Classic Tailback - Barry Sanders Oklahoma St. Highlights
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- A compilation of some Barry Sanders' collegiate highlights at Oklahoma State University. The most elusive runner in the history of football, Barry Sanders was so unbelievably dominant in his one Heisman season that he made future NFL MVP Thurman Thomas look like a scrub. His 238.9 yards per game on the ground (not counting the bowl game) in 1988 may never be matched.
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. .

8:10 Barry hands the ball to the ref, who drops it. Barry picks it up and gives it to him. That's Barry.
dquaidman And then his final touchdown carry of his College career he tosses the ball to the ground. Actually his lineman slaps it out of his hand & I think after rushing for 222 yards & 5 TDs he was too exhausted to pick it up. hahaha
All class. Very fortunate growing to see him play..my favorite athlete ever .not only great but wasn't a clown with it. Don't get me wrong I enjoy some characters but too many are over the top
@@nathanielthomas2502 ... I've been a long time Detroit Lions fan... ya I know I know, don't rub it in... and I always said if Barry played for ANY other team he would of had a couple of Super Bowl rings and would of surpassed all other running backs in the history of the game... and in ALL the games I watched him play not once did he ever spike the ball in the end zone or even celebrate after scoring a TD... he would always just hand the ball to the ref and trot off the field... no crazy dancing or antics or in your face celebrations... what a man.
@@carlpen850
My favorite moment from Barry was the last game of the 97 season vs the Jets for a playoff birth for both teams when he get 2000 yards, so humble & the next play he runs for another 40 + yards.incredible. that game had everything, playoff implications..The refs threatening to give the Silverdome crowd a penalty because we were too loud..that should never happen in a football game..lastly poor Reggie Brown
@@carlpen850 im a born and raised Saints fan, and honestly i have fond memories of Barry playing for the Lions. Any time i played Tecmo Superbowl i was playing with the Lions. EVERYTIME. Rodney Peete was the QB and Barry was the running back i would slaughter teams with. Hehe
Barry Sanders is the greatest running back that ever lived I often watch his highlights just to be motivated in life.
I dont think he was the greatest running back but he was certainly the most exciting runner. A great running back also blocks and catches passes. Barry wasn't any better than average at either.
Bo Jackson was getting better every game. Till pop.
Barry sanders is top 3 he would of easily been the best if he didn’t retire so early
@@jamezkpal2361 but what RB would u pay to see play ? For me its Sanders !
@@jamezkpal2361
Stop writing crap.
Barry Sanders is the best RB in college football and the NFL history.
Packers could have taken Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas, or Deion Sanders but we decide to pick one of the biggest busts of all time... Honestly I would just like to have seen Barry on almost any other team than the lions for how much they sucked. Bad line and everyone knew he was getting the ball but still dominated, best back of all time.
We also passed on Jim Brown. Twice.
A J Hey at least that didn't keep you from two SB trips in the 90s
Barry Sanders is a astonishing phenomenal player his human highlights are out of this world but he always know give Barry the ball and get out of the way
i love how hyped the announcers are, gives it even more excitement
So sad we have to see greatness in such a low resolution while kids are flipping bottles of water in 4K. Nonetheless, I still appreciate it when I see it. Great upload. The best back of all time.
I was a school bus driver and one day, a lady on Sunset blvd. near UCLA, on a blind corner, made a U-turn in front of my bus. I can't explain to this day what happened next because I should have crashed, but the bus seemed to have gained some extra-stopping power that day as I carefully slammed on the brakes; no one was hurt. It's as if angels stood in front of my bus and slowed it gently but firmly down.
Watching Barry Sanders reminds me of that. I never said this about anyone, but sometimes Barry Sander's moves don't appear to be human alone; as if his speed and quick moves are attributed to some otherworldly force. There is no one I have ever watched at RB, that I can say that about. Especially during his NFL career.
I know it all sounds weird, but some things just can't be explained with just a simple answer, or our eyes are playing tricks on us.
