I was a sophomore at Texas, sold my season tickets to buy 2 tickets on the goal line for this game. took my dad with me and we were disappointed on the first drive that is was 1st and goal at the 9 and he needed 11 yards. I was sure he would break the record at the other end of the field but my Pops was confident he was going to do it in style like Dorsett in '76. I still have our tickets mounted with his SI cover in my house. I'll never forget that moment only behind being at the rosebowl.
I remember this play. i was a kid then, but i was at the game sitting in the stands and my dad said watch, ricky is gonna break the record right here. boy wat a way to break a record and also scoring a touchdown!
Nothing like breaking the record by taking one 60 to the fucking house!! The sound of that crowd is amazing during that entire run...almost cried. I know he made mistakes after college but we all do. This guy will always and forever be one of my childhood heroes. Run Ricky Run!!! HOOK'EM!!!!!!!!!!!!
@freshprince512 Ricky was on a team similar to last year's team don't forget in 1997 the Longhorns went 4-7. 1997 team was just as pitiful as 2010 team.
Could you imagine that? hahaha Him and John Madden! lol
Could you imagine either him or John Madden telling you bad news? hahahaa
"BOOM! And there it is! There it is! He pulls over to the left lane! WHAM! Unbelievably he has a flat tire! We didn't see that comin!" - John Madden lol
@thegorn68 Damn right. We havent recruited any good RBs since Jamaal Charles went Pro early. Charles would have dominated Jun, Snr years-he was real good.
Ricky and Ronnie = insane 1-2 punch. Watch them both go to the pro bowl (that's in Miami) all that team needs is a receiver to step up and watch out for the fish!
ricky is still agreat runner. i wish he didn't take two years off he would be considered an all time great. If i ran of a list of the top 10 backs of all time however he would be number 10. He average over 100 yards a game with the saints and with miami before his retirements.
Wow, you're a moron. "First of all", he passed Tony Dorsett for the most career rushing yards in the NCAA history, which was broken a year later by Ron Dayne (Wisconsin). Notice how Musberger says "11 yards shy of the record." He breaks the record on a tremendous 60 yard run. Second, this is not the NFL, and not once does it say he breaks the record for the longest TD run.
I could give a rat's arse what Ricky does or did in the NFL. Horns nation is forever indebted to him for sticking around in '98 to catalyze the reemergence of Texas football as an elite program. Run Ricky Run!!!
Those days were Ricky's "Glory Days"! I remember when I was younger, watching Ricky run for Texas. I'm glad to see he's enjoying life now! He was definitely different...misunderstood....but no doubt a special person. I miss seeing him play in burnt orange! Hey Ricky....HOOK EM!
This video is about Ricky Williams passing Tony Dorsett. It's not about Ron Dayne or anyone else. Ricky is still the man and is still a great running back in the NFL today. I'm glad to see him back.
if u wanna know where Ron Dayne is all u hafta do is check the sideline for the guy holding a clipboard and handing out gatorade... nah I'm j/k he actually isn't even on a roster. The Texans released his sorry ass after 2007 and he hasn't been signed yet... and the 2009 season is coming up, that means he didn't even play in 2008!!!! LMAO!!!
Man I feel so bad for Ricky, for the longest time he was just smashed for using pot. Personally I don't smoke it, but I think it should be legal. For sure in the pro's, shit if you can smoke pot and still dominate that should just be given the smokers MVP of THC haha
okay if you're in critical condition and on your way to the hospital do you want your awaiting surgeon to be sober or high on marijuana because "it's legal"? just asking.
I was told from people in the program that they took the parts from that field that Ricky ran on for that run and put it in the end zone when they installed new turf a couple of years back.
well to qualify as big bust you have to have big expectations going in. The Saints traded their entire draft to get Ricky Williams. Ron Dayne was picked 11th and was the THIRD running back taken. So I wouldn't say he was too much of a bust. Certainly not the biggest. Even though Williams has had a better career, because of his higher expectations, he was a bigger bust.
Sorry bu i have t disagree. He was a good running back on a bad team. Its hard for a rookie to come and just carry teams. Eddie george did it, Adrian did it, but just because he didnt carry the team does not make him a bust. it makes him a young good player.
haha ricky going to be tearing it up this year while ron dayne will be on the bench (if any team even signs him)...he's too fat. at least ricky has already shown that he can be successful in the NFL. how many NFL rushing titles does ron dayne have? 0. The same amount that the will have at the end of his career (which might be now).
Ron Dayne was a good running back who got the ball every play for 4 years, he was not even close to Being on rickys level and it showed in the NFL. Take nothing away from him he was good in college.
you bitches could talk shit all you want, but Ricky is in the history books as a heisman trophy winner, and as one of the greatest RBs to have played at the University of Texas. You guys are "nobodys". So talk all the shit you want, you're just hating on Ricky Williams. Regardless what he has done, he is one of the greatest backs EVER in College football history. Not to mention i think he'll make a come back next year, that's why Bill Parcells kept him.
GREATES COLLEGE RUNNING BACK EVER! what he did in the nfl can't offset what he accomplished in college. he still holds a ton of college rushing records period. anyway, it was so classy of dorsett to be present at the game. he handled himself with class throughout that whole ordeal. I love dorsett and ricky. those are definitely two Texas legends right there!
dude hes 30.....thats when rb start slowing down.... he sucked in the cfl.... when he came back he only averaged 2.5 yards a carry....... he still may be a drug addict n he has a shitty team with no ol. hes not gonna do shit
It kills me how everyone on here can talk shit, but none of U can do half of what this man can! Those who can, Do! Those who Can't, critique those who Can......
you're a fucking cunt. Ricky Williams could of been and still can be an elite back. All the man wants to do is smoke bud and knock defenders silly. Leave him alone. HOOK 'EM BITCHES!
Man, I almost feel bad for Ricky. He's always been an internal guy, really shy, and once he was thrust into the limelight of the NFL he just couldn't cope. He's really made a mess of things. I hope he can get his life in order again. Still, he was one great running back.
Dallas, you are an idiot. While at UT, coaches had him constantly under survelliance via bodyguards in the form of lower classmen. He was in no way arrogant, if anything, his love for pot shows that he is an introverted individual. You are a moron and a disgrace to UT burnt orange for that comment.
Hope he comes back to Miami. The #2 pick in the draft a couple of years ago can't win the job outright, from a guy who was out of the league last year for being out of shape.
Gonna miss seeing Ricky run. Thanks for the memories!

Puff puff pass, Ron Dayne is the king. The king isn't best running back ever, but the player with the most yards. Ron Dayne has the most yards.
If you're talking best college running back ever, Dayne and Williams are barely in the conversation. Neither would even get my 5th place vote.
But Ron Dayne owns the record. Sorry, but it's true.
