I read both articles a while ago, both are interesting reads. The SEC vs Big 10 running backs article is a keeper for all NFL war rooms come draft day. The article showed some love to Stephen Davis and Fred Beasly, if any NFL team wants to see how good a Big 10 back really is then they should watch him against an SEC defense, remember that whiner from Penn St after the Cap. One Bowl?

Oh, and there's one more Big Ten running back you may have heard about. Just in case there weren't enough reasons for teams not to pick Maurice Clarett, just remember how good Ron Dayne looked in college.

Did anyone else notice how classy Brandon Jacobs sounded?

Fact is, the Auburn backfield was actually less crowded in 2004 than it had been the previous season, when Brandon Jacobs was around. Jacobs, who equaled Brown's rushing output in 2003 and whose 6.2-yard-per-carry average was superior to the marks of his more famous teammates, transferred to Southern Illinois for the '04 campaign. He is one of the fastest rising players in the draft pool.

But he still isn't in the draft stratosphere occupied by Brown and Williams.

"Those two guys are pretty special," said Jacobs, when asked about his former teammates at the combine in Indianapolis. "They compete hard – against each other, and just in general, too. It's going to be interesting to see, when they go their separate ways in the NFL, what each of them uses for motivation. Because, really, they were basically the motivation for each other [in college]. I mean, they shared a lot."
