Gary Beban's Big UCLA Moment

[Rigmanbassplyr]

Lol Gary Beban, My dad told me the story of when him and Gary almost got in a fight when they were in the army lol

WRONG....He is considered one of the greatest running backs of all time. Beban and Jason White are the two worst

@USCTrojans89 Beban was responsible for one of the most dominant UCLA football teams in the school's history. He left the NFL only because he was drafted by a team (the Redskins) who already had a HOF QB (Sonny Jurgenson). As a result, he never got to play, meaning we would never know what would happen if he had a chance to start in the NFL.

'The Great One'

[SpartanResearch]

Thanks for this inspirational video clip. Gary Beban, the 1967 Heisman Trophy winner, has had a remarkable life: athlete, scholar and successful businessman. Quarterbacked UCLA to Top-5 national rankings in 1965-66 and competed for the national championship in 1967. He was an academic All-American and became an executive for a mega-billion real estate firm.  Beban truly deserves the nickname he received in college: "The Great One."

Gary Beban exemplifies what a Heisman Trophy winner is all about: a winner on the field, in the classroom and in life. From 1965-1967 he piloted UCLA into the Top 5 nationally each year and his next-to-last regular season game of his career competed for the national title. The Bruins were 24-5-1 during that period. He was an academic All-American and later became a chairman of a mega-billion dollar firm. A gentlemen, scholar and athlete. Truly deserving of his nickname "The Great One."
