So true! I was in elementary school and lived in Georgia during this time. My parents were both Tech grads, but our whole family were Herschel Walker fans.
My dad and I were at the game sitting in the end zone that Walker scored his first touchdown in. To watch the play develop was amazing. The defensive back took a bad angle on the toss sweep. To see him have to stop in his tracks and try to recover to no avail was simply something I’ll never forget!!
Herschel Walker IS a beast,got to see him play live in college and the NFL.Absolutely ran all over people.Always showed up to play an showed a lot of class.
We played him in high school. I'm younger than him, but I remember him for he was towering above the other players in the huddle. He ran all over us. Straight beast. Saw him when we hosted the track meets. We had a very fast guy but Herschel blew him away in the 100 yard dash.
He should have gone straight into the NFL. One season in the USFL Walker ran for 2500 yard! One season! He should have played his best years in the NFL.
First time i saw him was against south carolina and the heisman winner ( George Rogers ) that year. Herschel blew my mind. i told my friends " i just saw the greatest running back eve r".
Just that first part where it shows Walker, with his build and his tight fitting uniform, and then it transitions to the kicker with what he had. It got me 😂
Herschel was amazing! Also, look up high-lights for Earl Campbell. Loved Herschel at the Cowboys, but followed Earl from Tyler, to UT, to the renowned Houston Oilers.
I watched 1980 Herschel Walker and then watched your video of 1983 Bo Jackson. Now, you would really be a miracle worker if you could find some film also from 1983 on freshman Greg Allen, FSU's RB who ran for 202 yards against LSU in Baton Rouge and the following week ran for an NCAA record of 323 yards against Western Carolina.
I was contracted to do some work on an offshore platform when this game was played. Due to some issues, we couldn't work that day. But I still got paid, double time for 16 hours, too...
Ain't nuthin' better than watching Herschel Punish the Gators!!! How bout that fullback though???? A position football has phased out but I'd love to see Georgia implement it again
🎉The Legendary Buck Belue to Linsey Scott. "GO LINSEY G😅" !!!! I'm from Georgia, 👀 game live and totally A) thought Hershal left that year for Pros. & B) He had 238 yds. Everyone remembers Belue to Scott because that game was a nail-biter.
Fantastic game by the greatest back of all time...don't forget Lindsay Scott though in this game! "There's going to be some property destroyed tonight"!
Adrian Peterson is certainly in the conversation. Marcus Dupree as well. Both were the strongest players on their respective rosters and the fastest as 18 year old freshmen.
There’s a reason why Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, and Marcus Dupree all have 30 for 30’s on them. All athletic phenoms (size, speed, and strength). Adrian only finished second in the Heisman as a true freshman after starting only half the year.
I was excited when the Eagles acquired him in 92. People don’t realize he only had two 1000 yard seasons- one with the cowboys and one with the eagles. He was frustrating- usually a two yard gain but then he’d break a 60 yarder. He definitely didn’t have the lateral, shifty moves of superior backs but his breakaway speed was world class. Too bad i now think he’s a nincompoop.
The kneel-down thing hadn't been invented yet. The play wasnt "busted." (And quite frankly, I wish teams had to run an actual play, not just touch a knee.)
My father in law and I was at this game. Walker had 7000 yards at half time. Gators continued to tackle high instead of taking out the legs. Pitiful. Go Gators
I HATE Georgia and especially their head coach but I agree that HW was THE most talented running back in college football and not just in his freshman season.

Walker was unstoppable at Georgia. Teams knew what was coming,and still weren’t able to stop him.
As someone who was in Middle School at that time it is almost impossible to describe his impact. He was like a superhuman to most of us back then.
Amen, brother.
He went from superhero to super republican dummy
Definitely
So true! I was in elementary school and lived in Georgia during this time. My parents were both Tech grads, but our whole family were Herschel Walker fans.
I was in high school when watching Walker make history as the FIRST FROSH to be a HEISMAN NOMINEE.
I played against Herschel in high school he was a Man amongst boys!
I played against Bo Jackson sucka
Power & Speed 💯

He even ran for Senate!

