you know that Barry would have had 3 better seasons had Thurman not been in the way and the NFL draft

we ALL know
If only he had another season with 100+ carries that we could look at.....
105 carries, 5.7 ypc

As a backup, he had normal stats.
So no, we do not know that.

Also, maybe anticipating 25 different people posting on this thread was ambitious, lol.

I'll contribute, I'm just thinking.  Not many obvious Texas players here in the middle of that decade of suckitude, so I'll have to look harder around the country.

Eh. I'm not gonna get in the middle of the running back debate.  I think all three of the guys mentioned were pretty special in their way.

I wasn't really watching CFB in the 80s, so I don't want to interject player picks with my ignorance.

I already made my pick but I would like to nominate Andre Tippet,  who played DE, and was a consensus all-American for Iowa.  Even though he is most famous for being an NFL hall of famer at LB.

If you could pick 25 times, would the team be completely loaded with all Hawkeyes? ;)

So I hink the 3 RBs mentioned so far are Hershal Walker,  Barry Sanders, and Bo Jackson.  I would like to add one more suggestion that should be included in the debate
