Who will block for your awesome running backs? Who will hand them the ball? Auburn's gonna suck dick this season. You'll be lucky to win 8 games.... and I don't hate Auburn.

We'll have some damn good young linemen in 2012 and 2013. We'll only be rebuilding the offensive line for so long.. Hopefully, Shon Coleman is healthy enough to take over at right or left tackle.

Past Great Auburn Running backs:
1.) Tucker Frederickson
2.) Williams Andrews
3.) Joe Cribbs
4.) Rudi Johnson
5.) Stephen Davis
6.) James Bostic
7.) Brandon Jacobs
8.) Lionel James
9.) Brent Fullwood
10.) Carnell "Cadillac" Williams
11.) Ronnie Brown
12.) Heath Evans
13.) Kenny Irons
14.) Ben Tate
15.) Bo Jackson


Auburn has several former running backs currently playing that position in the NFL (see below). They carry on a long legacy of top NFL backs from Auburn such as Tucker Frederickson, William Andrews, Joe Cribbs, James Brooks, Rudi Johnson, Stephen Davis, James Bostic, Brandon Jacobs, Lionel James, Brent Fullwood, Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown, Heath Evans, Kenny Irons, Ben Tate, Tommie Agee and Bo Jackson. Over the years 1987-2008, there have been 15 Tiger running backs drafted into the NFL, with several more successfully signing as undrafted free-agents.

I see how you put the list together...

According to LINK there are currently 37 Alabama players in the NFL.

Auburn has 33.

We win!

"on brandon jacobs"

When your title has overshot your list, you tend to publish names of anyone that committed to your program. Even if they transferred or got kicked out. I think Coffeyville CC (2 seasons), Aub (1 seas.), and Southern Illinois (1 seas.) are all claiming him as well. Coffeyville seems to have held onto him first and longer than any other.

Furthermore, I think USC, Bama, Miami, LSU, etc. can list just as many quality RBs that are listed here. If not more. So why are you the self-proclaimed RB U. again? Because you say it the most doesn't make it true.

Losers. Always trying too hard.

You look like you could use a nice, cold, frosty bottle of Draino.

Drink up!

Well when the national media says AU & USC are Running Back U, that tends not to be self-proclaimed, but I may not be mistaken

I will be attached by BAMA fans and I love Alabama football and Trent Richardson but I think Dyer may be the best RB in the country. He reminds me of Bo Jackson/Emmitt Smith Combonation.

He may not have the line to get it done this year but I think we will all be shocked at his numbers by the end of the year.

Lionel "Little Train" James is still one of my all-time favorites.

I'm not going to attack anyone, I just disagree, and am not seeing what you are seeing. I just feel like Trent's best plays are more impressive than Dyer's best plays. I see no resemblance of Bo Jackson, maybe a little Emmitt Smith.

Let's see Dyer break 5 tackles against Arkansas and then outrun their corners to the end zone.
