They stayed home to beat ULM that day.

No way an SEC team could lose to a cupcake like that.

Agreed, akin to a UAB loss

I got to see Herschel play in Columbia in 1982, so I'll say him.

Tre Mason, 2013 SEC Championship Game. 304 yards rushing and 4 touchdowns. Mizzou could not stop him.

Roland Sales in the 1978 Orange Bowl vs Oklahoma. Lou Holtz had suspended three starters, including the starting RB, Ben Cowins.

My dad is from Bradley County, Arkansas. My grandmother was a die hard Hogs fan but had never seen them in person. When the Hogs got the OB invite, my dad flew her in for Christmas and then stayed til New Year's Day (we were in West Palm Beach). We all went down for the game and saw Sales set an Orange Bowl rushing record against the heavily favored Sooners. Only game my grandmother ever saw in person.

Mark Ingram, Alabama vs South Carolina in 2009.

Greg McElroy couldn't throw a forward pass and he carried the offense on his shoulders. It was impressive.

Definitely Tre Mason against Mizzou in 2013.

Funny seeing all these McFadden/Felix posts cause when they went up against Mizzou they did nothing in 2007. Tony Temple broke the Cotton Bowl rushing record on them on the way to a 38-7 win.

I could count several performances of the greatest college running back of all time, Herschel Walker of UGA.

I could also count several of USC's greatest RB's of all time, too: Marcus Allen, O.J. Simpson, Charles White, Ricky Bell, Reggie Bush, Anthony Davis, Mike Garret, LenDale White, whew!

I'll go with this one, my favorite: 1967....USC vs. UCLA....O.J. Simpson vs. UCLA Heisman winner, Gary Beban.....#4 Trojans defeat #1 Bruins, 21-20....USC wins national title.....Memories, great memories of this most famous of USC-UCLA games.

Dexter McCluster at LSU…. Came off the bus predicting he’d rush for 200 yards and we’ll well…. Pretty impressive to do so with the nasty DLine LSU had. Big Props

I was at that game, and very disappointed in what happened. After speaking with some BOT, it was well known that Dmac, Jones, Hillis just didn't give a damn. Their coach was fired (Allowed to leave to ole miss with a golden parachute) to get rid of him. Petrino was at the game as well watching from a booth. If I remember correctly. The whole razorback team just fricking didnt give a crap!

I had a girlfriend at Texas during college and we went to the Colorado game in Austin in 1994.

I saw Rashaan Salaam rush for 317 yards. It was incredible to watch.

I remember Curtis Martin had gashed them for 251 yards just a few weeks prior.

Chubbs. Not sure if Georgia threw a pass in the second half and if they did I gotta ask why?

Herschel Walker against Ole Miss in Oxford. Georgia was on the Ole Miss 8 yard line. They called a dive play. Herschel dove over the line, flipped and landed on his feet around the 3 yard line and walked in. Never seen anything like it before or since. Truly the greatest RB ever.
