Best UT running back

[DOCTORLOOMIS]

Most gifted…..Chuck Webb

If I HAD to get 4 yards for a first down and GUARANTEED not to fumble…..Travis Henry

Bryce Brown

Johnny Jones. He was as good as any listed, had secure hands, and was durable at Tennessee. Waited until he turned pro to get injured.

Jamal and Henry were my favorites

And Travis Stephens once Jamal got hurt he slowed down until he got to the Ravens but we had Jamal Lewis and Al Wilson to push each other then when Jamal went to the Ravens and had Ray Lewis to push him. That's what Tennessee needs is some Alpha Males like them one on offense and one on defense and a leader to guide them.

The best is yet to come!

Hurd could have been if lyle didn't over use him as a battering ram FB and in a less predictable manner. He was on track for busting the records (potential 4 year starter helping the cause).

He wasn't nearly as talented as Henry, Cobb or Lewis though.

Nobody mentioned Taco Foster?

 

[rocytop2624]

Hardesty was wrecked with injury or he would have been better.

Jamal Lewis gets my vote.

Definitely not the best, but Ontario Smith was a lot of fun to watch in mop-up duty during his one year here

I have always thought he was the last of that mold of backs we had dating to Cobb and Webb.

Other teams keyed on Hurd. Jones used him pretty much as he was used in high school. Suddenly, he decides he wants to become a tight end? Not defending "Lyle", but this musical chairs game of position changes makes trying to recruit impossible for any recruiting staff to adjust to.

Everybody knew that depending on whether he lined up next to Dobbs or beside him, if it was going to be a run or pass.

Yeah Hurd had a big target on his chest for 1st and 2nd downs, then they ignored him on 3rd unless it was short yardage.

You are all incorrect. For the perfect combination of style, grace, speed, raw power, and extreme explosiveness, Peyton Manning will never be touched. I couldn't find a highlight clip of his Tennessee rushing prowess, so here is a clip of his pure artistry in motion during his NFL days.

If you had 3rd and goal against bama on the 1 inch line Peyton is your man.
