64 Days Until Kickoff: Who Is Your Favorite No. 64? (Hampton vs Studdard)

[Blake Munroe]

We’re 64 days away from Texas football.

Today’s No. 64 group is loaded with some serious big-man history.

Casey Hampton headlines it... two-time First-Team All-American, 2000 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year, 329 career tackles, 54 TFL, 5-time NFL Pro Bowler and 2-time Super Bowl champ. One of the best defensive tackles to ever come through Texas.

Kasey Studdard was a key piece of the 2005 national title team, who earned All-Big 12 honors in both 2005 and 2006, helped clear the way for one of the most explosive offenses in Texas history, and won the Joseph W. Moore Award for Tenacity, which pretty much sums up the way he played. 

Bobby Mitchell was a Hall of Honor offensive lineman from the late-60s/early-70s run that included two national titles and three SWC championships.

And Frank Bedrick owns one of the biggest individual plays in Texas bowl history: helping stuff Joe Namath on fourth-and-one at the goal line to preserve the Longhorns’ upset of No. 1 Alabama in the 1965 Orange Bowl.

Who is your favorite?

[General Grant]

I’ll take a different approach.  #64 manned by at least two guy that would kick your ass. 

[Beldar]

Can not  choose between Hampton and Studdard, Other two I like a lot also.

HAMPTON!!!!

This might be the most solid quartet to wear a single number. I'm old enough to have watched 3 of the 4. My dad told me many times over the years about Bedrick's stop. Especially, during SB III while Broadway Joe pulled his Babe Ruth pointing to the fence shot. Still Hampton has to be the highest. A NT leading a team in tackles...

Hampton is special.  Unique.  Dominant.

Hampton was a beast. No slight to studdard. But, Hampton was unstoppable. Studdard was just mean and tough, galvanized that offensive line.
