We need one yard for a game winning TD what Vol RB gets the carry ?

[BreatheUT]

Greg Amsler.

Speaking of Amsler....has anyone seen Greg Amsler the poster?

 

[BanditVol]

I'm going with Cheese. He was one of the most powerful backs in modern UT history.

And his boys could swim too!

 

[VOLociraptorr]

Jarrett Guarantano the time he thought he was a RB and called his own number

 

[#1fulmerite]

You guys remember when he they handed off to him like 18 straight plays against Mississippi State?

Dude was leading rusher that year! Played for Tampa in the pros.

Juan Jennings in the wildcat

Missouri said hello

 

[coffeevol]

Not a popular answer but Hurd was no joke in short yardage especially if you dont line him up 8 yards behind scrimmage.

I already saw Jennings drag multiple Mizzou defenders before. If I need only 1 yard I'm giving it to one of the biggest dawgs we ever had, someone that I know will fight tooth and nail for every inch.

That would categorize many greats that we’ve been fortunate enough to have over the years.

Many great choices and only a few not so great.

He post under a different name now. I think it’s Nighthawk but I may be wrong. I remember when Amsler was a freshman or Sophmore we were inside the 20 and they lined Poles at Fullback and Amsler as tailback and we just crushed it in the end zone in 3-4 runs. GBO

Give the ball to Jamal!!!

135 posts and no mention of Charlie Garner. Not the biggest guy, but one of the most dynamic backs TN has had.

One of my favorite vols

Yes, but it wasn't "who's your favorite Vol RB. The question was, who gets the carry when you just need one more yd for the TD.

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Best, and most important player in Tennessee football history

I’ll die on that hill…….

Who?

 

[peaygolf]

Who?

Look him up….

 

[Smokey X]

An equally interesting question. What offensive lineman and/or fullback would they run behind?

Chip Kell

Not that ole TH was ever, ever, ever, innocent. But you got to also remember the gals willingly opened the gates to their oil field for unlicensed wildcat drilling.

I'd have no issue giving the ball to Charlie for 1 yd.

 

[Savannahbayvol]

Johnny Jones of Munford Tennessee, #33 in your program, #1 in your heart. Dude fell forward every time. He would get you that yard, no doubt.

Well he sure as hell would be the one to give the ball to if you need a 66 yard run against Alabama!

 

[EasternVol]

George Cafego. In more modern times, William Howard or Hubert Simpson.

 

[lukeneyland]

Yep one of only 7 in NFL history to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. Heard people in the know say he is the only freshman they ever saw who could have gone straight to the League from HS.

I think he probably had the best combination of size and speed in UT history

Bill Freaking Duff

 

[snappervol]

Arian Foster gets my vote.

If you’re looking to fumble, ……. eh, sorry BraveVol didn’t read thru this thread.
Littleman was my fist choice as well. With a fullback and then up & over for the TD or the yard needed, was automatic.

I do really wonder what he could’ve done in an I formation

Probably would have gone down as the best in history. 100% had the talent and it was coach malpractice to have him and AK on the same team and handle it like CBJ did.
