The Season - 1998 Ricky's Heisman

Ricky Williams breaks Tony Dorsett’s 22-year-old NCAA career rushing record, and joins Earl Campbell to become the second Texas player to win the Heisman.

[@Swagandkicks]

I sat in my college dorm room every weekend my freshman year and watch Rickey Williams break the record and win the Heisman

[@Heisman-em8gp]

My favorite rb of all time. Also the reason the Longhorns are still my favorite college team.

[@zekegarzaiii2012]

Amen ! If I was a great football player playing for UT I would be his fullback. Playing back up for him.

[@ebtv7663]

Same

[@kendrickjones3115]

Google PREIST HOLMES ...and there IS a dude named EARL CAMPBELL ran for them there Longhorns ....and D'Onta Foreman ...and BIJAN!

[@hectorlopez1069]

One of the epic players of the Texas longhorns football team. He had the same running style, like Earl Campbell.

[@hectorlopez1069]

Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams won Heisman trophies for the longhorns.

[@RCHorn7]

One of the funnest seasons I ever had as a longtime Longhorn fan. All due to Ricky Williams aka :the Texas Tornado"

[@TheGoogleScholar]

Right in the feels…

[@docmemphis]

True story. My dad wasn't around and I felt indifferent about the other kids and their dads, so I said this man was my Dad. Other 2nd graders were amazaed. Little ole bitty 2nd graders know who he was lmao

[@Swishh77]

Thanks for uploading all the longhorn network content!!!!

[@willielapier3707]

Ricky Williams is a legion i was 8 year old when Ricky played at Texas I'm a big Mack brown fan he coach the north Carolina tar heels football team outstanding coach thanks

[@theconnors9935]

Much Love and Respect to Coach Brown…..#🤘🏾

[@zekegarzaiii2012]

It would have been so awesome if Ricky Williams played in the 04 and 05 Season with Vince Young. They would have been the ultimate power house team in that era.

[@lilbru]

Vince has Jamal Charles... Pretty good running back

[@Cronellishways]

This was a special time in college football.

[@hectorlopez1069]

He was fast and great at college. He was heading to score lots of touchdowns for the longhorns.

Hook'em Horns.

This is the year I became a Longhorns fan. #HookEm

[@hectorlopez1069]

He also had a good career in the NFL. He was good for the saints and the dolphins.

[@knightfd]

Sat out basically 2 seasons & still rushed for 10,000 yards in his career.

[@fliprodriguez5250]

8:03 😂 Uncle Mack gave enough.

[@smedleybutler8787]

Texas starting getting better recruiting classes after this year. Second favorite college running back of all time. Reggie Bush been number one of course.

[@milkflameee]

One of the most misunderstood human beings ever.

They was top 10 teams every week

[@richardabreu3285]

from college especially used him

[@mytopicsopinions2840]

Ricky is high af

[@LaBanane-rp7my]

Ok keyboard warrior

[@salvatorem1959]

Played minor League baseball with him for the Phillies , the summer before the Heisman victory I think

[@plagues-haze-3987]

Good lies bruh 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sure you did and i smoked with Eminem hey i am from Detroit

[@garonhart6914]

Will we be getting a season- 2009 video?

[@fiesta061000]

I hope so..I'm looking forward to seeing that documentary..The 2008 team was actually better..Nobody will ever know how that BCS championship game vs. Alabama could've gone if Colt McCoy was healthy..To be honest, I thought Alabama was the more complete and better team..

[@larrytischler570]

@@fiesta061000 nobody knows how great the '64 team was either. Texas finished with one loss, to Arkansas, 14 to 13. Alabama was Number 1, and Texas played them in the Orange Bowl. None of the media gave Texas a chance to stand up to 'Bama. Texas was ahead 21-0 at the half. At the end Joe Namath later the NY Jets Super Bowl winning QB tried a sneak to get a first down and keep their drive alive to score, but All American middle line backer Tommy Nobis stopped Namath short. The Longhorns took over and won 21 to 17. Horns were the Jan 1st, 1965 Orange Bowl Champs over #1 Alabama. In those days, the Orange Bowl was almost like the Rose Bowl. Arkansas took all the glory after Texas beat Alabama for them. Like I said, nobody knows how good the '64 Horns were.

[@plagues-haze-3987]

Who care guess what Michigan had the greatest QB of all time cry about it

[@lambdalambdalambda257]

I never knew Ricky Williams played in the minor leagues and was drafted by the Phillies out of high school. I'm still trying to figure out how he blew his $50,000 signing bonus he got in 1995 before he finished college

[@MrEagle808]

Probably weed. Ricky loves the ganja

[@plagues-haze-3987]

I think dobe bought his way into heaven off Ricky

[@rw0050]

*Ricky has one problem that he will never overcome. He will always be in Earl Campbell's Shadow due to the fact Earl is a Texan and Ricky is not. And the fact that Earl had a lot better NFL Career, also with a Texas Team plays into Ricky never leaving the shadow.*

[@krb0123]

Ricky Williams: 10,009 Rushing Yards and 74 TD's in NFL. Earl Campbell: 9,407 Rushing Yards and 74 TD's in NFL.. How exactly did earl have "a lot better NFL career"?? Plus Ricky left the NFL in the prime of his career and a was a role player for the last couple years in his career. *Oh and Ricky had over 2,000 receiving yards in his NFL career when Earl didn't even break 900. Ricky had a much better NFL career, Stats dont lie.

[@leelineberry5821]

because people always talk about the monster that Earl was...you dont hear squat about ricky....plus ricky didnt retire, he quit to smoke dope with the boyz...and mack stinks...he left unc in middle of the night...and came back years later too soft to coach....needs to get out !

[@user-nl1eg8dk5i]

Ricky had better numbers in college and the NFL than Earl Campbell did

[@DaHolyGoat1]

I'm glad the Bevo mascot got a make over because what I seen at 20:56 wasn't it 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@charismatic9904]

Hate to say it but if they dont lose to tech...they face KSU in the title game. KSU wins and goes to play for the natl title. Probably wins and big 12 gets the title that year.

[@paulhudson4254]

God Bless Him: Why is all Texas success History? We ever gonna be back? 🤮😱🤪 I’m tired! Starting to feel like the Chicago Cubs.

[@charismatic9904]

Stop your whining. Im a hurricane fan. We were dominant from the 80s till 2003. Now 18 years of garbage football. Your on about 11.

[@leelineberry5821]

Good back but will never measure up to the Tyler Rose...

[@raytrevino3184]

Where is Vince Young’s statue

[@rw0050]

Vince was robbed of his Heisman. No Heisman, No Statue.

[@DallasDumplingDaddy]

@@rw0050he was not robbed. Reggie Bush was just a more electric player that year and had the stats to also back it up. In the end Vince got his national title that year.

[@lilbru]

Ricky Williams was football in 1998...him not being picked #1 was a travesty

[@richardabreu3285]

man they used and trashed his name

[@duperfan1013]

Too bad he ended up selling his Heisman Trophy 🏆

[@Maradala]

That's because he's a bigger person then you. I hope your making the same comment on Mike Tyson videos in regards to how he handles his championship belts

[@samantha5467]

Selling his trophy..........aaaaaaaannnnd Karen ( sheeeereeesh)
