James Wilder. He would make Gurley look like a girlie (no offense Semo). JW is probably my all time favorite FB Tiger. THAT was an SEC RB if there ever was one.

ETA: If we're talking about the biggest area of need, I'd go with William Moore. Having someone like him and/or Pig Brown patrolling the safety position....

I have only heard about wilder before my time but heard he was a hell of a player.

Wilder was a guy my dad always told me about.

From my generation I'd like to see Ron Janes line up in a short yardage scenario in front of these backs.

HermannMIZ and I have lots of Ron Janes and Brock Olivo stories from back in the day.

That was a fun team to be around. It wasn't just those two dudes though, good times were had at the Black and Gold Bar with those mid to late nineties teams.

For me, it's Chase Daniel.

But for a dark horse choice...

I think with Ziggy Hood in the middle it might free up our DEs even more to get to the QB. Would be pretty fun.

He was a BEAST-best RB I've seen at MU during my 40+ years of being a fan. Watch what he does to the guy who tries to tackle him at the 3.

Justin Smith.
We have great DEs but this guy was just an absolute beast. You have to remember that the game was a little different when he played. Now there is more passing. He would absolutely destroy a passing game now. If you double or triple him Sam goes nuts. Shaw would not have had any time to complete passes. He would have been running for his life from Godzilla. We would be undefeated right now.

I bet we know some of the same people. One of my best friends' husband played on those teams with Corby and Brock.

Considering we are stacked at WR, I would have to say Witherspoon. We would be unreal with him.
