3 Legendary College Running backs in one Video. Pete Rock Sample ReFlip [Old School Hip Hop Style Beat] (Three Dog Night - One) HIP-HOP SAMPLE INSTRUMENTAL prod. by omito Video Made By Jamal Ofori
Hershel is the greatest college football player EVER.. Bo was a freak with sick acceleration and elusiveness for such a huge back. Marcus was a alien. I still can’t find the words to describe that monster…
On a complete side note: Cam Newton would like a word. With not a single player on that 2010 Squad making the NFL besides Newton…..Cam carried the whole school on his back all the way to a national championship. Something Bo nor Herschel can say. They all had amazing support on their teams. Cam? Not so much.
Dupree maybe the greatest what if. Jackson just an unreal athlete. Hershel a great all around football player not unlike Roger Craig. Interestingly their receiving and rushing stats are strikingly similar yet Hershel is considered a disappointment by some.
These players belong in the same video. These are the athletes we don't see today at this position...pure speed, acceleration, and power...attacking runners...authority. Really good job to put this together. Made me miss men playing football that way. Drop step blocking killed the NFL for me...
All of these guys are phenominal but when I watch the video Bo stands out to me as having the most acceleration and explosiveness. Herschel looks like the hardest to bring down, and Dupree looks the most fluid.
True, very good eye! True story though, Dupree was as fast as he had to be. One day in practice he outran a former Texas State High School sprint champion named James Lee who had the angle on him, 80yd TD! Dupree was deceptively quick and fast.
Marcus was a track man, he liked the 100 and had a higher yard average than anyone in college football as a RB. I believe he would have ran the 100 as a pro if he wasn't forced to be a football player! He(Marcus) also (i think ) had a higher yards average per game than anyone too. I think.
When Herschel hit the college scene it was literally mind blowing. For a player his size, 6 1 and 225, who could run that fast was just unheard of. Then, the graduating high school class of 1982 comes and there's two more guy's with that kind of size with speed to go with it. Bo wasn't quite that big coming out of high school though. He was around 210 215. But the story of that recruiting season was Dupree. 6 3 235 and had all the tools. I'm not sure what would of eventually happened if Dupree had stayed at OU, but man, it would of been great watching it. The 1982 recruiting class put out several awesome running backs who would play in the NFL. Bo, Dupree, Dalton Hilliard, Garry James, Reggie Dupard (those last three out of Louisiana alone). There were quite a few more, but those were off the top of my head.
Yea, my brother and I were distraught when we heard Marcus had left. Grew up poor in Oklahoma, and really the only thing to look forward to was football season, and that had a wet blanket thrown over it when he left..... they're looking pretty good this year though.... BOOMER SOONER
Also born in that 1961-63 window - Christian Okoye, 6'1" 265lbs, "The Nigerian Nightmare". 4.4 speed at 260lbs. But sadly, another career plagued by injury.
I don't know.Walkers freshman year he won a national championship and had 150 yards less and 1 touchdown more than the 1980 heisman winner as a senior..walker had 500 more rushing yards and 2 touchdowns more than marcus both on there freshman year .
987 did you know that Tim tebow didn't start his freshman year. So on sophomore year he ran for 1005 yards with 23 touchdowns and threw for 32 touchdowns. Yes accounted for running and throwing for 55 touchdowns and a heisman. Which sounds like a better year marcus at 1114 yards and 13 touchdowns and he didn't throw for any touchdowns. None or Tim throwing and running for 55 touchdowns. Your just not thinking about who's better
@randyjohnson6845 Marcus didn't start a game till about halfway through the season. Imagine if he decided to stay in shape he'd be the king of all running backs in college football. Plus he still has the Fiesta bowl rushing record and basically only played half the game
1:45 best run in college football history...vs. SC in 1980, the showdown vs. heisman candidate George Rodgers...Herschel hit a previously unknown gear down that sideline...3 players had angles on him and no one could touch him
Bo Jackson was the best , hands down. God given talent that Bo tried to share with all of us in baseball and football simultaneously....mind boggling. Thanks Bo !
