Head of Alabama Department of Decision-Making
One of my earliest memories as a kid. I was watching it at a buddy's house who is a huge AU fan. Before the game he told his dad he was cheering for Miami, and his dad threatened to kick him out of the house for pulling against the state lol.
The lead up to this game was all about Alabama having no chance to stay on the field with Miami, and it was a complete beatdown. Plus it included the greatest play that didn't count when George Teague ran down Lamar Thomas (who ran his mouth the most before the game) and took the ball away from him.
I remember how monumental this game felt as well.
Gino was 24-56 or something stupid like that?
Just a beat down!

That was my first reaction too. Looks like they squeaked out a handful.

As late as 2008 voted by ESPN the best player in college football history....
Of interest HERE, because without a doubt had the best game ever vs Michigan ha
*1924 - Michigan was the nation's best team with an incredibly dominant D, allowing about about ONE POINT/G over the past 2 years - zero TD 2023 / one 2022
Grange returned the opening KO 95 yds, then had 3 other long runs the 1Q for TD. So in just the 1Q, he had more more TD than Michigan had given up total - in 3 YEARS......Sounds like he played mostly D in the 2Q (had 2 picks) - then he went back on O in the 2H to score another TD on the ground, and throw for another.
Total : 402 yds on 21 touches / 6 TD / 2 INT. He also held for PAT. Who knows how many tackles he made.
IMO judging these guys, you don't ask if they could play TODAY, but how dominant were they relative to everyone else at the time (eg Babe Ruth hit 60+ / next guy hit like 15). Grange was about 6-0/180 - and ran a 9.8 100 yd dash (10.7 100M).... which means he was one of the fastest men on earth at the time.
>> After this game - the Michigan AD (Fielding Yost) came out of retirement to coach again, after his wife said " Fielding you bastard, can't you stop this shit?!?" (or close to that ha)
Grantland Rice was moved to write a poem ffs.....
A streak of fire, a breath of flame
Eluding all who reach and clutch;
A gray ghost thrown into the game
That rival hands may never touch;
A rubber bounding, blasting soul
Whose destination is the goal —
Harold Red Grange - Illinois RB

76 days - 13 hours - 57 minutes - 45 seconds .....
Warren Sapp is the obvious pick - Jerry Sizemore maybe next.....
But since he is a good friend of mine, I give you:
GARY DON JOHNSON - Baylor NG 1975-79
Played with Earl Campbell, Ronnie Lee and the Campbell twins on Tyler John Tyler's state title team in 1973 (started as a soph). A consensus AA in 1976, and was looking at a long NFL career before TT destroyed his knee intentionally in 1977 (allegedly). They couldn't block him, so they put a bounty on him - rumors were that Parcells was behind it - DC at the time for TTech. I love to give him shit of course - but Bear fans will recall he was dominant.

The Game...
In 1974 featured #3 Michigan at 10-0 vs #4 Ohio State at 9-1...
(passage from cleveland.com)
Ohio State's Tom Klaban kicked four field goals, and Michigan's Mike Lantry missed a 33-yarder with 18 seconds left as OSU escaped with the win. Lantry's kick appeared to go over or barely outside the left upright, and the officials called it wide left. Television replays of the kick were anything but conclusive.
It was the second straight year Michigan had a bitter taste after the Ohio State game. One year earlier, the Buckeyes and Wolverines had played to a 10-10 tie, which left them tied atop the Big Ten standings. The Big Ten athletic directors held a secret vote and sent the Buckeyes to the Rose Bowl, possibly because Michigan quarterback Dennis Franklin broke his collarbone in the OSU game and the ADs thought OSU would have a better chance to win.
