"A Memoir of TCU's Glory Days" I need to find that article and check it out. Dan Jenkins was born and raised here and went to TCU so it should be a good read.

Reggie Bush.
That guy was absolutely electric in college. He brought new meaning to the word "explosive". |

Other than Beanie? Eddie. After Eddie? Antonio Pittman. After Pitt? Raymont. After Raymont? Adrien Peterson.

Raw talent alone, I would almost give the nod to Lawrence Phillips. The kid was good. Damn good. I also Like Adrien Peterson in that discussion. Marshall Faulk is an interesting case as is LT, as they played for mid-majors. I don't think Garrett Wolfe and Michael Turner are really in this discussion.
Reggie Bush was absolutely surrounded by the best talent on the west coast and then some and played in a Pac10 conference that couldn't spell defense without the help of a tutor. At the time Eddie George had his defining moment in college, it was against the #1 ranked rushing defense in the nation (Illinois) and he shredded it for 314 and a few scores as well as caught a TD and left the field with over 12 minutes to play. I honestly thought at one time that #13 would be in this discussion. |

You know what - I voted McFadden and it should have been Lawrence Phillips from Nebraska. The Mid 90's Nebraska teams beat the [censored] out of people and he was a major reason why.

He was just before Barry. Bo won the '85 Heisman, Sanders won it in '88.
I went with Adrian Peterson. (That's Adrian L., not the Adrian N. of the Bears, from Georgia Southern). |

looking at the list i was trying to pick between phillips, bush, mcfadden and AP. i went with Bush just because he was so dynamic. you can't go wrong with any of those guys though.

Reggie Bush
. Speed, power, and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield. I think Eddie is right up there with him but Bush was probably better in the open field. If Beanie would not have been injured and I could have seen more of him, he might be up there but does not have the open field ability of Bush or Eddie. |