If I could only pick one it would be Marcus Dupree , the absolute best running back of his time. Injuries ended his career early, just like Bo’s career ended because of injuries also. It was an amazing time for running backs, never to be duplicated again.
Marcus Dupree set Fiesta Bowl record in one half. He rushed for 239 yards on 17 carries against an Arizona State team that had the number defense in the nation at the time.... It happened New Years Day back in 1983....He was truly amazing...BOOMER...
Man oh man! What could’ve been with those 3 RBs in the NFL barring injuries, Baseball, and the USFL. All 3 were damn Beasts! It was nuts watching those guys play college ball back the in the day.
Bo was the shiftiest, Herschel most powerful, and Marcus fastest. I remember watching these guys when I was young (don't forget Earl Campbell!) and it was something else indeed. Bo was from the same area I grew up in. We haven't seen backs like these since the 80's. True Supermen carrying the pigskin!
The recruiting year of 1982 was filled with very good runningbacks. Both Jackson and Dupree were in that class, along with a few others who made it to the NFL. Dalton Hilliard, Garry James, Reggie Dupard, Spencer Tillman, Doug Dubose, Alan Pinket. I'm sure there are more, regardless, there were many RB's in that class who went on to play in the NFL. The cream of the crop was Dupree.
Amazing talent. I remember sitting in the stands at UT and Herschel's first appearance. I followed recruiting and knew about him but Ga. didn't put him in until later in the 1st or 2nd quarter. But that first TD and we knew this guy was unique, Bo seems to get more out plays that just don't look like it's developing well, but his quickness and speed make the play. Marcus uses his speed more. Bo, his quickness and Herschel just runs over you better!
Antwan McAfee I watched it live. Dupree came in heavy for that game and had some type of injury. He still went off! Of all the RBs I’ve ever seen, he passed the eye test more than anybody.
It seems to me Bo Jackson had a gear no one else had, the breakaway gear. And with Marcus Dupree it was as if he said "out here in the open field only a lineman has what it takes to slow me down and I don't expect to see any linemen in the secondary in front of me."
2:37 *Agility Power Pure Speed* One of the most impressive runs I’ve ever seen from a big RB….especially the initial portion where he jukes the defender.
I think so too. Bo was quicker than Herschel and can change directions better. Herschel had the best straight away speed of the 3 and Dupree was the slowest, though 10.4-10.5 100m still world class.
Marcus Dupree probably ran a 10.5 not 9.5 as a recruit benched 400 10 times for Lucious Selmon. Marcus weighed 200 in August 240 on New years day. Thats why Switzer criticized him but Marcus had minor injuries that hampered him late in the season. People questioned his heart but they didn't have a clue. When a man at 20 is injured in a pro league after his time at Oklahoma then 5 years later shows up at his agents door weighing 228 and wanting a shot at the NFL. Marcus lived his NFL dream for a season or 2 so the man had a huge heart to overcome what he did. Even though there was disappointment for Sooners fans he only played 15 or so games what he did in that short period of time will always warrant respect and Marcus will always be loved by the Sooner Nation.
josh potts one thing that shocks me is all three of these backs were major in college, but they did not have the same impact in the NFL. I know Jackson made a small impact before his knee or his hip went out. Then Walker made it, but not a major impact. And Dupree, after watching the 30 for 30, act as if he was scared of the big time.
That’s what I thought. Clearly the guy could run, but when I look at these clips, with the best will in the world, I’m not seeing a guy who could run with Usain Bolt.
Marcus didn't love playing football. What happened after the Nebraska game in his freshman year reflects that. If you haven't, watch his ESPN 30 for 30. Bo and Herschel did love playing sports and had much better careers. By the way, add Eric Dickerson to this group during the era.
