Honestly just loved saying "Cooooooooooooop" after every graig cooper run. One of my favorite memories growing up at canes games.
Storm Johnson looked good that one time Shannon let him play.
Should be on the listum willis mcgahee?
Haha all good. I've done that plenty of timesRead the thread title againGuys!! Those are some great ballers,.. But somewhere there's gotta be a place for Edge...right??
I saw that after jumping the gun there!! I thought I had deleted my proof of illiteracy,.. Seems the secrets out now!!
I accept no list that doesn't have Frank Gore at the top.
Based on production It's
Duke Johnson
Frank Gore
Mark Walton
Lamar Miller
Mike James
Gore was definitely the most talented of the group but health has to be consideredl and he was injured or coming off injury a majority of his UM career.
Lamar Miller only actually played one season so that's his only knock.
I'm totally on the Mark Walton bandwagon after not being crazy about him his freshman year. His balance is otherworldly and he's an incredible receiver and solid blocker. He still struggles a bit when the hole isn't right there for him but he's gotten much better at reading blocks and finding creases.
um willis mcgahee?
I think Ghost means since the END of the 2002 season. I think we all remember how Willis' season ended that year. If you want to go back a year, to '01, then Willis gets my vote. IIRC he rushed for around 1700 yds. that year, or was it 1800?
Here's the list of Miami RB's Career YPC who have played since 2002 (with 100+ carries):
Not saying this is exactly how I'd rank them - but if you just look at YPC, it gives you a pretty accurate list.
I continue to be amazed at how underrated Duke has become, and how overrated Walton has become.
Here's the list of Miami RB's Career YPC who have played since 2002 (with 100+ carries):
Duke Johnson - 6.69
Willis McGahee - 5.92

Frank Gore - 5.68
Jason Geathers - 5.55

Walton's ypc is dragged down by his freshman year. He was still learning the ropes and had a bunch of runs called back.
As a sophomore, he put up 5.3 ypc, 1,117 yards and 14 TDs. That's a big-time year.
Gore is the opposite. His ypc is inflated by his freshman year. His last year he had 945 yards at 4.8 ypc and 8 TDs. He wasn't all the way back yet.

So now YPC is the end all be all?
Nice to know that the only things running backs do is run with the ball.
