Keeping it relatively modern times, and for the games against the hogs only.  Who was the best player to perform against the Hogs from 1960-current?   Award winning players have played but not lived up to expectations.  Bo Jackson really only broke 1 off against the Hogs late in the game.  But Earl Campbell owned the Hogs.  Cam Newton played up to the hype. 

Really hard to go against Campbell, Newton, Eric Dickerson.  Others?

Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush and Steve Smith killed us in 05.

True but that was a beat down by anyone wearing a trojan uni. Not total dismantle by 1 player.

Hubert Owens in every game of ours he called.

Aikman in 89 Cotton Bowl.  Statistically ho hum, but 22 first downs to 4, they (he) controlled the field the whole game.  Grovey completed only 2 passes that day for 10 yds.  Awful day.

Mike Singletary
Great choice. I was eight years old, November 13, 1978. My first trip to Waco.  Hogs beat a so-so Baylor team 27-14 in front of probably 40-45K fans.  Singletary had 35 tackles in that game.  The two greatest college pursuit and tackle players I've ever seen in person are Atwater and Mike Singletary.  After that game, everything he did with the Chicago Bears was no surprise.  Likely the most intense defensive player Arkansas has ever faced.

Earl Campbell impressed me the most with his 166 yard game against us back in '77, and he earned about every inch.

That was real football back in those days.
I said...LSU has often been an overrated team.

That ignoramus Draconian Sanctions said..if we're overrated, why are we ranked higher than you are?

I don't remembet Aikman playing defense that day.  Campbell gets my vote.

Andre Ware. How many Heisman winners has Arkansas faced ? There's been a few !

Each of the afore mentioned were incredible in their own ways.

However ... Earl Campbell would have to get my vote if I had only one.  Dragging multiple Hog players with him into the endzone.  Glad when he was gone.
I miss the smell of the mud, grass, and sweat of the practice field. I miss blood oozing down your arm from the rip in your skin that was slashed on a guys helmet as you punked him at the line of scrimmage and put his dobber in the dirt.

I've seen em all and it is Earl without a doubt.
If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.

Probably spelled his name wron though but he was a hog killer.

James Street, when it mattered most. That 4th down play was pure squirrel. We had it and it slipped away. :puke:

Told a Longhorn fan just today how much I enjoyed watching Earl Campbell play.  I also enjoyed watching Dan Hampton go against him.  It was like watching two trucks collide.

Why do people say this? Aikman did not do anything special in this game.

UCLA'S nose guard and or defensive tackles won the game for the Bruins.

I'm not old enough for a 1960s comparison...but two guys I specifically remember actually seeing in person against the Hogs that ripped us a new one....and left a lasting impression were Peyton Manning and Johnny Manziel.
Thanks for the F Shack.

The Tyler Rose no doubt
I hated that man. He seemed to sum up our rivalry with texas at the time. No matter how good we played, no matter what we did, they would still......ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
Never smarten up a chump.

Bill Brasky. End of conversation.

Earl Campbell.  Lineart and Bush come in a close second.

Earl Campbell.  The guy was a bowling ball and might have owned all kinds of NFL records if he had stayed in the game, but he was probably smart to play just a few years and quit.

Probably, since he's in a wheelchair now.

Dak Prescott when they came to Fayetteville his senior year vs Brandon Allen. If we could block on field goal we would have won. Dak had a great game though.
