No, but I know if a UGA fan listed any shite bird who carried the rock for us as a part of a great RB list we'd get shat on.


Just pointing out that all those "vaunted" AU running backs were just average to good. Not great.

USC hasn't had a good running back since 2005 meanwhile Auburn has had a 1,000 yd back every year since 2005. you make no sense.

Ronald Jones has run for 1K in the past two seasons including almost 1500 yards in 2015.

And since we're looking at their entire history, their 5 Heisman RBs trump AU's 1. They also have 10 CFB HOF RBs to AU's 3.

I'll ask one more time because I think y'all are confused, but where did you come up with 5 Heisman winning RBs for USC?

I'm only counting 4.

A simple Google search will solve it for you. Mike Garrett (1965), O. J. Simpson (1968), Charles White (1979), Marcus Allen (1981), and Reggie Bush (2005).

That's odd, I can't find this name on the list of winners. Yeah, you're definitely confused.

Here's the offical website of the Heisman Memorial Trophy and their own list of every single winner. Maybe I'm overlooking this "Reggie Bush" character. The list is in alphabetical order and B is only the second letter is even you should be able to handle this search. Take a look and see if you can find a "Reggie Bush" on the list of Heisman Trophy winner:

He still won the award originally. We are talking about on-field performance in this thread.
The question is who has had the better the RBs? Not who has had the most upstanding RBs.

But if you want to get all technical. USC technically has 4 Heisman RBs to AU's 1 and 10 CFB HOF RBs to AU's 3.

The claim wasn't that they had 5 players who still have their Heismans. The guy won the Heisman. I even provided you a picture since you're a tard.

The Heismans thing is meaningless. For most of the history of the award it was all politics. Regional bias in Heisman voting is well documented, and the South was ignored for a long time. Certain schools, USC included, were given bias in the voting. In the 60s for example West Coast bias was strong in Heisman voting. From 62-70 the Pac-8 won 5 Heismans, 2 of which were USC RBs.

Oh please, if it was the other way around you'd be boasting about AU's numerous Heisman RBs.

But USC still has 10 CFB HOF RBs compared to AU's 3 and 3 Pro FB HOF RBs to AU's zero. I guess you'll claim bias there as well.

Yeah, your clear bias. But that's nothing new on this board

Not even trolling when I say 1. you're right and 2. the only name on that list I recognize is Ealy. (And FWIW I could name several UF and Bammer DLs).

White tho was and remains the GOAT DL in NFL. To the point no one even disputes it.