The college football class of 1988 had the three of the best players of all time with Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders and Troy Aikman, three NFL Hall of Famers. Well, Aikman was really class of 1987 because he transferred to UCLA from OU.
best player of all time
I’ve known him to be a great running back ….I just wished he’d had played for an NFL team that could have supported his ability He was awesome !!!
Amazing ❤️
The GOAT!
GOAT!!
And he came from my school...GO POKES!!!!
Pure animal savagery .....
LOVE IT !!!!!
his 1988 season was simply the greatest individual NCCA football performance of all-time
Amen!
for sure I didn't even realize till right now how insane that season was 237 yards a game
Christopher Adams I agree. He was truly amazing.
Christopher Adams Now tack on that he rarely playex in the 4th quarter
nathan mckenzie +1000.
Football fans always seem to omit this fact. It would have added more hits to his body, but Barry realistically could have had 3K-3500 yards rushing that season.and 50 TDs if he'd played the ENTIRE game.
This is proof that if Barry Sanders had an actual offensive line, he would've dominated. To all the naysayers that says he doesn't follow his blockers or hit the open hole, this video proves otherwise.
IbTusPeter exactly...and if he played all 4 quarters he would've had 4,000 yards lol
What’s crazy is even with that line, look how many times he was hit in the backfield and still got positive yards. Defenses knew it was going to him and even when they read it he gained yards
@IbTusPeter
The Barry "not following his blockers line" is lame.
If you give Barry a Hole, he instantly has 5-10 yards. Emmit Smith would have 2-5.
He always had an offensive line. Why do you guys keep saying this? You guys are weirdos.
I mean, he still dominated with a sub par o line lol
GOAT in NCAA and NFL.
THE GREATEST PURE RUNNING BACK TO EVER TOUCH THE PILL.
absolutely
Naw Oj was the best pure running back. Sanders couldn't touch him in his prime. Look at his video.
@@dapdaddy17 oj definitely underrated. I feel like he never gets brought up in best rb discussions. Barry's the goat though
@@dapdaddy17 naw bruh o j was a beast and if it wasn't for the whole murder situation he would get brought up more . Barry Sanders was different. 10 yrs 10 pro bowls 10 all pro seasons on a team where he was THE primary target for the defense.. should have at least 30 more touchdowns if it wasnt for those dumb ass coordinators taking him out inside the 5..
@@cwagsr7189 Man you don't see those conditions Oj and everybody else had to play in. The fields were like concrete. My grand daddy always said those were the times you had yo be a real man to play football. Barry great but he's no oj. The tape never lies my brother. That shit was ruff, no domes just concrete fields.
I was at OSU at the time and I've met Barry. There are not enough superlatives to describe him. Like trying to tackle water.
Tracey Stevens we had two of the greatest in history in the same backfield... Thurman & Barry. GO POKES!!!
Barry wasn't a running back, he was a maestro.
great description
Pretty sure that was Barry White whos the maestro. lol jk
Barry Sanders is the GOAT
There have been bigger running backs. There have been faster running backs. There has never been a running back that was more fun to watch. He was...excitement.
I played Tecmo Super Bowl and played as the Detroit lions and I made it to the Super Bowl, he had 12 td’s and 1500 yards in the game.
Can you imagine having Thurman Thomas as your starting tailback and his backup is Barry??
Best running back in the history of football! both in college and in the NFL.
Sanders was so dominant in college that when he was behind Thurman Thomas, Barry Switzer told his players not to injure Thomas because they didn't want to face his backup Barry Sanders who was a kick returner then. Both Thomas and Sanders are in the NFL HOF. This is a description for that 1988 season: "but it all came together in 1988, when he put together the single-greatest individual season in college football history: 2,628 rushing yards (2,850 if you count his bowl game), 515 kick/punt return yards and 39 total touchdowns (44 with the bowl). That included four 300-yard games and seven 200-yard games. Players have tried to match those stats in more games per season, but those marks - like Sanders himself - may never be brought down."
