AU had that kid Johnson back in 2000(?) that was really good. Punished defenses.

And right after him AU had Brown and Williams.
Auburn has had some really good running backs over the years.

Rudy Johnson. Ronnie Brown. Caddilac Williams etc. Auburn typically has one of the best RBs in the league year in and year out

Since 2000 no backfield approaches McFadden, Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis.

How you only win 8 games with that….

He was a POS but Derrius Guice was a beast on the football field

Cody Schrader is such a great story. Anyone who can journey from D2 to SEC walk-on to All conference to even getting a cup of coffee in the NFL is a verified beast.

I think McFadden and Henry stand tall above the rest, and there are a whole hell of a lot of great ones to choose from.

McFadden was great to watch. He made a lot of good players look like they were running in mud.

Of all the McFadden stats and lore, my favorite is how he just punished South Carolina for no real reason at all.

2005 (freshman) - 32 carries, 187 yards, 0 TD, 3 receptions, 6 yards
2006 (sophomore) - 25 carries, 219 yards, 2 TD
2007 (junior) - 34 carries, 321 yards, 1 TD, 1/1 passing, 23 yards, 1 TD, 1 reception, 4 yards

How do you not have Caddy and Ronnie Brown in here?
you mean the obvious ones? Went for the less talked about SEC leaders in rushing and SEC Offensive players of the year type. Not famous Rbs that everyone knows

We managed to lose three games in 2010 with Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson, and Eddie Lacy.
