Stephen Davis could have be the third best RB in SEC History if he had not played for Terry Bowden. He is the only RB that had the combination of power and speed that was close to Bo and Herschel, but Bowden wanted AU to be a passing team. McFadden was great but did not have the speed of the Big Two. Everyone else was a couple of notches below those four.

Does it have to be played in the SEC at the time or school is in SEC now?

He would have been under most any other coach. He was the only back that had the look and style of Bo and Herschel. DM ran the ball totally different than those other backs.

1. Darren McFadden, saw most of his games in person.
2. Kevin Faulk. When I was a kid I saw Lsu play Arkansas in Little Rock, and an Lsu fan had a sign that said "Faulk you, Arkansas." I thought that was a very clever sign. Hogs won 41-14.
3. Cadillac
4. Ben Tate
5. Lattimore

DMAC


DMAC would definitely be in the top 5 RB single performances I've seen in person. I was at the OM-Tennessse game in Oxford (and 5 seats over from Kiffin's wife).

Don't know if DMAC would make my Top 5 RB list, though.


1. Herschel Walker (Guy seemed to gain 8-12 yards every rush vs State)

2. Bo Jackson (I don't actually remember seeing Bo in football but I'm sure I did. I did see him play baseball)

3. Darren McFadden

4. Cadillac Williams

5. Anthony Dixon

6. Deuce McAllister
