Dick Butkus, Lawrence Taylor, Charlie Ward, Jim Thorpe, Jim Brown, Walter Payton, Marcus Allen, etc.

What no Marshall Faulk clips?

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
You forgot Michael Vick.
The most dominant college player that anybody has ever witnessed. He even combined his absurd athleticism with flawless mechanics en route to leading the nation in passing.

...I didn't forget Michael Vick, remember this TOMMIE FRAZIER WAS BETTER....better passing, better running, better at everything the only reason he didn't make it in the NFL was because he had blood clots in his legs and had to stop football altogether

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
What no Paul Posluszny?
The leading tackler in LBer U history,the guy HOFer Jack Ham called the greatest linebacker in Penn State history,the first junior captain since 1968,and only the second player in school history to win both the Butkus,and Bednarik award?
Remember,guns dont kill people,Paul Posluszny does

I liked Tommie Frazier, but lets get real. He was not better than Michael Vick. While the blood clots were true. Frazier was never considered a first round draft pick anyway. Much less be the first player picked overall like Vick. Defenses were set up to try and stop Vick. But they couldn't do that with Frazier cuz they had Lawrence Phillips and Ahman Green to deal with. Frazier was great. But he was not greater than Vick.

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
Tommie Frazier was a good passer and an extremely good runner....he was before Black QB's were the norm and probably would have been asked to play WR or something but he was a damned good ball player and IMO he was better than Vick especially in college....all that stuff Vick did Frazier did better.
And I honestly don't care what color a person is it has no bearing on how you will do at a position....it's the same with white guys and basketball, I could make a team of all white guys past or present and they would stomp pretty much anyone....if you can play everything else shouldn't matter and by everything else I mean skin color religion etc .....killing dogs still matters though
I never saw Vick plow through one of the University of Florida's best teams ever for a 75 yard touchdown run after breaking like 50 tackles.
Yes Michael Vick is/was good and he was good in college too but don't tell me he did it all by himself, they had a damn fine running back in Lee Suggs who didn't pan out as a pro but hey neither did Lawrence Phillips.
Steve McNair was fucking awesome in college too bad he didn't do it on the level the other guys did but he proved himself as a pro.....same with Culpepper

You must not of watched Virginia Tech's loss to Florida State in the championship game. Florida State barely held Vick off. Who was not even a junior

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
......Yeah I saw it, it just wasn't as impressive.
I guess I may be a bit biased due to the fact Vick ended his own career by being an ignorant bastard and Frazier's career was ended just by bad luck.
Frazier was the starting QB for 3 National Championship games and won 2 of them vs Miami (which had Warren Sapp AND Ray Lewis on defense) and vs Florida (which touted Danny Wurfle and Fred Taylor on their high powered offense). He was named MVP in ALL THREE OF HIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP STARTS!!!
Tommie Frazier
Record as starter: 33-3 (91.7%)
Passing: 250-509 (49.1%), 4,003 yards, 47 TD, 18 INT
Rushing: 386 carries, 2,263 yards (5.9 ypc), 36 TD
Senior stats (Heisman Trophy runner-up): 98-177 (55.4%), 1,467 yards, 18 TD, 6 INT
113 carries, 803 yards (7.1 ypc), 16 TD

Yet your still biased enough to say he was a better passer than Vick. I expected more from you Lyle

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
Marcus Allen. Nothing more be said other than I can't believe anybody mentioned him.

Frazier was the perfect fit for the option, and he was as good an option quarterback as college ever saw, nonetheless, he was only an option quarterback. Vick couldn't throw for sh!t in the NFL but in Beamer's system his arm was just as dangerous as his legs. Let's not forget Vick was 90% of the reason VT got to the BCS title game his freshman year, whereas Frazier was surrounded by what many argue was the greatest college team of all time(and what is undisputedly proclaimed the best offensive line in history). On a different note, I'd put Vince Young as the greatest college QB of all time for the simple fact that in college, winning and being able to lead a team is just as, if not more important than putting up huge numbers, which is why I don't see a Ty Detmer or Colt Brennan as among the all time greats.

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
i think tommy frazier better than vick no doubt vick can throw a bullet
but tommy made his teamrush for 3oo plus rushing yards he use to blowout teams see against florida
he won games
-
Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
Tommie Frazier was better than Vick.....Frazier won national championships, Vick only got there he never won and don't give me the "he didn't have a good team around him" excuse....Vick had good running backs and argueably the best special teams game in college football history.
If Tommie didn't have those blood clots he would have been a very good pro football player either at running back, wide reciever or quarterback. IMO he was very underrated as a passer

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
Roger Staubach, played for Navy then went into the Navy for several years and still came out to become one of the greatest qb's ever.

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
Staubach was a great, CC for the mention

Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
This is not even close, Reggie Bush by far, the fucker averaged 9 yards a carry his junior year at USC which not even the great Barry Sanders did (Nor anyone else) you guy's are crazy.
-
Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
Bush had Lendale White to do the heavy lifting, Barry did it by himself!

I don't know what heavy lifting you are talking about, if White was never their Bush would have run for alot more yards as well as alot more touchdown's
-
Re: Great College Football Players of All-Time
...had Bush had more carries the more apt he would be to get hurt.
He was a great college football player but not better than Barry and that is being proven right now
