[MichaelDeltoroHD]

That Knee Injury Messed Him Up He Would've Been A Beast In The NFL. 6'2 230 4.3 40 vision hands had some moves total package

[xXFRAVELXx]

Hall of Famers*

[xXFRAVELXx]

This is why the 2001 Miami hurricanes are/should be the greatest football team to ever spawn. So much talent, and a team full of future NFL hall of gamers.  Long live the U

[Novinte]

@bdelpilar218 His name is Kevin Beard, don't know what happened to him.

[blackonefifty]

@bdelpilar218

That's about all he was.. His biggest performance during his time here was against Florida in '03, he otherwise fell off the grid.

[PGHotboy]

Greatest single season in Miami history, guy was a flat out BEAST!

[popmusicblows92]

kind of ironic that mcgahee from the u of all places is carrying denver and making tebow look good lol.

[knightguy11]

@popmusicblows92 Tebow got a win yesterday without Mcgahee in the lineup....FYI!

[MilesP777]

Had that devastating knee injury never happened, this guy would have been one of the best running backs to ever play the game...truly sad and of course it happens in his last game as a Hurricane :(

[ibold1000]

@MilesP777 He is doing quite well for us in Denver Fortunatly!

[1975steelersfan]

[Zoltan209]

Too bad my big badass Buckeyes fucked his shit up in the National Championship. I watch that clip everyday when i wake up. its my morning ritual.

[Dim3bag101]

@Zoltan209  That was the best hit i ever saw! GO BUCKS!

[MilesP777]

@Zoltan209 Go fuck yourself bitch...Ohio State sucks dick...The U is where all the talents/greats have come from!

[HockeyZach23]

[Andres256]

I hate the canes but are happy the Broncos have Mcgahee.

[washwizfan2]

[ebonumba12]

My fave running back to come out of the U!

[dsetgetatme]

Willis was a BEAST AT MIAMI. I reemeber watchin miami back in 2002. He is the BEST RUNNINGBACK EVER to come out of miami.

[76black]

Did anybody notice how short Gary Brackett from the Colts is at 3:15. He is #41

[Maxavelis]

I'm a OU fan, but my NFL team is the ravens, and their key players have come from tha U-awesome program!

[mcooke47]

were do you get your college highlights from ?

[ewil1321]

You need to edit the name... "Can't be touched...except by Will Smith". Go Bucks

[blackonefifty]

What's sad is, Gore was to be named the starter of the 2002 squad until he blew out a tire.

McGahee had a beastly year and was STILL beat out in practice by another.

[ewil1321]

@blackonefifty As a Niners fan, believe me, I wish Gore had never gotten hurt. I remember his freshman year, he was amazing. You can tell now that he lacks that elite speed he had before the injury

[BigSicily954]

@blackonefifty Gore was actually better then McGahee and he STILL is.

[blackonefifty]

@BigSicily954

I know. It's why I brought it up.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Are you smoking weed? He may be better now because Willis blew out his knee, but at the U, there was no comparison. Willis was faster, stronger, and could finish with power!

[BigSicily954]

@412students I guess Miami's coaches were smoking weed too then huh? They had Gore aheead of McGahee on the depth chart genius. The only reason McGahee started in 2002 was because Gore got hurt.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Your logic is flawed. The depth chart does not always show who the best players are. I remember a guy named Drew Bledsoe being injured and replaced by a guy named Tom Brady. Do you hold to the same logic that Bledsoe was as good as Brady? One might argue that nobody knew how good Brady really was because he had never had the in game experience to prove it, well neither did Willis until he got his chance to become the starter.

[412students]

@412students I also think you misinterpreted my comment. It was not intended as an insult, merely a friendly debate about who is the better player. The phrase "must be smoking weed" is just a term a lot of people use to imply someone might not be thinking straight. No need for name calling comebacks :-).

[BigSicily954]

@412students Ok. So I'm flawed. Miami's coaching staff was flawed. Art Kehoe was flawed when he said that Gore was the best RB to ever come through Miami. And apparently, the fact that Gore has been better than McGahee in the NFL is also flawed. By the way, they BOTH have bad knees. Gore has TWO bad knees. It's no coincidence that McGahee was 3rd on the depth chart behind Portis and Gore, and McGahee is STILL 3rd behind Portis and Gore in terms of career production. It adds up.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Know you are comparing McGahee's knee injury to Gore's? You can't be serious!?! There is no contest to the comparison to those injuries. Remember, in my first comment I conceeded that Gore was better now in the NFL, my argument is that Willis was better at the U. Since you are talking about production, lets take their best year and compare their stats, for Willis that would be the 2002 season and Gore the 2004 season.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 In 2004, Gore had 197 rushes for 945 yards for an average of 4.8 yds a carry. He scored 8 td's with a long of 44 yards. He also caught 10 passes for 106 yards and an average of 10.6 yds a reception. He scored 0 td's with a long of 24 yards. 

