Boston College's own Mike Ruth is up yet again for the National College Football Hall of Fame. This isn't something new, as Ruth has been on the ballot for years, yet still has not heard his name called. This season Ruth will have to gardner enough votes against players such as: Matt Leinart, Derrick Brooks, Eric Dickerson, Torry Holt, Ray Lewis, Rashaan Salaam, and Kirk Gibson (yes the baseball player).
The 6-foot-1, 285 pound Ruth played for the Eagles from 1982-85 and was a constant menace to opposing offenses. He was a consensus 1985 First Team All-American, a three time All East and ECAC selection.
