I was in 9th grade when Marshall had this amazing season. In Nebraska i remember brother and I staying up late sometimes to watch the later west coast start time. It was so exciting. This dude was such an outstanding athlete. His breakaway speed and his sneaky in your face and through you power. Dude was soooo freaking awesome. Im kind of in awe just remembering how it felt to watch him back then. Thanks Marshall your one of my favs of all time.
Why can't Marshall just be the best ever? Too many people are quick to say unequivocally that Barry Sanders is the best ever when he's not. Marshall was a much better & complete back than Barry Sanders. The Lions would take Sanders out on 3rd down & red zone situations. How can you be the greatest back ever when these are the facts. Sanders also had the most minus yards in history bc of his running style. He would put his team in bad situations bc he was too East West style of running. Great highlights but terrible for his team. Marshall was more explosive & ended his runs really strong. So say it and say it loud, MARSHALL FAULK THE GREATEST RB OF ALL TIME!
@@kenwell3498 These are the greatest of all time bc of their complete versatility: 1. Walter Payton 2. Marcus Allen 3. Roger Craig 4. Marshall Faulk 5. Adrian Peterson 6. LaDainian Tomlinson 7. Jim Brown 8. Tony Dorsett 9. Eric Dickerson 10. Earl Campbell
@@biggalaxy9102 they took Barry out because that o line was trash he literally had to work for every yard name one o lineman on that team that was good or even decent for that matter
I’m from San Diego and saw Marshall out and about a few times and the thing that stood out to me is that he doesn’t look physically intimidating, not that tall, isn’t ripped up. But put a football in that man’s hands and he is a threat to score every time. He could just flat out play. So glad I was able to watch one of the all time greats in person
No doubt. He never had what anyone would consider great muscle tone. I mean, if it were just a pickup game in the park and Marshall had his shirt off, you would think, " I can take this guy". Nope.
+PockyCandy unfortunately no not enough to make a legit vid him and jerry rice college highlights are damn near impossible due to small schools not getting exposure back then only the big names.
***** They both had the dilemma of playing for a small college out in the middle of nowhere Mississippi. Heck, I even ran into this problem trying to find Brett Favre footage, and I'd say USM is a much bigger school than either one of those schools.
Faulk never played a full season either year in college , clearly he was a front runner but I think one year he played in 7 games, cant remember how many the next... but he was absolutely "addicting" to watch... Kid would play 7 games but wind up with well over 1400 uyards..half if not more of those 300+ yards rushing , it was insane
Gino Torreta, from Miami, who I think wasn't even drafted. I'm a Miami fan. Faulk got robbed because they weren't on TV. But I was happy to see his last laugh for sure. Faulk is Immortal.
he ran for over 300+ yards in almost half of his games... I remember against Hawaii.. I think he ran for 300+ that year during that time in 3 out of 4 games right around that part of the schedule ... Insane
Used to hate when SDSU/Faulk & TCU/LaDanian Tomlinson used to play Hawaii. Faulk had the better straight-line speed, able to cut/stop on a dime & better hands than LT. And BOTH are NFL HOF'ers!
I went to SDSU and saw the 386 yard game against UOP in person. He only played like 3 quarters. Probably woulda had well over 400 yards if he played the whole game and like 9 TD's. lol
Me too bro !! 93-96 !! I was good friends with #73 Dan Nielson & the o line would always stop by my sunset cliff beach house .. They would always talk about blocking for him was amazing for them ! The o line had so many good stories about what he would do at practices sometimes lol .. I had a place btm of 55th street b4 I got OB spot not to far from delta upsilon ( the ducks) lol. Aloha & nice to see an old classmate ! Go aztecs
The best All Around RB I ever seen. This guy could run with the best of them, pass block with the best of them, and his receiving skills from the RB position still haven't been duplicated. Faulk could've been a Pro Bowl some may argue HOF receiver if he wanted to.
I would say that between LT and Faulk, whom I consider the two best all-around backs I've ever watched, Faulk was the slightly better receiver and LT was the slightly better pure runner. But they were both excellent in both respects, both could pass block, and both were consummate professionals and team guys.
