Classic Tailback - Ricky Williams Texas Highlights

A compilation of some of Ricky William's highlight's at the University of Texas. How good was Ricky Williams as the featured tailback of the Longhorn's? He had a better career than Earl freaking Campbell and broke career records for touchdowns and yards while in Austin. He was pretty freaking good.
The games I used to take the clips from can be found on Stephen Barnett's youtube channel (and there were a few other channels I used as well that you can find if you look around): / sbbarnet. .

He was dripin 💧! One of the first players I’ve seen to wear the dark visor ! 🔥🔥

[@Ginga]

Players were rocking them in the early 90s, no?

[@kemosabeusmc]

[@youngwoody]

dam ricky in that #11 jersey is real throwback

[@ectyka]

I’m really glad there’s no annoying music to this awesome highlight video. Ricky was so amazing to watch!

[@creepycraig73]

Ricky was BRUTAL.

[@Kevin-cy4qn]

Ricky's breakaway speed is stuff of LEGENDS, WOW HOW PHENOMENAL OF A COLLEGIATE PLAYER HE WAS!! #11 #34 #37, SAME RESULTS!!!!

[@munchiesu9734]

Run Ricky run! This guy is a living legend, and one of the greatest college football players to ever do it! Police in Texas should leave Ricky alone these days. Ricky has never been a problem anywhere.

[@elijahransom9288]

Just wanted his green

[@bubbakemp5817]

The only trouble he caused was for opposing defenses!🤣🤘🤘🤘

[@darkwingduck315]

This dude was the only back I would sit here and say was just like herschel walker. Strong like a bull, as quick as a cheetah and just flat out amazing.

[@bellazoe1]

He was a bowling ball coming at you full speed. In the hershel bo jackson level.

[@samsepiol05590]

Herschel Walker CTE on 💯

[@lindytucker5106]

Herschel was all muscle and speed. The thing about ricky was he had quick feet too. So not only could he run u over and outrun u he could beat u with the quick stutter step

[@mysticmac3805]

Not even a comparison.. Williams was light years better then walker

[@jordanlamont2365]

@@mysticmac3805Naw Bro.. Herschel Walker at Georgia Was Unstoppable…I Watched Herschel and Bo Jackson in College. No RB In College Football History as Ever Dominated The Way Herschel and Bo Jackson Did.. Not Even The Great Barry Sanders! Herschel Carried Georgia to The National Championship! Ricky Was Good But He Wasn’t on Herschel Level.. or Bo..🤷🏾

[@9months2live7]

I miss those three back i formations and guard pulling dives. Teams don't run plays like these anymore.

[@blissfulprincess1051]

Smash mouth football!!!! Wins games and championships

[@Maal7432]

REAL FOOTBALL. Gahhh that was fun.

[@darkwingduck315]

He was one of the most amazing running backs i have ever seen. His speed and power were only second to H Walker.

[@t7rick13]

Adrian Peterson is the best combo of speed strength and power ever

[@Steve_643]

Bo Jackson was the fastest player I ever seen run the length of the field.. The Monday Night Game against the Seahawks where he broke the Boz twice then ran a sweep down the sideline for 80 yds. It looks like the video is sped up it is the fastest 80 yd run I ever seen. Can you imagine being on guy playing CB that night seeing a 230lbs man come around the edge ripping up AstroTurf he is running so hard,right at you, what’a you do? Bo Jackson collision where violent he was to fast for his own good especially weighing 230-240. He was injured a lot when he was playing Football. You can really see it on his last run against Cincinnati where he tears up his hip trying to break a shoelace tackle that caused a half step while running at full speed. His Doctor said that half step had so much downforce it dislocated his hip from the socket then reattached as he was rolling on the ground. This is what damaged veins and blood vessels cutting off blood flow to the hip. Eventually having to get a total hip replacement just so he could walk. Bo’s Doctor also said because he ran with so much power and there was so much force after he broke his foot loose only a few athletes in the world that could generate the pounds downforce pressure to do that kind of damage. So his Doc said if he wasn’t a athletic freak of nature he wouldn’t of got hurt, but then we wouldn’t have been wowed by how natural Bo Jackson did the unbelievable on the Field during his Football & Baseball career’s

[@projectbiscuits8777]

All these men you all mentioned here, were all amazing. I'm glad I was around to watch them all do their thing!

He was perfect for ANY team back then, now, tomorrow, next year, 50 years, and when AI takes over over the game

[@desmondcampbell6734]

He wore #37 for Doak Walker. Ricky Williams was my favorite running back of all time.

[@lloydkline3265]

Earl Campbell, legendary texas running back

[@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536]

I was gonna like, but I saw 37 likes. So let's leave it at 37 for Doak!

[@joshb8828]

He missed 3 or 4 years of his prime and still had 10k yards in nfl.

[@user-ey8ly9jc8n]

Back then when I use to watch college football🏈.... Ricky was the man💪

[@alecmacleod7821]

Dang, dude, your videos are great! I'm surprised they don't have more views!

[@davidk6269]

Texas running the full I-formation is fun to watch. Now that is a LOT of lead-blocking power.