He got burned out from all the attention. By my senior year I had little joy in sports anymore and just went through the motions. I wasn't recruited at all and can only imagine what he went through. These kids are pushed way too hard now of days and that's a shame to me
I just love it when people try to psycho analyze a person, they have never met before, but feel highly qualified to make such grandiose statements about such persons. I do not personally know Marcus Dupree. Therefore, I will simply say this about the man......... He was an outstanding athlete, whose time came and went. Now he serves a greater calling by helping others and that is what I believe makes him a great human being.🏈
Herschal Walker- Most violent runner of all time Bo jackson- maybe the most explosive,most productive career of the three Marcus Dupree- Most rare breed running back of all time, had the most POTENTIAL of anybody out there
Mason Hazelwood Dupree was lazy. Could never stay in shape.Sometimes looked unmotivated. But probably had the most potential. What could have been.Bo Jackson had durability problems when he played in the N.F.L.Maybe because he never went through a NFL training camp could have been the problem. If he hsd stayed healthy who knows how good he could have been.As for Herschel, always kept himself in tip top shape. Never really got injured while in the NFL.Wasn't as fluid as the other two guys.Ran a little too high and stiff,but in actuality had a pretty good professional career in the USFL and the NFL. All in all 3 great college players.
Mason Hazelwood ill take dupree ahead of bo and walker ...he played for a coach that took time to fuck his head up ....when he scored he told the team not to run to the endzone and celebrate with him ....barry is a piece
That Herschel run at 1:47 might be the most impressive run I’ve ever seen all 3 dbs had an angle on him and he just runs straight past them like they weren’t even there
I’m truly amazed to think even with all 3 of their talent, they all really never scratched the true surface of their superpowers as running backs; circumstances and how life plays out is something else. U you were to tell me 1 of these 3 backs wouldnt have panned out in the NFL Id think u were smoking rocks...
Bo probably had the most agility, his ability to stop start and change directions is amazing for someone of that size. Walker and dupree would walk straight over the defenders, bo could too but made more of an effort to get round them
Bo still has the fastest 40 yard dash ever recorded and is one of three running backs to have runs of 90 yards or more in the NFL and he did that really in 1.5 seasons.
Chomp pig No he wasn't. He was 235-240. He is in the same Sooner forum I am in and have seen this question asked of him many times, plus what Barry Switzer has said as well. He was never 215-220 in College.
I saw all three run in college and the pro level. Dupree and Herschel started in the USFL. Walker had the heart of lion 🦁. If I were going to start a team , I would pick BO. The short time he played in the NFL , he was the most feared rusher at that time, just ask the Cincinnati Bengals DBs 😂😂and Bosworth😂
Football AND baseball - impressive! You know who I'm talking about, obviously - that puts him above the rest! The only person to ever go #1 in NFL draft AND in the top 10 in MLB draft. Yes, of course I'm talking about Kyler Murray. Wait - you thought I was talking about Bo, or about PrimeTime?
I was 10 years old in 1983, and thought it was normal for a RB to be 6'2 230 lbs., and run a 4.3 or less. Little did I know it was just a special era for gifted athletes at the RB position. Eric Dickerson was 6'3 220 and ran like a deer. Incredible group of RB's.
According to Switzer , Dupree had a bad voice that was constantly over his shoulder .

Hershel had the fastest track times and was the most durable. Dupree was prettiest to watch but always had toughness issues. Bo was the best pure Athlete. If all three were on my team, Hershel would get 50% of the carries. Tougher, more violent, better in goal line situations. Bo could tire late in games but always pushed through it. Hershel got stronger as the game went on.
First of all, Barry Sanders was the greatest college (possibly pro too) RB ever. Secondly, Bo is probably the most talented overall runner of these three.
Lol Sanders? You're whacked dude......Bo had the most natural ability......Herschel was the hardest working and made more out of himself than most thought possible.
@@sydboski Speed and quickness are not the same thing. 10.23 is how quick you ran it. Speed is how fast you are ultimately running. You can beat someone in a race by being quicker even though the other person can ultimately run faster. ie... the record 1/4 mile for a dragster may not have the record for the top speed .
Gotta agree all three had circus nfl careers. Dupree played 2 years with Rams after cfl. Walker cfl as well and was involved in that crazy trade between Cowboys and Vikings. Bo and his love for baseball!!!!!