He was so dominant that everyone expected something special from him in the NFL. It wasn't until '99 that he lived up to the promise... but it was worth the wait!
@@woozie___ He had an awesome rookie season but had injury problems until 1998. Then had those legendary 3 seasons at St. Louis, as a part of the "Greatest Show on Turf". His 3 season run is maybe the best I've ever seen from any running back.
@@DanielSong39 ohhh ok I didn't realize, I had just always known about his rookie year but didn't know the rest of the story in Indy. I was a little kid just falling in love with the game during the Greatest Show on Turf era and he quickly became my favorite back
I made this one after you recommended it to me. So thanks for the suggestion, cause I had a ton of fun making this video. He was a better and tougher version of Reggie Bush (come at me, USC fans!).
Brandon Jones I got a Fred Taylor video completed (dude could make some unreal cuts for a guy who weighed almost 230 pounds) that will be released during the fall semester, I'm iffy on making a Warrick Dunn video (I hate the Seminoles despite being a MS State fan who has no relation to anything FSU), and I'll eventually get around to making a Marshall's cousin's video because I know an LSU fan who would like that video. Got any other suggestions? I'm all ears!
+PockyCandy oh wow...how can you hate warrick dunn tho! hahaha...i have a few suggestions not huge names but good college backs...Byron hanspard,troy davis of iowa state was good, ricky watters had good games,ron dayne...tiki barber was a beast too.... i live college football i could go on and on once again i apperciate your work! thank you
Brandon Jones I had to google a few of those names, and I take it that you are a fan of the 90's tailbacks? Also, Warrick Dunn is a great guy, but I still hate his team.
I still can’t believe a guy his size, could be so tough at that position. It’s no secret that he’s getting the ball on every play. Yet, he is getting first downs and touch downs. One of the best ever!
When Faulk was playing at SDSU a good friend of mine who is a big college football fan showed me some of his game footage and told me I was looking at a future NFL hall of famer. At the time I was like "Yeah, whatever" . Guess he knew what he was talking about.
Hey bro ! We're you friends with #73 Dan Nielson ?? You remember me ? The OB Sunset cliffs guy with the Rotweillers and had that beach house with the big ole dreadlocks lol.. Dan would stop by all the time and would bring a handful of Aztec football players ? It's been 30 years dang near but your picture looks familiar for sure. Just wanted to say hi and I never forgot how much I would enjoy to be included with you guys and I appreciate the memories from those times ! Aloha
If you ever talk to Dan Nielson #73 o line Center .. Please make sure to tell him JT from OB is his friend for life and I miss him stopping by like he always used to do.. Danny was a true friend to me and I was very proud of that. Aloha
Fantastic post! He is arguably one of the top three to play the position... I actually played against him the first game of the 1993 season, SDSU vs CSUN. I think he rushed for 172 against us that game.
He had 5,562 yards in 3 years. He would've broke 7,000 yards ears if he played Sr. Year. The ncaa record is like 6,600 or something an only a handful of players ever even broke 6,000
Faulk's sophomore year it was him, Garrison Hearst, and Marvin Jones who all three were incredibly dominant that year and it went to Gino Toretta who had a decent year but nothing special. Three other guys were far more deserving that year.
Watch...his...feet! Rewind the tape and just...watch...his feet. I don’t know if any other running back had the mechanics, acceleration, and footwork. His feet looked like they landed on a surface that was just above the ground.” Somehow, he is left out of the G.O.A.T conversation.
@@streamfan6825 Nah he absolutely was. Name us a RB besides Walter Payton, Marcus Allen & Roger Craig that could do it all? Don't you dare mention Barry Sanders. BS could only run. He had mediocre hands and was a horrible blocker. We are talking all around football player RB. Emmitt Smith is another one that was all around great.
@@BreuckelensFinest ha ha hell no that would be rediculous... Barry was a great "runner"... but ok lets start with,... (drum roll) Thurman Thomas..if your talking all purpose backs now.. I could go on.. If your seriously talking APB's bud... theres been quite a few that were AS good... Chuck Muncie.. Darren Nelson...even Bettis was a great APB... Herschell Walker was a really good APB.. again if your saying finest running back and saying APB's..theres a few man... Faulk lacked durability that was a big thing with him... he was GREAT tho Ill give you that,..In college he was a absolute JOY to watch..
