Really! I was in the End Zone and watched that play from about the tenth row! I am now suffering flashbacks! All i could do was shake my head in awe at the havoc and destruction the one man wrecking crew that is Herschel Walker became that day!
I tell the story of this play any time great running backs enter the conversation! Also had classes with Bill Bates, tremendous athlete! I believe this game was truly Herschel’s coming out party! We have not seen another player as dominant before or since, JMHO.
I am a big fan of Herschel, but have you ever heard of Bo Jackson? Greatest football player and athlete of all time. It still breaks my heart that he was so strong he pulled his own leg out of its socket and ended his football career 12 years early.
It was his coming out party. I lived in Powell Tennessee north of Knoxville at the time I took a lot if abuse from Tenn fans..