I am glad I was alive to witness such a great great running back.... and pro football Emmitt Smith should thank God that Barry Sanders retired early or he would never have the NFL rushing record Barry would have
John Manning Emmit had an O-line. 20+ years later the Fords still cant put together an offensive line
John Manning. You are so right
Jeremy B Barry had an O-line too. And Emmitt had that good one for like 2 or 3 years and he played like 15
Jeremy B true dat lol
John Manning no Barry had an o-line. Maybe not now, but back in Barry’s days, it wasn’t as bad as everyone says it was
This is a glimpse of the dominance of Barry Sanders with a good offensive line.
he was unbelievable....gayle sayers, barry and bo are the most talented runners in history
Eric Dickerson ran like a deer. He and Tony Dorsett were the prettiest, pure runners in NFL history, in my opinion.
arguably the greatest running back of all time. definitely the most exciting..
The best moves ever. I wouldn't call him the best ever bc he didn't block and his pass catching was mediocre and in the pro's bc he never used his power they took him out in the red zone & goal line a lot. I put at least 10 backs ahead of him bc of this. But you must give credit where it's due, he easily had the best moves ever, hands down!
@@BreuckelensFinest I always felt he got a bad rap about the short yardage situations. Only Ross really took him out at the goal line/short yardage situations & it was towards the end of his career so people remember that. Before that he was used in Ok St. & in Detroit in short yards all the time & he was fine.
@@BreuckelensFinestyou are a fool.
@@BreuckelensFinest 10 backs ahead of him could possibly be the dumbest statement ever, it actually hurt me to read that.
Best part is @2:58 when he low key goes from near full speed to complete stop in literally one step.
dude put up video game numbers in 1988..
Two most impressive things was that #8 trully actually from behind caught up and tackled Barry ?! The DB kind of had track form AND
Mike Gundy catching that non wide open RB pass by Barry ?! Ok is that Mike “ 🗣im a man , I’m 40 pick on ME !” Gundy ????
Lol is that really him out there , he is Barry’s we ?
Depending on whom you ask generation wise you'll hear Jim Brown (worthy), Walter Payton(worthy) as the greatest RB ever. IMHO as a 42 year old Barry's the G.O.A.T
Makes sense i didn’t get to see any of them I’m 31, LT is still the best I’ve ever seen play
The goat , imagine if he played every game until the end and the bowl games counted stats
THE GOAT
You damn right he's the GOAT ! Lol
The run against #2 Nebraska at the 3:57 mark is EVERYTHING!!
I'm from Nebraska and sent that to everyone i know, what an insane run
@@allbaugh04 I think Mike Rozier was the RB for the Huskers in that game? He was a beast.
The defender making first contact can never get in proper position to effectively wrap up tackle. It meant he broke a ton of tackles despite not being a bruiser.
Some of these teams put all 11 players in the box, and it still didn't matter.
Barry Sanders is by far the most amazing athlete I have ever seen
His stats in his junior year were unreal.
1:00- who let the dog out?
best RB is history No one like Barry
His dead leg cuts are plenty vicious
At 4:01 THREE Huskers hit him and Barry just bounces back off of them, and continues to run for a bunch more yards. He's not really human.
For those that are unaware, Barry Sanders didn’t start at tailback until his junior year because he was backup to Thurman Thomas. Imagine being a college that produced back-to-back seasons with NFL HOF running backs. Insane.
This man is in the Top 3 all~time! Eric Dickerson and Earl Campbell........Barry put up the BEST #'S ever!
The #10 I put next to Sander's name in the title isn't his ranking, it's simply shows that it's the tenth video in the series that I've made.
That's ok.... we all know Barry was the best EVER!!!!!
Best ever at what?
football joe running back
The greatest RB in history was basically a midget
size doesn't mean sh*t if you got the moves
White Wolf not sure where those measurements came from but they're a little off, he was listed at 5'8" 203lbs for most of his career
@@mitchellkalina8191 which is not much smaller than Emmitt or Walter
@@mitchellkalina8191
Yeah. I always knew him as 5'8", 207 lbs, which is not far off what you said. Plenty stocky. Plus, he had explosion and hops.
