That game against Illinois he looked like Bo Jackson on Tecmo Bowl.
I'm going to miss Ak

Yep, that among others. His combo of speed/size/power is pretty rare

Next to the others, he's still not "first team" in my view.

Boy, that Rose Bowl performance brings back some memories.
We'll probably never know if Harmon threw that game or not, but his fumbles and inopportune dropped passes were bizarre to say the least. Yes, he caught a lot of passes and gained yards, but, his miscues always seemed to occur at just the wrong time.
No link or anything, but I do recall reading something about 10-15 years later that he implied to someone that he did in fact throw the game ( I don't recall the specifics but it wasn't an outright admittance, more of a "wink, wink, nudge, nudge" kind of thing). He was a great Hawkeye, so it hurts to think about that.
As for Wadley, he was fun to watch, but, as a complete back, I can think of 5 or 6 Iowa running backs I would rank ahead of him, including Harmon.