[BigSicily954]

@412students You're basically comparing ONE really productive season by McGahee to Gore's injury plagued career at Miami. You're using those season stats to tell ME and Miami's whole coaching staff that we're wrong. I coach high school football in South FLA. The guy I work for used to communicate with Art Kehoe in the early 2000's. Kehoe said Gore is the best to ever come through Miami and has the most ridiculous set of "goggles" they've ever seen. McGahee was 3rd on the depth chart.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 This is his most "productive season at the U. In 2002 McGahee rusd 282 times for 1,753 yards for an average of 6.2 yds per carry. He scored 28 td's with a long of 69 yds. He also caught 27 passes for 355 yards for an average of 13.1 yds per catch. He also scored 0 receiving td's with a long of 66 yards (which saved them from losing to FSU on their final drive). Is there a comparison here???

[BigSicily954]

@412students I think you fail to realize that McGahee would've never been the go-to RB if Gore hadn't been hurt. Had Gore gotten the amount of careers that McGahee did in 2002 you would've seen even better statistics. Everything that has happened throughout their respective careers only proves my point. Gore was ahead of McGahee on the depth chart at Miami and he's currently WAY more productive than McGahee in the NFL.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 I don't see how I am failing to see anything. If's and but's don't matter. If they do then one could say that if McGahee wouldn't have hurt his knee, he may have been more productive than Gore in the NFL. If Drew Bledsoe never got hurt would Tom Brady still be the qb he is today? Are you saying that Bledsoe is better than Brady because he was ahead of him on the depth chart. What Art Kehoe said is a moot point because the "proof is in the pudding" as they say.

[BigSicily954]

@412students I just don't understand what you're using to validate your point that McGahee is/was better. Nothing helps your argument. Not the depth chart. Not the current career production. Nothing. What's your ammo? His 1,800 yard season in 2002? McGahee was better than Gore because he ran for 1,800 after Gore got hurt. You're literally disagreeing with me AND the Miami Hurricanes 2002 coaching staff. (one of the best collective staffs of all-time) I don't get it.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Validation? Are you kidding me? What more validation do you need than a 1800+ yard, 28 td season? He scord 6 td's against VT that year, that's almost as many as Frank Gore compiled in his one and only full season. He did play in every game in 2004 and he averaged 4.8 yds per carry. What makes you think more carries would have given him more impressive stats? In fact, if you give him the same carries he would have reached 1,344 yards, not even close to 1,800.

[BigSicily954]

@412students So YOU know who was better but the Miami coaches didn't?

[412students]

@BigSicily954 No I am saying that at the U, on the field, by production Willis McGahee was a better running back than Frank Gore.

[412students]

@412students Since you like to speculate and make "if" statements let me ask you this question. If McGahee doesn't blow out his knee in the NC game, and if he doesn't go pro a year early and they both come back healthy. Who does the coaching staff name the starter in 2003? You think they put Gore in over McGahee coming off that season? After finishing 4th in the Heisman voting and a NC? Not hardly.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 It doesn't matter if Gore got hurt because it happened, you can't take away one of the greatest single seasons for a UM running back because the guy ahead of him got hurt! My ammo since you ask is that season and thats all the ammo I need.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Your point cannot be validated with 2 of your 3 reasons and here is why. Your first major thing the depth chart does not validate he is better because he got hurt and therefore McGahee was ahead of him on the depth chart for the 2002 season. "Ifs" are just that and cannot be used as proof that he was better. McGahee did get to start and then reeled off one of the greatest seasons in UM running back history. This actually validates my point and not yours.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Your second major thing is just plain ridiculous because you even state your point about being better at Miami but then say your basing it off their careers thus far. What careers? Their NFL careers? That's not AT MIAMI! We are talking about AT MIAMI. You can only base AT MIAMI on what they did AT MIAMI.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Your only valid point might be number 3 and since your going off second hand information that I nor most other people could validate for proof. Numbers don't lie and production speaks for itself. They both had one full season in which each back played the same number of games and thus can be compared side by side. Just how many people seeing their numbers side by side would say Gore was better? His family and friends maybe.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Maybe we can settle this with other Canes fans? I have a friend that helps maintain the official Hurricanes football facebook page and he said he would put a poll for who was better at the U, Willis or Frank? Let's just see what Canes fans think. I think your going to be in for a shock that other Canes fans know just how good McGahee was at the U. 28 tds! If you tripled Gore's one year total, he would still be short by 4! Come on man, you know deep down this isn't a contest.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Which is it? You can't make both statements because they contradict each other. Either McGahee was better or Gore at the U, while they were playing, which makes my point for the stats he produced. This whole thing is over your statement that Gore was better at the U. My point is that he was not, and the ONLY thing that is black and white that can be verified is their career stats at the U. This validates my point that McGahee was better while they were AT THE U!

