Best white RB from your team?

Billy Cannon

Musso

Texas folks, what the hell ever happened to Sam McGuffie? I remember his viral highlight reels.

Johnny Mack Brown

Musso or Major Ogilvie. Paul Ott Carruth wasn't bad.

Kevin Turner was also a beast:

1988 Alabama SEC RB 10 28 120 4.3 1 9 67 7.4 2 37 187 5.1 3
1989 Alabama SEC RB 11 50 199 4.0 2 48 465 9.7 2 98 664 6.8 4
1990 Alabama SEC RB 11 66 269 4.1 0 26 240 9.2 1 92 509 5.5 1
1991 Alabama SEC RB 11 73 430 5.9 3 12 156 13.0 0 85 586 6.9 3

We haven't had many. Probably Brett Millican if I had to guess? Simply because he was our actual starter.

Brendan Douglas is not the answer.

Steve "The Cadillac" Wadiak for SC

Running back Steve Wadiak played for the Gamecocks from 1948-1951. He was the first to have his number retired in 1951, sadly after his passing in a tragic car accident. The Chicago-native Navy veteran stood as the school’s all-time rushing leader for 28 years after his senior season. Rushing for 2,878 yards in his career, he led the team in scoring and rushing all four years he played.
Wadiak was All-Southern conference in 1950 and 1951 and set a new conference rushing record at that time. Sources say he had been planning on signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers after graduating in June. Wadiak holds the school record for longest run from scrimmage.

Beginning with his freshman year in 1948, “The Cadillac” carved his niche football-wise by
rushing for 420 yards on 51 carries, including a
rather inauspicious start in the annual “Big
Thursday” game against Clemson. On his first
carry ever against Clemson, Wadiak ran for 43
yards, but late in the game he lost a fumble
deep in his own territory. Although the
Gamecocks stopped Clemson after that fumble,
Wadiak vowed never to lose to the hated Tigers
again after that 13-7 loss in his first season.
During his sophomore season in 1949, Wadiak
upped his rushing total to 775 yards on 152
carries, although the Gamecocks suffered
through another losing season with an overall
record of 46-0. The shining moment of that season was the 27-13 victory over Clemson in which
“The Cadillac” scored one touchdown and set up another with a 59-yard kickoff return.
Prior to the 1950 season, Wadiak was beginning to gain both regional and national acclaim as a
running back He set a Southern Conference record with 998 rushing yards in 1950, breaking the
old mark set by the legendary Charlie “Choo-Choo” Justice of North Carolina. Again Wadiak had
an outstanding performance on “Big Thursday”’ carrying the ball 19 times for 256 yards (13.5
yards per carry) while scoring both South Carolina touchdowns in a 14-14 tie game with Clemson.
He also chipped in a 95-yard touchdown run in the Gamecocks’ 34-20 win over George
Washington in a night game played at the nation’s capital Following the season he was named
Player of the Year in the Southern Conference as well as captain of the All-South team
