Let's get a little discussion going on the best indiviual season by an athlete in any sport, college or pro. I don't think that it is possible to narrow it down to a particular number 1, but let's see what we can come up with.
I'm going to have to go with Barry Sanders and his 1988 Hesiman season for OSU. Keep in mind this was his first and only year as a starter.
Chew on these numbers:
Opponent/Yards in the game
Miami Ohio 178
Texas A&M 157
Tulsa 304
Colorado 174
Nebraska 189
Missouri 154
Kansas St 320
Oklahoma 215
Kansas 312
Iowa State 293
Texas Tech 332
Total: 2,628 (238.9 yds/game), 39 TD's
Wyoming (Bowl Game) 222
Overall season Total: 2,850, 44 TD's
