Yep.  Recall it well.  As much as OJ is now a complete degenerate, I have never seen a better runner.  

 

my parents didn't watch football so I missed OJ. What do you think of Bo Jackson ? He was the best runner I saw.

OJ ran for 273 yards in a loss to the Lions.  I believe it broke the record for yards in a game at the time.

Unfortunately I’m not able to embed the video.  

 

I cant recall the Bills ever playing on Thanksgiving Day in my life.  I googled it and discovered the 1976 game 

 

Pretty unforgettable performance in an otherwise nondescript conest.  Gary Marangi.  :sick:

Bo was great.  I've seen many great ones over the years.  I always tend  to divide them into two types:  more physical and more elusive.  Bo, Earl Campbell and of course Jim Brown in the former group.  OJ, Sanders, Sayers, Dickerson, and Dorset the latter.  Then the guys kind of in between:  Payton, Emmitt Smith, Thurman.

 

if you want to pick one guy in the open field that could cut, elude guys, and run like the wind, it was OJ

Remember this game; many on this board do not know the really bad years of 1968, 1970, 1971, 1976, 1977, 1984, and 1985!

Can you imagine if this board existed for those years?

Absolutely Horrendous Football in those seasons.

many would say Barry was the most elusive? I wasn't his biggest fan because of the negative yards and short yardage situations.

So many great ones.  Sanders was incredible.

84-85 were the worst

 

 

Really, incredibly bad, so when I read these ignorant posts about bad they really do not know! But look at the 1985 draft and the "process" that built a dynasty!!

Bo was great, but his football career was too short, and even at his best, he wasn’t as good as OJ. There’s never been a better NFL back than OJ in his prime.  And his first two years in the league were wasted with a moronic coach who refused to use him.

Met my wife in 84, got married in February, 1985. Not too long after she asked “why do you do this to yourself?” 

 

It was a fair question. The next generation carries it on. It may be genetic?

We went onto greatness and we are about to do the same.

Still an amazing runner. I only recall the hip injury that ended his career.

 

 

Never forget Bo running over Brian Bosworth!