[@brockerik1]

Man, this football was so fun to watch

[@mikereed1460]

This was the perfect storm, that O-line was the real deal with the greatest college RB on top of that!!!

[@coreygolphenee9633]

the pace of Rickys feet blow my mind the most

[@Reppinoaktown2day]

I have been looking for a lengthy Ricky college video for years! Know I see your making a Jamal Lewis one...you are awesome. If I could make a request, could you do a greg jones when he was at FSU? Again, you rock!

[@robertlesuer2755]

Classic footage, respect 💪💖👏.

[@nimda0]

RICKY SHOULD BE A HALL OF FAMER!!!

[@jacirogers9109]

Love seeing this.

[@Coastiestevie]

I remember my dad taking me to a UH/Texas game in Houston before his death to cancer. An alumni member of Texas he was. Ricky was there but this was long after he was a student. I took my dad’s UT hat and ran down to the railing right above Ricky. Me and a bunch of fans screamed out his name probably about 5 times. He finally heard us and autographed our hats with Darrel K Royal. It was definitely a good memory.

[@stevenames9056]

This dude's O-LINE should be in the college football hall of fame. They were mainly responsible for his highlights. Blocking clinic.

[@BLKnPrd67]

Ricky is awesome, and that oline deserves a lot of credit for opening those holes.

[@aroor00]

“Hello record book! As he runs to the hall of fame!” Love that call on that run the most classic call on history that stands forever!!!

[@marcussimmons2708]

Boy! Bringing Ricky down in the open field was like trying to tackle a runaway truck… A defensive back’s worst nightmare…

[@careful7951]

Ricky was unstoppable on NCAA. Just wasn’t fair at all.

[@santonior2]

Ricky Williams was so cold in college he didn’t need to have a career in the NFL.

[@newrivervalleywellnessdotc1260]

It’s amazing how he continues to get faster after contact.. just peep that

[@antoniobolgnameyerwe3844]

Ricky just had a huge head of steam by the time he was at the OL/DL divide. Ran with the perfect amount of recklessness, wasn't the best at juking people, but lowered his head/shoulders into every damn would-be tackler he came into contact with.

[@brendenoleary1453]

keep up the great vids pocky. leonard from tecmo forums here

Hey man, how've you been? Haven't heard from you in a while!

[@unitedstatesmarinecorps7.62]

Greatest longhorn runningback/fullback of all time?

[@mwhaley91]

1011 carries....crazy

[@Ginga]

No wonder he retired early. Dude carried the ball 2653 times between college and his first 5 years in the league. Not even taking into account catches and hits taken in pass protection. Crazy.

[@Steve_643]

Ricky has really short strides when he is running especially for a 220+ power back. Shorter strides causes Ricky to get to full speed in 5 yds where if he had long strides wouldn’t hit top speed as fast but his long speed would increase helping not to get caught from behind on long runs 50yd and up. Personally think a good RB has shorter strides and can stop on a dime and be at full speed with first 5 -7 strides. Most long stride RB need to get some good blocks just to get up to speed also takes longer to stop. Really think long striders fit X,Y receivers and your TightEnds usually positions that prefer players 6’2”🏃🏻‍♂️6’7” tall

[@moprobz2291]

I love football

[@solomoncooper6491]

Why no Epic Instrumentals? would bring these videos to a whole new level of greatness.

[@julianfife6683]

It's cool to hear the announcers talk about this guy while he was making history. Mute it and put your own song on if you want!

[@solomoncooper6491]

+Julian Fife I've seen videos with Epic battle music and still have bits of the announcers voice in the video a great combination I must admit.

[@PockyCandy]

People can't complain about music when there's none in the videos. And like Julian Fife says, I enjoy hearing the announcers (and crowd) get hyped as the play happens. Lastly, music can date a video very badly, even instrumentals. By not including music, these videos will still be watchable in 5 years (if youtube is still a thing in 5 years)

[@bigkfromtx9526]

PockyCandy true

[@PockyCandy]

Two years later, this is still watchable with no music, even if I've started putting very muted vibes in some of my videos.

[@LeeChappell-zj3uv]

Did he have a different number every year .

[@_cali187x_3]

If it wasn’t for USC tryna move him to fullback, Texas wouldn’t have had this guy out of San Diego California same as Reggie bush & marcus Allen

[@chillxxx241]

Texas tried to do the same thing. I think they were just paying more back then.

[@MegaLBreezy]

O.... K! 😂

[@dcdahustla15]

His roots are in Texas

[@KinnereyB]

And if 6 teams didn’t pass on Brady before being selected 199th overall, some other team would have Super Bowl wins. If Jordan was drafted by the Blazers, Air Jordan would have been located in Oregon. We can play the what if game all day long. What’s your point

[@cliffordowens2939]

Is it me or was players bigger and faster back in the day

[@Sagerichard2894]

Probably just the big shoulder pads. Players these days wear more “fitted” shoulder pads if that makes sense.

[@djlutz9443]

Bedsides the pads the interior lineman on both sides are much more lean now a days as speed and athletic ability has taken over for all positions.

[@BIG-D-STAR]

No.11 what a weird number for a running back, even in college.
