For a random number, not bad.  Vote!

Tommy Casanova deserves serious consideration here--a rare defender in these lower numbers and himself a 3-time All-American--but I still had to go with the guy whose name is on the award.

How about John Pingel, AA at MSU in 1938, averaging 5.5 ypc as a half back in his All American season, and also punted 99 times for 41.8 yards, totalling 4,138 punting yards, an NCAA record which still stands.  Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Nothing sums up 1930s college football like an All American half back who still holds a punting record 80 years later.

Shaun Alexander was the most elusive, not-fast RB I've ever seen.  He was frustrating because you're watching him and there's nothing special there, but no one is tackling him and you start screaming at the TV and.......

Just learned that Doak Walker was high school teammates with Bobby Layne.  Damn.
