Give me the Cadillac.  Hate to not go with Ronnie, but Caddy was more productive.  Dyer had a chance to be there. 

I did enjoy Rudi, but he was a one-and-done.  My dog's name was Bostic, and I really liked Steven Davis too.  Actually, I can't decide, there were way too many great ones.

Just looked at the list again.  My first memories were of Joseph and Danley.  Kenny Irons was a gutsy back that just produced (loved him).  Ben Tate was was also one of my favorites.

Good lord that is like asking do you like your Mom or Dad better?  You can't go wrong with anyone on that list.  With that said I would have to say RB and Caddie both the same, true Auburn men.

This is a tough call.  I think stat wise, it's Cadillac, but I still think that Ben Tate was really underrated as a RB and may have been the most phyisically gifted back to ever play at Auburn since Bo.  Also, Mr. Tate played during what I would call a down period for Auburn football, which didn't help his stats any.  Feel free to disagree, just my opinion.

I went with Carnell. I think Ronnie Brown was a better football player all around (just slightly), but Carnell was the better pure runner. I'm not going to choose anyone that I didn't witness live...

wow, you can really see the age of the voters in his poll.  I loved Cadillac, and would have him in my top 3-4, but I don't think he comes close to Tucker.

Was too young for Tucker and Childress.  I am going with Brooks and Fullwood in a tie for second.

The thing about Carnell is that I don't ever really remembering a TRUE freshman being the absolute heart and sole of an offense.

When he made caught that screen against thUGA and took it to the 1 yard line he instantly became #2 for me behind Bo. 41 carries and over 200 yards as a true frosh in The Deep Souths Oldest Rivalry?! Yeah, Cadillac.

Still gives me chills.

I went with Brown I could as easily have gone with Caddy or Tucker. I could have also have put this list on a dart board and put on a blindfold and anyone I hit would have been a good choice hence our nickname Running Back U

Based upon many of your ages I can see why so many already say Cadillac; but I am familiar with the hands down winner......... Joe Cribbs.  he played with much less talent supporting him and in only three years had close to the numbers Cadillac had in 4 years.  To further support this.....look at what Joe did in the NFL (short career but impressive)  I loved Cadillac and most of the others listed though..........just think Joe was the best overall.  Also look at Joe's all-purpose yards.  Someone posted this is like choosing between your parents lol  He was right!

If I needed a workhorse for a whole season there are alot of great backs on the list but, one game, on the big stage, under the bright lights,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Irons!

That is a hard one. I don't know that I could pick just one. I'll throw out a few of my favorites then toss a coin: Brent Fullwood, Steven Davis,  Rudi Johnson, and Cadillac Williams. first flip......Fullwood heads and Davis tails. Came up heads. Now Rudi heads and Caddy tails......second flip came up tails. So now it is Fullwood versus Caddy.....Final flip is Fullwood heads and Caddy tails. Came up tails again. So my answer is Caddy.

:thumbsup:

Loved it when he said before the LSU game he was going to put up 200 yards and then after the game he just held up 2 finges grinning ear to ear.

He's not on the list because Auburn has such an amazing RB history, but I always admired how hard Brad Lester ran the ball too.

Man sometimes I forget just how much history we have had at RB. Just look at all those names....

I think Cadillac would have to be my pick not just because of his numbers but how he did it. He looked so darn good when he got them. I wish I could've seen Tucker and Cribbs but from what I've seen its gotta be the Caddy. I think Dyer had the chance to take that 2nd role but couldn't keep his head on straight.

I think my favorite back of all those was Tate. He had to battle for every yard and I never felt like he didn't play his hardest. Will always be one of my favorites
