SMU, 1980.

James was a key player in the 1980 game, often referred to as “The Most Exciting Bowl Game Ever.” James ran for 225 yards to set a Holiday Bowl rushing mark that stood for 13 years. He had 45- and 42-yard scoring runs as SMU built up a seemingly commanding lead only to lose to BYU, 46-45. James played in the NFL with the New England Patriots and is now a television sports analyst.
