Slammer1 409 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 10. Lloyd Nix 9. Dameyune Craig 8. Reggie Slack 7. Patrick Nix 6. Travis Tidwell 5. Jimmy Sidle 4. Jason Campbell 3. Stan White 2. Pat Sullivan 1. Loran Carter/ Cam Thanks for mentioning QB Lloyd Nix Golf. All he did was have a perfect season, win a national championship while playing both ways as a defensive back. I doubt a lot of the youngsters on here even know who he is. I guess if it didn't happen in the last 30 years or so nobody qualifies. Life moves on. WDE!!!

kingfish 73 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Jimmy would have been a fantastic wishbone QB Never thought about him in the wishbone before, but you are right. He would have excelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80Tiger 904 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I know it is a sign of the times and I certainly never saw him play, but I do remember the name Travis Tidwell. He played QB for AU in the late 40s. Two time All American. Led the nation in offense 2 seperate years. Held most QB records at AU until Sully. SEC player of year. Led AU to big upset over UAT in 1949 (my mom was at that game and said it was great). Seventh overall player drafted in NFL. I believe that is deserving of a top 5 ranking on this list.

I watched that 1949 game API won 14-13, with Travis doing some spectacular open field running. That game avenged the 55-0 shellacking we took in the 1948 renewal of varsity competition with UA.

Our career leading receiver had 88 catches. I am old school, ground and pound, but am glad the game has progressed from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU7to88 0 Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Glad Randy Campbell is on many lists. He was not flashy but he got AU in the right play just about every time and rarely made a mistake. When Dye arrived Barfield had Campbell like 3rd string WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caleb1633 1,418 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 So after one season does Marshall crack the top 10? If he wins a Natty for us I don't see how you can't put him as a top 10 QB for us. If he gets efficient with passing next year he could be as dangerous as Cam was too.

He'd be more dangerous tbh A better runner (swifter) An emotional machine Probably equal passing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptau 169 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Chris Todd's 2 years at AU were bitter sweet. His first year was a mess because of the coach situation. He came on his senior year with Gus as OC. I really think with a healthy throwing arm he would have been amazing. The 2009 iron bowl might have been our win too.
