Yeah...Kaufman came out of high school in 91 as an All-American from LHS. He played all four years at Washington then was drafted by the Raiders in the first round. If anyone has footage of his high school days...that's something to watch. He was a monster in high school. Watched him during his junior and senoir year in high school and they were nothing short of magical. He missed almost 4 games during those two years and still had 73 tds in 24 games. You don't see stats like that no more.
UCLA's was probably one of the VERY few teams that had the athletes to catch a guy like Napoleon Kauffman from behind. Wasn't enough that day. This was the first of three straight wins by the Dawgs over the Bruins ('94 - '96). The last stretch of wins the Dawgs have had over the Bruins in football, to date (unfortunately).
That sounds about right. Yeah, he was a freshman when the Dawgs played the Wolverwienies in the 1992 Rose Bowl so I think you have those dates just right.
Yes that is correct. I believe he played for the Raiders in 1995 and then retired early after the 2000 season. He was an amazing player and was just incredibly fast.
@jbilly24. agreed. love Dickerson running style too.

gotta be the smoothest runner of all time. Kaufman.

@ottdawg2000 I'd say Dickerson was "smoother"....but not as fast.

@SaibKoj I know I saw almost all his High School games as well. Never seen anything like it before or since complete domination.
