Herschel Walker is ESPN's #1 College Football Running Back

Growing up in GA in the 80's, it was a pleasure to watch Herschel Walker run over opposing defenses, all the way to a National Championship for the Silver Britches in 1980. He won the Heisman Trophy in 1982, and probably would have repeated in 83 had he not turned pro.

I was in Mrs. Wilkerson's 9th grade geometry class when our principal came on the school intercom to announce Herschel's signing with the New Jersey Generals. There was a stunned silence, broken only by the sound of Mrs. Wilk's choked crying.

What a day...
