Barry Sanders Wins the Heisman at Oklahoma State | A Football Life 

Imagine if Barry Sanders was a 2 year starter instead of 1. He would have won the Heisman back to back. Rare that you see two running backs back to back become hall of famers in both college and in the pro level.

He averaged 234 yards per game!!!! Best RB in the history of football in my opinion

Best Running Back Ever

39 touchdowns in 11 games! There are quarterbacks that would love to have thrown 39 tds. Incredible.

Greatest RB of all time .

Greatest individual season in college football history.

Barry Sanders is pure class & a fantastic role model.

I sold cokes in the stands for Oklahoma University when I was a teenager. I got to see Barry and Thurman in person. Barry was and still is the greatest back I have ever seen.

That picture next to Deion in college is incredible.

The amount of games they play today, he would have been the first 3,000 yard Back in college or pro history!

Barry Sanders' Dad needs to get some perspective.

Imagine Barry behind the Cowboys line of the 90's.

A dad should be happy and proud of their son going to any college. Supporting your boy is the right thing to do, disappointing and hurting him was the wrong thing to do.

The fact Barry Switzer was like we’re good playing Thurman Thomas cause Barry ain’t no joke 😂😂😂😂

Never show boated. Just handed the ball to the officials . Class act,

His performance in his Heisman season has never been surpassed by any player before or after. Of every person awarded the award all fall short in playing at any level superior to him . He is the one who won Heisman that truly deserved it over everyone. There has never been one to surpass his achievements that year & never will . Others were awarded the award in other years & most could have probably seen it awarded to someone else but Barry was epitome of what the only choice in his year should be no other choice.

Barry Sanders 1988 season is so insane and won't be matched. He would've had 400 yards in the bowl game if he played all 4 quarters

One of the things that nobody mentions is that Barry's father had a roofing company, and he had Barry help him. Specifically carrying heavy stacks of shingles up ladders every day during the summer, (which gave him tremendous strength in his thighs). That work ethic, and the hard work, helped him become the great back.

dont forget OSUs current headcoach was the QB at the time when barry played at OSU...

Barry’s 1987 season is simply the most impressive by a player in the history of this game. He actually scored I believe 42 touchdowns in 12 games. His 5 TD’s in the holiday bowl didn’t count toward his record. His records may never be broken by another rusher at a major university.