At 5:41 Barry takes the exactly same tackle that ended Bo Jackson's career. Everything was identical about that play.
Josh Potts Bo was stronger so he pulled his leg
People often forget how strong Barry was though... he power cleaned more than anyone on the entire team (as a 20 yr old Junior).
good eye really got yanked.
I personally think he was the greatest college player ever, Bo is right there and Jim Brown is the same category
With football in hand, Barry Sanders is the greatest runner to ever step on a football field.
I like how Bob Barry senior was doing the commentary. Great broadcaster.
Amazing. I grew up in Detroit and got see him many times--we were lucky. One thing people forget is how he rarely got injured. He was like the Lebron of the NFL in that sense, ha.
More like MJ
Hard to get injured, when you can't get cleanly hit. LOL
I have no doubt that Mr. Sanders retired only on account of his not wanting to break Walter Payton's at the time, all time leading rushing record. He is that kinda man. Who is the most humble man to ever step on the gridiron. I just love, respect and admire him for always handing the football to the refs after everytime he had touched the ball. Thank you Mr. Sanders for all the excitement, grace, and spectacular moments that you brought to the game. God bless you always!!
Look at those leaps at the goal line & proves my point he should have been in the game inside the 5 yard line all those years with the lions. He would have had another 75 TD's
Sanders is the GOAT and I don't care if anyone disagrees.
Emmitt said it best, he's out there making y'all look like fools.
2:00 William Thomas was balling lol. He spoke at my school back in the day when he played for the eagles. Pretty good linebacker
Was William Thomas a safety in college?? Very solid pro OLBer. Kind of underrated in the pros.
U deserve more views
I agree
Nathaline Malcolm u are so beautiful
Jake Depriest I'm even more beautiful! Hahaha
Jake Depriest Duhhhh!
I stopped this within the first minute cuz dude said Barry scores a touchdown once every nine touches. That is just unreal
Barry Sanders, NFL Hall of Famer, respect ❤.
I created Barry for this season.
They had Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders on the same team. 2 NFL hall of famers. Thats insane.
Barry Sanders 1988 at Oklahoma State was the greatest single season performance of anybody in collegiate or professional football history. 2628. 7.6 yards per carry. Almost 40 total touchdowns on the ground (37 rushing + 2 returning)
The OSU-NEB footage was bittersweet, I'm a husker, but also an osu alumni. But watching it just reminds me of what a true blackshirt defense looks like, look at how fast they responded and attacked!! 🔶️🌽🔴
The 1988 Nebraska game was the only game that season that Oklahoma State didn't lead at any point of the game.
No one before or since had such a strong combination of all the 4 necessities of a RB (agility, power, vision, and patience). Please notice I did not mention speed, as it is an overrated attribute.
Thanks for posting this. Great to see Barry Sanders' highlights at real speed vs. all the NFL ones that are like at 80% speed. They show the true greatness of his skills. Nebraska and Oklahoma were two 80s college football powerhouses, so that shows he wasn't playing cupcake competition. I remember seeing him play that game against Oklahoma live, specifically the play (@5:39) where he dodged the guy who tried to take out his legs on the long run and then got caught. I was like "Omg what did I just see?!?" when he sidestepped the dude came flying up and he totally avoided him with no loss of speed. :D
It's a shame that more people don't post real0time highlights like this for NFL legends.
I have yet to see a non-Barry Sanders or Gale Sayers back with that ability to cut and juke without losing speed. It's crazy to watch. Even his short runs were breathtaking.
PS: I wish that someone would've uploaded every game from that season. This video would be an hour long if that was the case.
No kidding! Why does NFL films do that? It diminishes great plays.
B. Sanders is the only Back in HX that could run behind a sub par line.
ERIEKE TROY The OSU OL in 87 & 88 were two of the best in college football.
