Barry Sanders' College Days

*Had to swap the song with an approved song for youtube due to an audio claim. Used to be "Smiley Faces".

A highlight video on Barry Sanders' Heisman season at Oklahoma State, the greatest individual collegiate season ever assembled.

Sanders' season was the only college football player's campaign to rank in ESPN.com's "End of the Century" list covering all sports.

His records still stand quite easily:
-Sanders rushed for 2,628 yards, an NCAA record.
-He had 3,249 total yards, an NCAA record.
-Sanders scored 39 TDs (37 rushing, 1 kick return, 1 punt return), an NCAA record.
-He averaged 7.6 yards per carry.
-He averaged 238.9 rushing yards per game.
-He averaged 295.4 all-purpose yards per game.
-He rushed for 300+ yards in four games.

Barry Sanders is the greatest back ever, college or pro.

I really get tired of people equating tossing the ball to a ref with class. Yes Barry was a class act for many reasons, but a player dancing is not taunting and it is not classless...Football is a GAME. Football is SHORT-LIVED. Football is a HEATH RISK.

You put in so much work for such a short moment of success why not celebrate? Every play is a chance of severe injury... why not celebrate your triumph with your team and fans. This isn't tea sipping or a presidential debate it is a VIOLENT GAME

barry sanders BEST OF ALL TIME

Barry Sanders was very mature about the Game! Every time he scores he gives the ball straight to the referee

[EveryNameIsTakenFFS2]

How a guy can rush for 2850 yards & 42 TDs in TWELVE games, set 34 NCAA records, win the Heisman and STILL not get picked first overall is ridiculous.

If Sanders had an O-Line he would own every major NFL rushing record.

They say he was small...yet he was 5'9 200lbs. His lower body is far stronger than your typical 200lb man, the way he could cut and pull tacklers was insane. GOAT by far.

@Nick1944 - I said the exact same thing when I first saw it.

Not only the best running back of ALL TIME. But also one of the classiest. Can't wait to watch his son play college and pro ball.

[quicky2103]

Imagine if the Lions had Barry now. Javid Best CANNOT run the ball.
