“What’s that comin’ down the track? It’s a big machine that’s Red & Black.” So goes the popular Bulldawg Nation rally cry. Never was this more true than in Herschel Walker’s time at the University of Georgia. Walker was literally a machine among college men, powering through and around would-be tacklers like few before him. Starting in his first game as a freshman Herschel immediately made his impact felt, absorbing All-American Tennessee Safety Bill Bates’ hit and trucking him to the ground before rumbling towards the pay dirt. Walker would go on run for 1,616 yards and 15 touchdowns his freshman year, even while sitting a full 11 quarters due to minor injuries and Coach Vince Dooley’s mercy. Georgia won the only football national championship in school history in 1980, riding the back of their workhorse RB, steamrolling Notre Dame defenders in the Sugar Bowl to the tune of 150 yards rushing, meanwhile the rest of the offense was held to -23.