[412students]

@BigSicily954 Willis McGahee was the starter in 2002 and in that one season he compiled better stats by far than Gore. They both played a full season, so I am not comparing his one season to Gore's injury plagued career. Let's get back to the original point I made and that is McGahee was better than Gore at the U. This is undisputable when you look at the stats. I agree that in the NFL Gore has been the more productive back, I don't deny that. All I'm sayin is McGahee was better at the U.

[412students]

@BigSicily954 For their respective careers McGahee had 2,415 rushing and receiving yards with 31 tds in 2 seasons and in 3 seasons Gore had 2,200 rushing and receiving yards and 17 tds. I think the college production "adds up," don't you?

[BigSicily954]

@412students WHY DO YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT McGAHEE'S STATS?!?! I made it perfectly clear that we're not talking about college stats. THE BETTER BALL PLAYER WAS GORE. He was a better ball player back then, hence the reason he was ahead of McGahee on the depth chart...and...he's a better ball player NOW. I don't care about the 2002 season Willis had. He shouldn't have even been starting. You're using the 2002 season to carry your whole argument. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE BATTER BALL PLAYERS.

[BigSicily954]

@412students You can take a poll with the fans. I don't care what the fans say. I care more about what the insiders say. Ask anybody that was inside that Miami program. Ask a coach. Ask a former player. Ask a damn water boy for all I care. Fans don't know shit. They only look at stats.

[BigSicily954]

@412students Fair enough buddy. You side with the stats. I'm gonna side with the coaches.

[Ginga]

Willis was ridiculously explosive before his injury. As a Raven fan, I've seen flashes of it since he came to Baltimore but these highlights really show just how special he was.

The plays at 0:39, 1:35, 2:02, 2:19, 2:50 are perfect examples.

[1DirtbikeBoy]

@Ginga yea mcgahee was 1 fast dog at 0:39, he lost a bit of that but like u sad, wen i watch ravens games i see a lil of thattalent come out from time to time

[arafskybase]

he could catch, run, see holes, make people miss, and stiff arm of course. i hope the ravens dont release him

[arafskybase]

sucks that his knee injury made him slower. he would have had greatness all-around

[LB3is2Fresh]

@arafskybase dont u think he would be the greatest of all time in the league or at least going to pro bowls every year

[arafskybase]

@LB3is2Fresh his knee bothers him every year. and he sat behind ray rice. his knees been bothering him since high school. i love the way he runs hes not a big buff thick guy and hes not a skinny little fast back. hes inbetween.

[darsony57]

yupps bro its all about dem Ravens yall

[eaton24]

I havent checked out your page in awhile but I just wanted to say thank you for fulfilling my request for a Willis Miami highlight. This is awesome man, my personal all-time favorite college running back!

[najewssilluh]

McGahee underwent mitosis and his clone is Lamar Miller

[JMcanefan11]

Great video. That's what we need. To use that nation leading stable of running backs we have! Go back old school

[macrock7]

Canefreak Y did you do this to me...goose bumps up and down..Willis my fav back at the U!

[ankholla4]

The video is sick! Hopefully you will be pumping out some more in the future on our new RB Corp

[PlayboiX122]

Dude was a beast

He scored more TDs in one year than each of the RBs that have followed him have scored in their whole careers

Impressive, but sad at the same time lol

[superman20011]

good lookin



[blackonefifty]

Wait, wait..Gore was there for the '03 season, pardon me.

He split time with Jarrett Payton.

[blackonefifty]

Gore was down from '02 through the '03 season and finally came back in the 2004 season if I'm not mistaken.. Open for corrections by all means.

[88Bigs88]

Wow!!!!! He was very explosive before his terrible injury. something worth noting mostly all of the running back except Clinton Portis had knee injuries

[88Bigs88]

Wow!!!!! He was very explosive before his terrible injury.

[sotampacane]

What a beast. We had an unbelievable group of backs with Edge, Portis, Willis and Frank Gore.

[BigPimpinLeo]

This is true Miami swagger. Canefreak u never let me down, all about tha U

[mistashay]

AWESOME Video dude, but of course I expect nothing less from the Canes Freak

[sanfordgooden]

Great vid bro can you do one of Andre Johnson and Roscoe Parrish?

[jgcane]

now this is what i call a great vid. sweet canefreak2001 your the greatest

[javycane]

Scary part is that Gore beat him out that year .....

[blackonefifty]

@javycane

Gore beat McGahee out in 2001.

Willis McGahee ran for over 1,700 yards in 2002 where a majority of this footage was made.

[javycane]

@blackonefifty When did gore get injured in 02 ?

[carloctave]

@javycane I know you weren't talking to me, but Frank tore his ACL in 2002. I think that it happened before spring practice.

[thuglifezeem716]

@javycane pssh gore never beat out mcgahee did you watch that season

[Xdiablofoolx]

The screen pass at 0:41 was unbeliveable!

[Xdiablofoolx]

The run at 2:19 was also pretty insane

[cavaleer]

Now this is the one that really needed to be done!!!!! Great work as usual bro'.
