Hard to believe that Vince Young is #10. He was good, but was he THAT good? Some of the names that were lower in the rankings behind him is one of the reasons I question his rank in the poll: especially Earl Campbell, Archie Griffin, and Jim Brown.

Well, ya know! What can I say. I'm sure Dan is just as stunned as we are.

Shouldn't maybe Ricky Williams be higher on the list? He only won the Heisman not to mention has the all time rushing yards title.

Yeah the guys NFL career has seemed to go up in a puff of smoke but he was pretty darn good at Texas.

No. 1 is Red Grange. The Galloping Ghost from Illinois.

Actually, Ron Dayne broke his record the very next year.

if bush is on the list at 25, why cant young be on that list and be higher...i think what he did in those rose bowls were very impressive, granted, he only beat OU once but still he had a very impressive career and changed how offenses use QBs

What VY did in his 2 years of starting - pretty amazing considering he had that success while being a functional illiterate