To see highlights on video instead of grainy film footage was a treat in 1980. Herschel was the reason.
Just that first part where it shows Walker, with his build and his tight fitting uniform, and then it transitions to the kicker with what he had. It got me 😂
Watching Walker brings back so many memories. I remember this game. Walker ran all over Florida. It was a great game for the Dawgs.
If only they included the Larry Munson call, especially on the Belue to Scott throw. Legendary. 👍
Saw both walker and Bo play live and bo walked passed me in the hotel and the guy was a specimen just like walker
No comparing. But Take a look at pics of Len Bias. For the time? Holy Shnikes. Young men weren't built like that back in those days. Very few.
Greatest all around running back every
No. That would go to Bo Jackson
Herschel was amazing! Also, look up high-lights for Earl Campbell. Loved Herschel at the Cowboys, but followed Earl from Tyler, to UT, to the renowned Houston Oilers.
Some people said he should have won the Heisman Trophy when he was a senior in high school. jw
A game I never forgot, hated him for being so great!
Toss sweep after toss sweep and a minimum 3 yds every time😂 love seeing all-carries vids of Herschel
What amazed me was the fact that he was only a freshman in this clip, 18 years ago!!!
You mean 18 years old....
I watched 1980 Herschel Walker and then watched your video of 1983 Bo Jackson.
Now, you would really be a miracle worker if you could find some film also from 1983 on freshman Greg Allen, FSU's RB who ran for 202 yards against LSU in Baton Rouge and the following week ran for an NCAA record of 323 yards against Western Carolina.
To this day he is my favorite college running back.
I was contracted to do some work on an offshore platform when this game was played. Due to some issues, we couldn't work that day. But I still got paid, double time for 16 hours, too...
Some people just don't Realize how good those SEC defenses were back in those days. The 1600 yards he had were well earned!
1880 yd.
Run Lindsey! Lindsey Scott! Lindsey Scott! Lindsey Scott!
I'm more impressed by the blocking than I am by Walker
Up to that point that was never a freshman running back like him
Greatest college football player of all-time. No question.
Ain't nuthin' better than watching Herschel Punish the Gators!!!
How bout that fullback though????
A position football has phased out but I'd love to see Georgia implement it again
Herschel Bo and Marcus Dupree were amazing to watch
when Walker broke loose you heard the announcer say "lookout"... you knew right then it was over..
🎉The Legendary Buck Belue to Linsey Scott. "GO LINSEY G😅" !!!! I'm from Georgia, 👀 game live and totally A) thought Hershal left that year for Pros. & B) He had 238 yds. Everyone remembers Belue to Scott because that game was a nail-biter.

He was 18, no freshman back was as powerful and fast as Herschel Walker.
Adrian Peterson is certainly in the conversation.
Marcus Dupree as well.
Both were the strongest players on their respective rosters and the fastest as 18 year old freshmen.
@cconnell7009 Bo Jackson is somewhere smiling
Bo is in the convo, too, for sure
@@cconnell7009 Yes he is
There’s a reason why Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, and Marcus Dupree all have 30 for 30’s on them. All athletic phenoms (size, speed, and strength).
Adrian only finished second in the Heisman as a true freshman after starting only half the year.
Love the the vids, but nobody has ever done one on the greatest ncaa duo ever insane stats(chase clement & jarrett dillard) Rice football
From the same conference. A couple of 1000 yard rushers from SMU. Best combo of backs until Sony and Chubb
Thurmond Thomas and Barry Sanders was probably the best backfield ever. 2 NFL hall of famers.
Georgia had two plays that day: Herschel to the left and Herschel to the right. 😆
Three plays Walker up the middle
Think my eyes are deceiving me. The WR's are blocking. I haven't seen a WR block in a looooong time LOL
This was the era of THREE YDS AND A CLOUD OF DUST
He and Bo are the best ever
This guy was almost as great as OJ. An amazing college athlete.
Toss right toss left

Offensive line is quite good.
They would award the Heisman to a freshman back then no matter what, by the deserved it more than Rodgers did
About the same time I first started smoking
Marijuana, 30 mi away in Trenton.
NJ NATIVE LOL
Yo Al Michaels been commentary since 1980!
Before.
Most good backs have great burst, but not necessarily top end speed like WR's. Hershel (and Bo) both had all-time 5th gears.
I never heard of him until he joined the cowboys
5:45 first time I've seen 'victory formation' become a 'busted play'.
Imagine if the QB got a neck zinger and missed the next game.
The kneel-down thing hadn't been invented yet. The play wasnt "busted." (And quite frankly, I wish teams had to run an actual play, not just touch a knee.)
Look at the end again, dummy. The RB should never have hit the QB like that on a play like this. @@HorsepowerHouse
Herschel "day hit me in the head" Walker....
Damn how many tosses are they gonna run?
My father in law and I was at this game. Walker had 7000 yards at half time. Gators continued to tackle high instead of taking out the legs. Pitiful. Go Gators
Watch how many times on those long runs 'Run Lindsey' Scott is downfield blocking.
A selfless teammate.
Never took a snap againt Alabama !!
All of those yards don’t mean shit with only one TD! Bo was faster!! Bo Knows
I love me some Herschel Walker, but the 238 yards he rushed for in this game is under what Barry Sanders AVERAGED per game in 1988.
Walker shud have been our first multi Heisman winner.
He would have joined Archie Griffin
He has a daughter cheerleader at UCLA 😮
I HATE Georgia and especially their head coach but I agree that HW was THE most talented running back in college football and not just in his freshman season.
You should probably rechannel your "hate" and "jealousy" to something that matters.
he was never tackled by one
no comment I got it
Was a big fan of his until....
I'm sure you think Hilary and Biden are just wonderful. 🤣
because he breath that good air from China 🤣🤣🤣
He wasn’t shit. The real king of running backs is Barry Sanders. Every other man is 2nd
Really not all that impressive when you see he had 40 carries!
Yeah, really good point😂😂😂. 40 carries? What a wus.
yea, he clearly should have gotten 50
This was before all the head shots😵💫
Watch Herschel Walker play against my baby brother in high school.well all i can say my brother the pirates took.them to overtime. But they lost.