@@BreuckelensFinest and I Totally agree with what evryone saying here.. Faulk DID deserve a Heismen... absolutely... Tony Dorsett another.. Faulk doesnt "seperate" himself from these players likie you say he did.. but he certainly joins them
I watched the BYU game with my brothers friend, it was mesmerizing. Dude had the fluidity of Eric Dickerson, who was much bigger, the balance of Walter Payton and the hands of Chuck Foreman.
He was amazing. Back when you had to have ESPN to see many Pac-12 and Mountain West games. As you see, Marshall was electric. Only Bettis and The Rocket did I enjoy watching more.
Marshall Faulk is definitely the #2 GOAT. Barry Sanders #1, Marshall Faulk #2. I've said that for a very long time. Barry was the once in a lifetime on the ground, no doubt about that. But Marshall Faulk was the most balanced weaponized running back of all time. Nobody ever could do as much as he could do, with devastating precision. Marshall Faulk could do it all. He was the Swiss Army Knife of the football game. The greatest most loaded running back I have ever seen.
thats because Nebraska literally ONLY had 5 star running backs every year during that time.. Nebraska was a MUCH different team then... they could afford it.. Faulk couldnt remain injury free in conference he DID play in... he would have gotten eaten up in Big 8 at the time... while I have NO doubt still busting defenses there for 200+ easy
A football legend. One of the most amazing college players ever. Gino Toretta winning the Heisman over Faulk was a gd travesty; I knew it then and I know it now. Gino toretta? WTF
It's interesting. I just finished watching Reggie Bush highlights at USC. Bush was this huge media story, but Faulk--doing even more spectacular things on the field--was totally off the media's radar. The NFL scouts knew about Faulk, however, and he, like Bush, he was picked #2 in the draft. The difference: Faulk 19,190 total career yards, Bush 9,088 career yards. Faulk a Hall-of-Famer, Bush a college superstar who had a couple of nice years in the NFL, and that's it. The NCAA hype-machine fooled everybody....
Faulk was such a beats at SDSU which was awesome because he was doing it at a smaller school and not at Notre Dame, Nebraska, Miami or Ohio State. He also didnt have some greek god physique, he looked kinda soft and not rock hard if that makes any sense. But ll he did was explode and chew up yardage.
Every time someone bring up Reggie Bush. I always respond with Marshall was the best all purpose back I've ever seen. I understand it's a matter of opinion. But, I always tell people, when they bring up Bush; you better see Faulk. LaDainian Tomlinson was a beast as well. So was Darren McFadden.
I remember the first time I seen or heard of Marshall. I just kept on seeing commercials of his highlights & reminded thinking, who is this guy? San Diego State wtf? 🤣😂
AJ mccarron was more than a game manager and his success so far in the nfl is proof of that....good job with this channel btw love it keep it coming!!!
Marshall should of won the Heisman YES i watched him play live at SDSU ! Gino Toretta lol didn't do shit after his college career ! Marshall went on to be one of the best NFL running backs ever !
The fact he didn't win a Heisman shows how partial the award is, and how it's not about the "Best Player".. Smh....They invalidate that award regularly with "popular picks", and not actual best players. Smh....
Watching Marshall do his thing was a sight to behold
He was a one man wrecking crew! This team outside of Marshall Faulk was not that good. He carried that team.
I was in 9th grade when Marshall had this amazing season. In Nebraska i remember brother and I staying up late sometimes to watch the later west coast start time. It was so exciting.

I think out of all RBs I've seen in football history i like his running motion the best. He's truly skilled.
He always looked like he was running at full-speed. Personally, I liked the way Curt Warner ran.
+PockyCandy yea Kurt is definitely a back that flew under the radar. My 2nd favorite is "Sweetness" he literally looks like he could run on water.

Tomlinson was pretty good all-around player too, but I agree with what you're saying. Faulk is what Reggie Bush was supposed to be coming out of USC.
+PockyCandy I agree LT was a beast and he's right there with Faulk.
