"Those two young men gave me a heart stop every time they touched the ball" Bear Bryant in an interview after the 1979 Iron Bowl (in reference to Cribbs and Brooks). Saw them from the stands in 1979, Brooks in 1980 and a young Freshman Bo Jackson in 1982. I remember it like yesterday.
When I got to Auburn in 79, Brooks and Cribbs were amazing. Over 1000 yards each. Meanwhile, Andrews was wowing the NFL with the Falcons. Great memories from 18-year-old me.

Great memories from 18-year-old me.
1979 was the first season I attended an Auburn game.
James Brooks belongs in the NFL HOF.
Being only 180 lbs, Brooks was extremely physical and durable. 5500 all purpose yards as a collegiate and nearly 15,000 as a pro is amazing.
