In an era when great offenses averaged maybe 400 yards a game. That makes his season stand out even more.

Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado. Three strong conference opponents. What was A&M's record that year?

Well, within the context of his entire career, those are legit statistics. He would've beasted against anyone that year.

If he got to the NFL and was a complete bum, then ok you can kind of scoff at the college stats. But he was the GOAT in the NFL too.
