During the McFadden years, Arkansas had no passing attack at all. Everyone they played had eight or nine in the box and it’s amazing what the Arkansas running backs accomplished.

McFadden/Jones for me

2017 Bama gets my vote for overall room tho.

Scarborough
Damien Harris
Josh Jacobs
Najee Harris
Brian Robinson Jr

5 NFL starters and 2 first round picks.

If "tandem" means two-headed monster and not one giant monster and a smaller one who'd become big later, then it's Mcfadden/Jones for me. DM is one of a handful of skill position guys who scared me every time he touched the ball, and Jones was an excellent complement.

Cadillac/Brown would be second.

Playing in the early 80s, Dalton Hilliard and Garry James were LSU's all time best two-headed monster.

2018 Alabama was crazy deep:
-Damian Harris (NFL starter)
-Najee Harris (1RD, NFL starter)
-Josh Jacobs (1RD, NFL starter)
-Brian Robinson (NFL starter)

2006 game in LR.

3-17, 29 yds (21 on a single TD pass) and 1 interception.

0-for-8 in the second half


Literally the absolute worst QB performance anyone has ever seen.

And that team should have won the SEC and beat National Champ Florida if not for a muffed punt.

I mean it's hard to argue against Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown by themselves, but when you throw Brandon Jacobs in the mix, that bunch gives McFadden/Jones/Hillis a run for their money.
You forgot about the white boy who ran all over Alabama when Brown and Caddy were hurt and couldn't play in the IB.

It still amazes me that Jacobs could barely sniff the field because he had two first rounders playing the same position. Then went on to have a pretty good NFL career.
