I watched every home game Herschel played. I have never seen a player that impacted a game more than Herschel. Out of ten plays he was going to get the ball eight times. I saw him carry two defensive backs into the endzone plenty of times. One of the greatest plays he ever made was as a decoy in the 1982 Clemson game under the lights. He had a broken thumb and it was third and goal. He had not come in the game all night. He came in, Lastinger faked to Herschel and the entire Clemson defense bit. I think it was Tron Jackson that went to the left and strolled into the endzone. I laughed so hard I thought I would choke. The Clemson fans around me did not think it was that funny. And no, Herschel did not score a touchdown against Clemson that night either.

Herschel was and still is the greatest football player I have ever seen. I love Tebow and all that he has done and all that he stands for, but I have never, ever seen 1 player who was the one player every team prepped for, planned for, and keyed on and still dominated the game. He could beat you with speed, strength, moves, and any other skill you can think of.

Funny how all these Tech fans think they know a different Vince Dooley than his peers did. Because the man was one of the most respected in his profession, and still is. That’s probably one of the reasons why Dooley was the FIRST recipient of the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Award.

At any rate, I hope the AJC is collecting info. on these posters that are committing libel.

hey, gtforever, look at what the previous blog said about HW’s dad, he said that “UGA gave it to him, doesn’t matter anyway, people will believe what they want to even when its right in front of them to see, as fas comparing Tebow to Walker, this is apples and oranges, both great players, I do know this however, Walker was a world class track athlete also, he also never called attention to himself on the football field in college nor professional football, watch the film of him playing and you will see it first hand.

Hey Dawgster, he didn’t say he worked for the University, he worked close by. Hmmmm, imagine that, I guess the job market presented a opportunity that HW’s dad couldn’t pass up… Yeah right!

Thanks murfdawg, I guess it’s OK to be approve of a coach who is legendary with his number of NCAA infractions. But hey, you UGA fans, don’t care about how you win, it’s just WIN at any cost….

It would be foolish to discount anything Tebow has done, but it’ll take Tebow 4 years of 5-yard carries for TDs to do what HW did in 3 years from longer range. I could be wrong, but I believe HW still holds the NCAA 3-year rushing record, and most likely would’ve set the 4-year record that would still be standing. Just an observation.
