re: The greatest running back in the history of college football

Ricky Williams should be High on the list.

Weird how people leave him off this list. He is #3 on the CFB career rushing board. He averaged more than 6 ypc over 4 years. He scored more than 25 touchdowns in each of his final two seasons. He has not one, but TWO seasons in which he rushed for more yards than Herschel Walker's best season.

On top of that -- he passes the "eye test" every bit as much as Herschel or Bo. The only difference is that he played on some shitty Texas teams while Herschel and Bo played on good teams.

Red Grange, &/or Jim Thorpe.

Let’s just go ahead and end this debate.

It was without question Herschel Walker, followed closely by Bo Jackson. Barry Sanders is third on the list.

Can't forget Jim Brown and OJ, remember Jim Brown only played 8 games a season up at Syracuse and once scored 43 points in a single game dude was a FREAK

Barry had the best season, but Herschel had the best collegiate career. If Barry had done it for 3 years and carried OSU to a national championship then I would give him the nod. I never saw Jim Brown or O.J., but they should probably be in the conversation too.

He's definitely in the mix

Bo and Herschel are among the greatest athletes to play college football, Sanders is hands down the greatest RB to have played the game. He dominated on every level, and with longevity.

Not even the best RB to wear the color orange.
