Greatest running back forever

[@jwhit3849]

There are not many like Hershel and thank God we had/have him.

[@WilsonHarpe]

Yes indeed. The greatest running back ever.

[@greganderson1445]

That was also spectacular because Walker was playing injured on artificial turf. That stuff was hard as a rock!

[@hoppy5359]

Herschel should have won at least 2 Heismans

[@ufcman8015]

Yes he should have won it as a freshman over George Rogers.

By the fourth quarter, you can see Herschel winches in pain every time somebody would pat him on that shoulder

[@vincecallagher7636]

What is this, he’s not winning the vote, and this won’t help

[@bassfishingfreak6602]

[@ChandlerTingle]

Bass Fishing Freak nope

[@randyramer7988]

That whole1980 team was great but Herschel was a man among boys for sure.

[@ufcman8015]

Bo was a better athlete but Herschel was a better RB

[@NBHLTS]

Oh god.. the last time Georgia won a natty. Thank God for St Nick or the SEC would be trash.
