-Todd Gurley
-Nick Chubb
-Sony Michel
-Keith Marshall
-Brendan Douglas (who is famous for this flip.)


Most stacked backfield in CFB history?

I think this is a fair question, I literally can’t think of any group of backs who were on the same team, as good as this 2014 team.

I'm sure Oklahoma lined up with a better backfield during their wishbone days.

That’s a good point.

Option and wishbone teams are like cheating for stats

Kamara never played a meaningful snap at Bama.


Because of the injuries, each of our 5 running backs had to start a game that year.

A Heisman winner and all of them have started in the NFL.

-Gurley is better than Henry (NFL proved this)

-Chubb definitely had a better college career than Yeldon, will see in the NFL.

-Michel had 1900 more yards than Drake, end of story.

-Marshall has 1000 more yards than Fowler.

Auburn was so stacked in the Cadillac-Ronnie Brown era that Brandon Jacobs transferred after riding the bench.

Definitely considered them, but couldn’t think of a 3rd or 4th string that was good.


Also thought about LSU with Blue, Hill, and Hilliard

Great backs no doubt. Those guys carried UGA to the 2nd-place East finish that year.

Gurley got suspended, Keith Marshall tore his ACL for his 2nd time, Michel broke an arm, and Chubb was a freshman.

Who was on Auburn's 1983 backfield. I think all of the played for several years in the NFL.