I would say that between LT and Faulk, whom I consider the two best all-around backs I've ever watched, Faulk was the slightly better receiver and LT was the slightly better pure runner. But they were both excellent in both respects, both could pass block, and both were consummate professionals and team guys.
PockyCandy you are right
throw Priest Holmes in there
That counter play is murder
if Faulk had went to USC, Oklahoma, Nebraska or Texas, he would have won the Heisman easily.
John Manning Just saw "A Football Life". My college, Texas A&M, recruited Faulk... but as a DB. D'oh!
And make any of those teams a likely national champion!
If he had just remained healthy in college he would have won it... he was throwing up "EA Sports numbers" in college
The teams that the voters favor over everybody.

Faulk was such a beats at SDSU which was awesome because he was doing it at a smaller school and not at Notre Dame, Nebraska, Miami or Ohio State. He also didnt have some greek god physique, he looked kinda soft and not rock hard if that makes any sense. But ll he did was explode and chew up yardage.
Great videos how do you not have more subs
You Couldn't Show ANY of His LONG Touchdown Runs? He Had PLENTY Of Them.
I showed his long runs against Pacific and USC. I didn't exactly have a ton of games or footage available to work with.
Thanks cuzzo
The Marshall!!
Awesome video. Any clips of Ladanian Tomlinson at TCU?
This guy through the Best hurricane defense ever. His coach was so smart, Faulk is my best player, give him the ball. Period.
That was a really talented Cane defense Faulk gashed but it wasn't the best one ever.
@@Ginga I believe the 89 Team had the best defense
Every time someone bring up Reggie Bush. I always respond with Marshall was the best all purpose back I've ever seen. I understand it's a matter of opinion. But, I always tell people, when they bring up Bush; you better see Faulk. LaDainian Tomlinson was a beast as well. So was Darren McFadden.
I'm in that video! So fun!!
Had the pleasure of playing against him.
I did as well in 93... He was a monster.
We whooped them 45-25, Go Cal! He was sweet though.
I remember the first time I seen or heard of Marshall. I just kept on seeing commercials of his highlights & reminded thinking, who is this guy? San Diego State wtf? 🤣😂
He's the reason I wore #28
He was robbed of the Heisman
He lost to the nineties poor-man's version of AJ McCarron because of Lee Corso's man-crush on Gino Torretta.
You're right, it was a robbery.
AJ mccarron was more than a game manager and his success so far in the nfl is proof of that....good job with this channel btw love it keep it coming!!!
juice4080 That's why I added the "poor man's" part. I adored AJ McCarron when he played for the Tide.
I think he's the best RB ever!
Pock, please do a COREY DILLON video, his college career lasted maybe, ummmm, 7-8 games including 222yd in the first QUARTER vs. San Jose State!!!
I can't find any footage from that season.
+PockyCandy how about Lorenzo White at Michigan State? He was Nice!!!
Kendrick Jones Funny that you mention Lo White, since I'm dropping his video next week.
New Orleans Legend!
The 1st time I seen him play was vs USC unbelievable he was like tecno bowl bo Jackson lol 😂
Marshall Faulk top 5 nfl RB all time
You can have Barry Sanders the 1 trick pony that they took out on 3rd down & red zone situations & I'll take Marshall Faulk! He could do it all.
All of New Orleans was mad at LSU for wanting to make Marshall Faulk a DB instead of a RB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lee Hacksaw Hamilton!
Marshall should of won the Heisman YES i watched him play live at SDSU ! Gino Toretta lol didn't do shit after his college career ! Marshall went on to be one of the best NFL running backs ever !
Did SDSU used to play at Jack Murphy Stadium?
yes
The fact he didn't win a Heisman shows how partial the award is, and how it's not about the "Best Player".. Smh....They invalidate that award regularly with "popular picks", and not actual best players. Smh....
You have to do Adrian Peterson
He wanted to go to Miami. Miami said he was too small
no they tried to recruit him as a DB
Every time I hear the name Geno Toretta (spelling?) I get pissed off! The 1992 Heisman winner had to be Marshall Faulk!!
Faulk is my top 2. Jim brown marshall fault. Dude was super fast.
Dubbed the term Super Frosh
