guess you can call me a hater. I named several LBs who IMO was better in college.
Berry was a stud at Tennessee he’s probably my favorite non Miami player in the last 2 decades. Bennie was a beast though he’d be right in the conversation with these 3.
It's not a terrible list but there's a few positions you're way off on. QB no chance in **** any of them BELONG on that list for careers. Frazier is the only one argument worthy maybe Vince. But ALOT better options. Wr is batty too. Randy doesn't belong on there for all kinds of reasons. Main one being his time at marshall. But if the school and comp isn't relevant than right off rip there's a few dudes belong WAY higher at QB starting with the late great air McNair. Safety Eric don't belong at all. You also put LT at backer and you put derrick at end. It's not the issue that you did that. The issue is they both did the EXACT same thing in college. They both were primarily backers who would OFTEN put a hand down on the edge. But you can't put one at end and the other at backer if they filled the same exact role. Same with Percy and Reggie. Same type role. Obviously they each had a primary role one being a backer and the other a running back. But what made them special is they were versatile enough to line up anywhere you put them. I'll be at this horse till I die but if we just talking about college then NO WAY IN **** you don't include troy davis at rb... For those that didn't see it then go look up his stats in college. Also I'm not putting Reggie or Barry in college over marshall faulk. Matter of fact other than MAYBE Herschel I put no one ever in college over Bo... These lists are all so tough to do. Cause there's so many names who deserve atleast valid consideration. Can't go wrong in ALOT of instances. But some players it's not even debatable with.
For just "College exploits" Bosworth belongs on that list.
The bolded section above is pure gold. Well played my man!
