This is widely considered the "Game of the Century" for the 20th Century https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-urZvcMgqog
Not only promo'd as THE GAME...it lived up to it! Was perhaps, the all-time classic that featured #1 vs #2 and determine the Heisman Trophy with the top two candidates faced off. #1 D vs #1 O, etc...everything you could ask for, this game had.
Nebraska D: #1 Total Defense, #2 Rushing, #2 Scoring (gave up 5 TD's in 10 games, 3.5 PG!!!) OK #1 Offense
Color Commentator bill Wilkinson, HOF Coach, multiple National Title Winner who established Oklahoma as a national power. To this day, his teams hold the All-Time NCAA Record of 57 Consecutive wins!!!
Watching games for more than a half-century, I've never seen another game so prepped and then delivering on all the props!

I guess I'm just a student of the game as I can give you in-depth breakdowns of Hurry-up Yost teams, to Grange, Thorpe, Nagurski, Nevers, etc, to Rockne, Stagg, and so on...
All of whom were born well before my lifetime. I love the history of college football as it is played, for the most part, for the LOVE of the game.
Gordie Lockbaum was the last great 2-way player I remember: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordie_Lockbaum . In Lockbaum's junior season of 1986, he rushed for 827 yards on 144 carries, caught 57 passes for 860 yards, and scored 22 touchdowns on offense; on defense he had 46 tackles, two fumble recoveries, and one interception; on special teams he returned 21 kickoffs for 452 yards.[4] In a game against Dartmouth he scored six touchdowns,[5] and in a game against Army he was on the field for 143 of 171 total plays.[6] He was named WTBS college football player of the year,[4] New Jersey Sports Writers Association college player of the year,[7] and finished fifth in the Heisman Trophy balloting[8]
In his senior season of 1987, he rushed for 403 yards on 85 carries, and caught 77 passes for 1152 yards, amassing 2041 all-purpose yards and again scoring 22 touchdowns,[9] while continuing to play defense and special teams. He finished third in the Heisman Trophy balloting second in the Maxwell Award voting,[3] and was runner-up for the inaugural Walter Payton Award (Division I-AA player of the year). After the conclusion of the regular season, Lockbaum was selected for three all-star games; the Senior Bowl, the East–West Shrine Game, and the Blue–Gray Football Classic. He appeared in all three games, seeing the most action in the Shrine Game, where he played five positions (cornerback, free safety, strong safety, fullback, and wide receiver)]
Lockbaum was a two-time First Team All-America selection (1986 and 1987) as a defensive back. He still holds several Holy Cross offensive records, including most touchdowns in a season and most points in a season (22 and 132, respectively, accomplished in both 1986 and 1987).
Speaking of 2-ways, the last to do it at the highest level: Leroy Keyes of Purdue in '68
2nd in Heisman Voting to OJ who was arguably the best CFB runner ever!!!
College career
"Keyes played college football at Purdue University, where he was an All-American in 1967 and 1968, and finished third in the 1967 Heisman Trophy voting, he finished second in the 1968 Heisman Trophy voting. In his very first collegiate game, played on national television against eventual national champion Notre Dame, Keyes made his presence known by returning a fumble 94 yards for a touchdown. He played in the January 1967 Rose Bowl game, which Purdue won 14–13 over USC.
He was a dynamic player running and catching the ball. He finished his career running for 2,090 yards and also had 1,204 receiving yards.[1]
In 1967, he led the nation in scoring as he rushed for 986 yards with 13 touchdowns and had 45 catches for 758 yards and 6 touchdowns. As a senior in 1968, he followed it up by running for 1,003 yards and 14 touchdowns while catching 33 passes for 428 yards and 1 touchdown."
On December 11, 2014, the Big Ten Network included Keyes on "The Mount Rushmore of Purdue Football", as chosen by online fan voting. Keyes was joined in the honor by Drew Brees, Bob Griese, and Rod Woodson.

I can't even tell who's a troll and who's a spam bot on this forum anymore. I'd say it went to the dogs, but that dog never barked, not even in its best days...
