Ricky Williams – 1998
Every single fan of college football had their eyes on Ricky Williams in 1997. We bet that he would have bagged the Heisman Trophy that year if it had not been for Charles Woodson and Peyton Manning. We are glad that he brought it home the year after that. During that span of time, his touches went from 279 to 361 as well. With his 6,083 rushing yards that season, he set the new rushing record in the FBS. We are sure that it is not hard to see why his pay was the town’s talk.

Tony Dorsett – 1976
While Tony Dorsett had an awesome run in 1975, Pittsburgh only had an 8-4 record that year. The year after that, things looked up when he took the team to the National Championship game. His personal record is no laughing matter whatsoever. He led the league with his 370 carries and 2,150 rushing yards. His team started the season with a road victory against Notre Dame. During that game, he rushed for 61 yards during his first carry. They closed the season with a National Championship win.
