Herschel Walker 1st, John Elway 2nd, Eric Dickerson 3rd
IMO, Eric’s college career certainly surpassed Elway’s.
Just looked up the stats
Herschel 335 attempts / 1,752 yards / 16 TDs
Eric 232 attempts / 1,617 yards / 17 TDs
Considering Craig James had almost 1,146 yards from scrimmage and 7 TDs - I am kind of surprised that Dickerson's yards per play did not impact voters. Dickerson finished third and it wasnt even close.
Of course the voters were probably considering the previous season when Walker lost with even better stats (Marcus Allen won that year).
