20 Days Until Kickoff — Earl Campbell

[Blake Munroe]

We are down to 20 days until the Horns face the Buckeyes for the season opener. 

This would normally be the part where I ask “who is your favorite No. 20 to play for Texas?”

Not today. Earl Campbell. 


 

 

And since YouTube isn’t embedding properly, here’s a link to his highlights at Texas… 8 mins worth:

Working out with an NBA team when he was 16. Bird call MJ "Black Jesus." Kobe called Bird "White Jesus."

[Waxahorn]

The most unbelievable running back I have ever seen, the Tyler Rose. the GOAT. Courteous and humble in person.

[bourbasted]

EC's contact balance was off the charts.  Bijan is the only one I've seen that could match it... BUT, Earl also had the power when he ran.  Ricky's power + Bijan's contact balance = Earl Campbell.  The best to ever do it, imho.
