Cribbs and Brooks were in a backfield together.
If I recall correctly, Cribbs, Brooks, and William Andrews were RB mates at Auburn...looking at their production both in college and in the NFL, that may have been the greatest SEC backfield...
Brooks played high school ball in my hometown...best HS RB I ever saw in person...

This is correct, pretty stout lineup for sure.

bo jackson, brent fullwood and either joe cribbs or james brooks, cant remember which was there. but either set was freakin awesome
I don't even think that is the best AU backfield. I would give it to Cadillac Willams and Ronnie Brown

Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson.
One Heisman winner. The other finished 3rd. Both All-Americans. Both first round draft picks

Is James Brooks the one that couldn't even spell his own name in court one time?
Oh, James could read and write just fine. What he WAS trying to do was create a courtroom pity party for himself so he could get out of paying child support.

I mean, Mizzou whooped that arse in the Cotton Bowl though ;).
Tony Temple broke that rushing record.

I'm not an Auburn fan, but the combo of William Andrews, James Brooks, and Joe Cribbs was pretty special. Too bad Doug Barfield couldn't find a way to make it all work.

Add in Caddy, Ronnnie, and Brandon Jacobs and it's just unfair. It's crazy the number of great combo backfields Auburn has had. RB U!

That game against us when McFadden and Jones combined for like 500 yards rushing was such a sad day.
