You'd have to include Curt Watson for us old farts.

John Majors would be a legit candidate, too.

Definitely Henry over Graham IMO. All of those backs could take over a game. Graham, to me would break a big run now and again that might change the outcome but he didn't just dominate like Henry did in the final drive against Arkansas.

It is hard to argue with any of the other selections but I have a soft spot for Travis Stephens because everyone expected our productivity to go down when he took over the lead spot but he managed to hold his own. I don't think he is of the same caliber as the others but he is worth a mention.

It makes me sick to think how dominant our lines were too in those days vs. what they have been for the past 8 years or so. We were a damn machine at times when we were hitting on all cylinders.
