The Bodda Getta

Well, picking four AUBURN RUNNING BACKS is really not that easy. Now of course, you have to take Bo Jackson first and foremost. Therefore, I'm going to say to not include him in this list and that you're really picking the top five. Sorry, but Bo Jackson will be there that's just the way it's gonna be because Stone...I hated that guy. Anyway, here's my next four that I'd take of AUBURN running backs.

1. Ronnie Brown...yes, Carnell had better stats but Ronnie never got as many carries. If you're going to go with best college runners, Ronnie Brown was one of the best ever in college and I'm sad they didn't run him more than they did though his injuries didn't help anything on that end. Still, had he and Carnell been used the way they were in 2004 both would have had stellar careers at Auburn University and not so many injuries.

2. Joe Cribbs...I wonder what Cribbs could have done with an Al Borges or Gus Malzahn offense? He had pretty good hands for a running back and you have to think he would've done some amazing things with that kind of an offense. I realize he was a bit of a late bloomer, but dang! He was a ball player! Yes, he might've been a little small weight wise, but you have to think he would've been huge with today's strength and conditioning college players undergo presently.

3. Tucker Frederickson...Hold on, I know he doesn't have the same gaudy stats as some of the others. But, come on guys. I've got to put a man on an Auburn list when Shug Jordan basically comes out and says he's the best/most complete running back he has ever seen. When coach Jordan gives out high praise like that, idle minds like myself should listen. If you like the bruiser type well he was 6-2 220 lbs. He was most definitely a "Hoss." He also was one hell of a blocker which you'll need to get the rest of these guys rolling!

4. Carnell Williams...I know you've probably got either or nine other Auburn running backs you wanted to put on here and that's fine. Unfortunately, I had to limit my list to four after Bo Jackson causing this list to actually be my top five. Look, the guy could flat out play! We all hear the "Go CRAZY Cadillac Go CRAZY!" commentary every Iron Bowl since it happened. He also had great hands coming out of the backfield and I have to wonder how well he would've thrived in Gus's HUNH offense. Can you imagine those two guys with Jason Campbell at qb with that offensive line running Gus's offense? Man, they would've broken all sorts of records. The guy's nickname was Cadillac because he was a cut above the rest. I think that tells you enough about Carnell Williams!

1) BO
2) Fullwood
3) Caddy
4) Stephen Davis

I agree, Bostic was an animal ... too bad he decided to leave a year early.

Thank you rrt1187...I worked hard on those four picks after Bo of course. I appreciate the fact that you read it. There is a pretty old name on that list I kept thinking some old timers would pounce on but nobody as of yet has talked about him.

1. Bo (He should be excluded from this list becasue he should be eveyone's default #1)
2. Tate
3. William Andrews (Dude was a BEAST. Want a hole open? Point Andrews at a place in the line and Go!)
4. Ronnie Brown

My four if you excude Bo as some have done:

Brent Fullwood
Ronnie Brown - versatility
Cadillac
Stephen Davis - I was so mad his last year when he was greatly underutilized.

If we were taking a fullback I would have to consider Heath Evans and Fred Beasely.

Just remembered another one that was a pretty good runner but kinda overshadowed-Lionel Little train James!

Bo

Caddy
Fullwood
Davis
Brooks
Cribbs/Brown
Dyer (on the outisde peaking in)
