Earl Campbell - Texas Longhorn Highlights

[thebigjoekrash]

If you think 1:06 is awesome you should see the run against the L.A Rams

[ballerzblock7]

1.06 superman that hoeeeee lool

[FreshDJFreshyfresh]

did yall see that at 1:06 he chokeslamed that guy with one are

[chrisx2k6]

Like others have said. 1:06 is just unbelievable! It really looks like someone being hit by a vehicle.

[Kato00a]

1:06. Oh my fucking asshole!! Are you serious? That had to be fake. Wow, we have so called tough backs now, Trent Richardson and company, and they've never done something like that.

[DGK284]

Excellent music. Better than the rap that so many youtubers use for running back highlights.

[wiggiecl73]

3:11 perfect execution of the counter trey

[thebigjoekrash]

@wiggiecl73 That wasnt the Counter Trey, it was some kind of two guard lead

[wiggiecl73]

@thebigjoekrash Yeah you're right the playside guard pulled instead of the backside tackle, it looked liked the old counter trey at first glance though

[Jdog52251]

[arthurdinty]

HOOK 'EM HORNS

[ricktx105]

@4:48 he just lowered his head and knocked that defender about 3 yards backwards into the endzone and then stepped on him as he crossed the goal line himself.

[lowerbama]

I always liked Earl Cambell but remember him as a up the middle runner, damn he was fast around the end too !!!

[karim4ful1]

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!! At 1;06, i never saw something like that before. ouf

[r3v3r3nd2008]

The Tyler Rose!! if the damn oilers hadn't overused him so much, he couldve probably enjoyed a few more successful years and be right in that conversation with Jim Brown as the greatest runner ever

[pncombies]

The highlights from the 3:34 mark on, are of Campbell and Texas whoopin' the old school Texas A&M Aggies 57-28 at Kyle Field. I believe the Aggies scored on their first drive to open the game, but it was all Texas after that! Earl finished his last regular season, and SWC game, with 224-yards rushing and 4 TD's. It capped off an 8-0 SWC championship, and a perfect regular season for the Longhorns.

[pncombies]

Texas finished 5-5-1 the previous season, leading to Coach Darrel Royal's retirement. It was Campbell's only college season playing tailback. The new HC, Fred Akers, scrapped the wishbone, went to the "I', and got Campbell to lose 15-pounds. Campbell wasn't heavy, he just wasn't playing fullback in the bone any longer. The rest was history: Texas went from out of the top 25 to begin that season, to 11-0 and #1 in the country. They met Notre Dame in the '78 Cotton Bowl for the NC, and lost.

[Waos19]

Thanks Earl, you gave us joy.

[bornahorn]

WOW

[hmanbob]

Awesome is right !  Earl is one of the Greatest to ever play the game.

[Sirscorps]

100% awesome. Most powerful RB in history, with 4.5 speed, agility & incredible balance as well. He is one of the handful of RB's in pro football history where it felt like he could explode for a long run most of the time like; Barry Sanders, Erik Dickerson, Walter Payton, O.J. Simpson, Ottis Anderson, Tony Dorsett, Adrian Peterson, Ladainian Tomlinson, Chris Johnson, Gale Sayers, Duane Thomas, Ahman Green & Bo Jackson, for example.
