Well, the numbers say Lacy/Yeldon was our best tandem (both had over 1000 yards in 2012), so let's see if they can surpass that. They got off to a good start last night!Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but I was google searching "best running back tandem in college football" and found my own thread (BTW, I do feel a bit special )
But, with a few years of hindsight -- is Yeldon/Henry a better tandem than Ingram/Richardson were? (from this vantage point - but the end of the year, we may know for sure)
But, I'd like to think they will be in the discussion of one of the best tandems ever.
Thoughts?
I guess Howard never heard of Doug Barfield.Another one that nobody considers - but should be - is Auburn's triumvirate back in 1978 of Joe Cribbs-William Andrews-James Brooks, all of whom were All-Pros later on. I saw a MNF game where Howard Cosell said, "With those three in the backfield, how did Auburn ever lose?"
