Thirty years after he delivered arguably the greatest season in college football history, former Oklahoma State running back Barry Sanders will be honored as OSU's homecoming grand marshal, the OSU Alumni Association announced Tuesday.
Sanders won't be alone, as his 1988 offensive line, known as the "War Pigs," will join him. Behind the War Pigs, Sanders rushed for 2,850 yards with 42 touchdowns en route to becoming the only Heisman Trophy winner in the Cowboys' history.
“1988 was such a special year for OSU football,” Sanders said in a release. “The fact that I get to celebrate the 30th anniversary at Homecoming with my coaches, teammates, and of course our fans, is very special to me.
