Welcome to GenX Classic Sports, the podcast where we revisit the unforgettable moments that shaped our sports memories growing up. 

In 1985, the Heisman Trophy came down to one of the closest votes in college football history. Bo Jackson’s raw power and highlight-reel runs went head-to-head with Chuck Long’s precision passing and Big Ten dominance — and only 45 points separated them. 

On this episode of GenX Classic Sports, we revisit the season, the stats, the regional bias, and the debate that still divides fans decades later. Best player or best team leader? The answer depends on who you ask — and where you watched the games.
