You know it's the offseason when I'm posting a pointless blog about a relatively pointless subject, but hey. We're short on material.

The Ultimate "Runningback U." Auburn or USC?
I am a huge Auburn fan, and on occasion I like to brag about how Auburn is "Runningback U", only to be told by rival fans that USC (Southern Cal) is the REAL runningback U. Some say Auburn is the runningback u of the east and USC is the runningback u of the west. Which had me thinking who is the ultimate runningback u? Well I did some research and have listed, side by side, the amount of quality runningbacks that have come from each school. My criteria is as such.
* ran for at least 2,000 career rushing yards over 3-4 years.
* If they were a transfer from another school and only had 1-2 years, then they had to have at least 1,400 career rushing yards.
* DOES NOT have to be a trophy winner.
* I did not count Reggie Bush seeing as he was ineligable his whole career, still a great runningback though.
Here is the list of great runningbacks from Auburn and Southern Cal. (In no particular order.)
Auburn USC
Bo Jackson O.J. Simpson
Carnell Williams Marcus Allen
James Brooks Charles White
Joe Cribbs Ricky Bell
Stephen Davis Mike Garret
Brent Fullwood LenDale White
Rudi Johnson Jon Arnett
Ronnie Brown
Kenny Irons
James Bostic
*You could make an
argument for Ben Tate and Tucker Fredrickson.*
(Ben Tate had 1,959 career rushing yards
So it looks like Auburn has produced more quality runningbacks all time and in recent history. I think that Auburn is the ultimate "Runningback U."

Being a huge Falcons fan.....William Andrews was a tremendous professional RB.
-
USCw's running backs won't put up with as much shit as ours will though. I have to give them that.
Fucking hebe waiters.
-
AU looks to be the winnah but, you can't leave Reggie Bush off. Hell, Brent Fullwood didn't even go to Auburn. Besides, I like Reggie now that he's the cause of toppling the ivory tower.
-
I shocked that Tucker Fredrickson's career numbers aren't that high.
3 years, 260 attempts, 4.15ypc, 1079 total. I figured he'd be close to 2000.
Of course, he did split time with Jimmy Sidel.

Agreed, Bush should be included.

Sidebar. Who did Tucker go to high school with who went on to a good pro career?

There was a time here recently where, if you take 32 NFL teams and count FB and TB combined, and say there's 64 starting RBs in the NFL, Auburn RBs made up like 15% of the starting NFL running backs for a season or 2.
