Ricky Williams breaks rushing record in grand fashion

Nov. 27, 1998: Texas tailback Ricky Williams broke the NCAA career rushing record with the same power and style he displayed throughout that Heisman Trophy season. Williams burst across the line of scrimmage, broke through two Texas A&M tackles and cut inside a block by Wane McGarity for the last 10 yards. Williams broke the record of 6,082 yards that Tony Dorsett set in 1976, just months before Williams was born.
