Guy had a really good NFL career. So did Kevin Faulk.
Davis did too. He is 2nd all time in rushing yards for the Texans. He is often overlooked due to having played for that franchise in its early years.

And to think most thought Broussard and Vincent would be the great LSU backs of that era when they were freshmen.

Of course you aren't. Tennessee won't play LSU anytime in the near future.

C'mon...that list is full of potential outside of Fournette. There are a lot of rosters more proven including Oregon's.

Replace Ducre with Brossette

ITT, each team's fans vote for themselves for best RB combo in recent memory.
Posted on 2/10/15 at 2:29 pm to jso0003
Well Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas and LSU HAVE had some great RB combos....

Broussard if he hadn't have gotten hurt. Don't know what happened to Vincent after the 2003 SECC and BCSNC games.
The biggest what if and coulda woulda shoulda GOAT is Cecil Collins, along with Marcus Dupree.
What the Diesel could have done at LSU. And what Dupree could have done in the pros.
And if injury had not cut short careers of Bo Jackson, Gayle Sayers, Kijana Carter......

Jay Graham 2,600 yards rushing 25 TDs
Charlie Garner 2,091 yards rushing 10 TDs

Ok old timer. Congrats on bringing up the group that less than 10% of this board ever saw play.

Have seen Cribbs highlights. He was good. Brooks was good, though evidently no one at AU cared enough to help him learn to read. Never saw or heard of Anderson.

Andrews mainly blocked for the other two at Auburn.
He was very successful (multiple 1000 yard years) for the Falcons until he wrecked his knee.
Brooks played the "can't read" card in some contract lawsuit.

I usually disagree with all Barner's but I can't with this group. And that's back when formations included multiple back's more often. So, 3 of those guys could be in at the same time. I always wanted Trent Richardson and Mark Ingram or Trent and Eddie Lacy in at the same time but it's just not part of our current offensive schemes.
