Frazier was the MVP of three consecutive national championships games. He was Tebow before Tebow. Young people don’t realize how good he was. He’s on the Mount Rushmore of college qbs the last 40 years

Ted Ginn introduced myself to the wildcat in the 2004 Alamo Bowl; you just had to wait a couple years more. OSU fans called it the ShotGinn a few years before the wild hog formation

Dont think there is anyone in the world faster in the pads as this guy.

If he was a better route runner he would have been HOF worthy.

But to be in the NFL as long as he pulled off and still burning people like the sun at the right times.

Impressive

FIFY.

The only other team that Alabama played in the regular season with more than one opt out was Texas A&M. But let's stay on topic. Mac Jones had an incredible season but we do not have the benefit of hindsight right now. If he somehow tears it up in the NFL we can revisit Mac Jones and the 2020 college football season.

But you did get the best A&M team since JFF.

They weren’t good but they were a step above the rest.

Frazier, no doubt about it. I remember when they played Miami IN Miami his junior season. Frazier had been out the whole season due to blood clots but returned for the championship game. In the 4Q he had Ray Lewis, Warren Sapp, & Kenard Lang gasping for breath. Of course the next year he completely obliterated Florida in the Fiesta Bowl. Had they waited until after the bowl season he would’ve won in a landslide.

Also don’t forget his soph yr they were playing FSU who many were calling the “GOAT” — Nebraska got the ball with under 15 seconds left in the game and he got them into FG range but their shitty kicker shanked it

Not the best, but worth mentioning: Melvin Gordon

2,587 rush yards (7.5 yards/carry)
29 rush TDs (32 total)

Insane season, but caught in same year as Marcus Mariota.

ETA: Few years earlier, Montee Ball had 39 total touchdowns his junior season. Dude had 61 combined touchdowns between junior and senior season.