That line is not sub par.If you watch the o line blocking in this video they dominating getting up field and tacking out linebackers.
The best. Period
We must not forget that he left college after his junior year to enter the draft,just imagine what he would have accomplished his senior year.
EVERYONE got faked-out, by the QB at @4:45, even the cameraman, Lol.
Gregz0r that happens all the time
Nope you are wrong that was just Barry pulling his houdini move.
Mike Gundy, OSU’s head coach & one of the winningest coaches in BIG XII history.
When he was in college I said the college world should be thankful Tom Osbourne didn't get him to Lincoln.
Omg...🙏
@@cojack636 know the miami hurricanes from 85-88. Jimmy johnson said he mess up. He would have played with vinny Micheal. Brain blades and we were supposed to get Derek thomas
The greatest college sport athlete of all time
When they get to the parts in Barry's highlight reel that he's running against my Sooners, I just quickly fast forward to get to the next team.
People always said "imagine the yardage Barry would have if he had an Offensive Line like the Cowboys!" Well, we don't have to imagine. He ran behind one Hell of an Offensive line with the OSU Cowboys. 2628 yards in 11 games?! Just sick! 🏈
At 3:47 it looks like he's levitating over the defenders! Amazing.
Almost spooky to think he got even better. Then the spooky turned to nightmare as he end up in DET..still the greatest RB ever for me
the quickest 20 yds in history of mankind. LOL
Freak of nature is the only way to explain it..
Thank you Barry for the many years we were able to watch you. Such a gifted athlete and a humble person. Alot of todays players should take notes from you on how to carry themselves on and off field
*BARRY SANDERS WAS THE BEST RB IN FOOTBALL HISTORY.*
The GOAT 🐐
scores every 9 times he touches the ball??? that is an astonishing stat right there
He's not the only back to have that level of proficiency. But it is a jawdropping stat.
Thanks for the reply. I would still love to get a copy on DVD. I have a ton of his Lions games, and would be more than willing to work some trade out if it is doable.Thanks Phil
This young man has a brilliant career ahead of him. Hopefully he doesn't get drafted by a crap franchise 😬
Whoa you can tell by watching the game was more physical back then, they are mauling each other
It's almost a surprise when he gets tackled.
Anyone come here because of the ESPN article?
There will never be another football player more exciting to watch.
Barry sanders is the greatest college player ever yes archie griffin won back to back Heismans but barry was a backup to thurman thomas early in his career barry would've won back to back heisman trophies and hold every record possible at running back
Lucky to have watched that 88 season when I was a kid. Sanders was mind blowing.
Class.......
Ac
According to the Bible, in Exodus I think, what made Moses so special to God, was that he was the most humble man in the world. Barry as great as he was, college or pro, he remained humble. Even knowing that by record he was the best.
3:06 juke form hell.
Barry is simply the best, period.
Barry was a one year starter. Barry was the back up THURMAN THOMAS another hall of famer who we all knew played for the Bills. Imagined if Barry was a 3 year starter. He would break every single college rushing record if that happened
He set all those records in an 11 game season and the NCAA won't count his bowl game stats since they decreed that only bowl games post the late 90's get to be counted. Now you have guys playing up to 15 games in a season and STILL no one has been able to catch his yardage record.
Montee Ball did catch him for rushing TDs, but it took 14 games. Counting Sanders' bowl game against Wyoming - which is only logical - he still holds the single season TD record, too.
Don’t forget Barry had Thurman Thomas as his backfield mate early in his career.
Barry is the greatest RB of all time bar none. Anyone who was born after 1980 and didn’t witness his greatness from mid eighties to mid 90s stfu. You are just too young to know the truth.
Just think about how much more nimble and faster he would be with today's equipment 😮. That older style stuff was bulky and gave less range of motion than the lighter stuff the NFL has today. 30 years too soon.
The only 2000 yard season Barry had in the NFL was with a fullback…The fact that Detroit didn’t realize that until it was too late is just embarrassing
