college football history?

So history goes back to when Saban got to LSU ?

You Auburn folks disappoint. The first tandem that popped in my mind was Pat Sullivan and Terry Beasley at Auburn from 1969 to 1971. They had some good offensive teammates. Auburn used the 'wingback' a lot with Connie Frederick. Mickey Zofko was a good RB and Alvin Bresler and Dick Smaltz were solid and prevented teams from too much double teaming on Beasley.

While they put it in in 1971 (the wishbone), nobody (at least in the SEC) could lay a hand on Alabama's 1973 offense. Gary Rutledge at QB with Wilbur Jackson the primary RB in the Wishbone. You were in deep stuff,though,if you put 8 or 9 in the box and Wayne Wheeler was one of the better WR's in the country as Tennessee and LSU (who challenged them the tightest) found out the hard way.

Plus- Louis Murphy, David Nelson, Riley Cooper and Aaron Hernandez and a starting OL that's loaded with guys who had a least a brief time in the NFL-- 2008 Florida is in terms of future pros as stacked as any team outside of 2001 Miami (even then its close, but Miami had more first rounders I think).
