Most talented running back group of all time?

[Stakesarehigh]

SMU: Craig James and Eric Dickerson

And the hookers

 

[Stakesarehigh]

And the best one never played

It's wild to think Drake is a starting RB in the NFL but was a third stringer at Bama.

 

[Wishbone]

1 Herschel Walker >>> any rb group

Then why weren't his numbers better than Barry Sanders?

Cuz

SMU: Craig James and Eric Dickerson

Tough to argue against this with any certainty.

 

[BoiseMike19]

What month is it? July?

What's next? Who has the loudest stadiums?

Alaskaguy has already settled this like 11 times.

 

[tnapucco]

Thomas/Sanders by an embarrassingly large margin.

 

[thunderc]

Honorable mention to Adrian Peterson/DeMarco Murray.

 

[NolePride]

Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis of Army. They both were in the same backfield and they both won the Heisman

 

[DragonfromTO]

Ernie Davis and Jim Brown is the standard.

They didn't play in the same Syracuse (or Cleveland *sniff*sob*) backfield though.

I never remember which was which. I would guess that Doc was "Mr. Inside" but I'm not sure if that's just based on the order that you wrote them in

Love me some Kennyon Drake, he's a great change of pace back, but he's not a starting NFL running back...anywhere but Miami...Kamara on the other hand was so deep on the depth chart, he transferred to Tennessee.

They held the record for touchdowns by a backfield pair with 97, that was not broken until Reggie Bush and Lendale White got 99 more than 50 years later.

 

[olympicoscar]

2014 UGA- Todd Gurley, Nick Chubb, Sony Michel, Keith Marshall

Arkansas has Felix Jones, Darren McFadden and Peyton Hollis at one time.

Miami had Willis McGahee and Frank Gore

Any other nominees?

Four Horsemen of Notre Dame?

I guess my 1950s cfb knowledge is not as strong as I thought.

Yeah, kamara's the best of the group now. I thought he got kicked off the team or something?

 

[broncosmitty]

Okie State with Thurman and Barry.


Georgia's made it to the next level, they aren't HOFers.

 

[broncosmitty]

Yeah, kamara's the best of the group now. I thought he got kicked off the team or something?

Got arrested. Then a couple suspensions.


Think he left before Saban made him leave though.

 

[Rolltide94]

He was in the dog house for getting arrested, but he left on his own after redshirting. He went to JV before he wound up at Tennessee.

someone's a widdle cranky his team is irrelevant in this topic...

 

[78Cyclones]

Dalton Hilliard and Gary James were a nice tandem!
