Who are your 3 greatest college running backs ever? No need to rank them, just list them. I got to have Tony Dorsett and Herschel Walker on my list, let me think more about the other. Who would be your 3?

A list that starts with those two can't be half bad...Sanders was sterling in college...Earl Campbell or Bo Jackson were Herschel's equal...perhaps some USC backs?...Allen or O.J.?...maybe double Heismen Archie Griffin?...Red Grange?

Herschel Walker, Georgia - all-time leading rusher among 3-year players.

Barry Sanders, Oklahoma State - holds countless rushing records and was a hell of a lot of fun to watch!

Ed Marinaro, Cornell - highest career yards per game rushing average in NCAA history.

I'll accept that list minus OJ. Its hard to limit it to three!

I just joined so I hope it is not too late to present my list. I would have to go with Jackson, Walker, and Jim Thorpe. I would love to have seen Thorpe compete today. Especially if he were wearing orange and white!

2. Archie Griffin (Won 2 heismans)
3. Herschel Walker

Never too late, Marty. Lot's of good lists here... so hard to narrow this down to just three!
