We ran a wishbone with literally quite possibly the best backfield in the history of college football in 1983. #1 and #2 overall NFL draft picks (and Heisman winner). A guy who set the single season NFL all purpose yards record, a record that stood for almost 20 years. A guy who started for the Cowboys and has two super bowl rings. A guy who put played in 44 career games and was drafted by the Bears. And finally a guy who put up over 800 career yards but was not drafted.

Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders fell asleep reading that. They sleep peacefully with lots of college and pro hardware, all time records, retired jerseys, and entry into both the college and pro football halls of fame to their credit.

They are literally the best backfield to be on a roster at the same time in CFB.
