thrILL! Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) Wow you guys are taking it back to OJ and Earl Campbell?? I'd much rather hear this conversation geared toward recent times like the last 10-20 years or so instead of stretching the timeline decades ago to make narratives fit.

Wisconsin has had the best running game of the past 5, 10, 20 years (...just a guess) but right off the bat Bama has had better RB talent in the Saban era. No surprise when there's multiple 5/4 star backs coming in every class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram, Henry, Drake, Lacy, Yeldon, Alexander, Richardson, Jacobs all had college and pro success. Richardson, Pro success? Oh lol. Yeldon and Lacy were just guys. The rest were good.

Danger Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Penn State isn't there yet, but they're starting to become a real big RB pipeline for the pros IMO. Ever since Barkley. Barkley, Sanders, next year Journey Brown will be taken in the first couple of rounds IMO. Then after that I'd be looking at Noah Cain who reminds me of Ezekiel Elliot.

Lefty Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 If we’re going strictly recent history then Bama & UGA are in the convo Moreno, Marshall, Gurley, Chubb, Michel, Holyfield, Swift for UGA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely been very recent that we've been producing top-tier backs again, leading with Gurley, then Chubb and Michel and now Swift. We have some 4* and 5* recruits behind Swift who could make an impact over the next year or so and put their names up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I did have Wisconsin in my head when reading the title. So I agree. I know Georgia like to call themselves running back U though.... Walker, Gurley, Chubb, Moreno, Michel, Davis But yeah, Badgers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But between Davis and Gurley, sans Moreno, we had some not good guys graduate to the NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
