When Cavan played him... Kelsey Adams.

He was the reason we won five in a row in 1997.

For those that remember, he was in Cavan's dog house, suspended for the first three games of the year, and only got a few snaps versus BYU and New Mexico.

Then he got a chance to start, and rushed for 600+ yards in five games, scoring 9 TD... all wins. The yards weren't cheap either, Kelsey averaged 5+ yards a carry.

He was injured in practice the week of TCU, and was a non-factor, playing only on the first offensive series (a TD, SMU 7-0 lead).

Then it was right back to Cavan's doghouse, and he played sparingly in 1998.

Of all the backs, he had the most talent... unfortunately, he and Cavan did not get along.

Donte Womack could run too.

I would think-you're right that Kelsey Adams was the best, but actually those that went to the SMU/Tulsa game the week before the SMU/TCU game can actually attest to the fact that Adams was hurt on the very last SMU offensive play of the SMU/Tulsa game where SMU took the lead on his touchdown. You could tell he hurt it pretty good and had to be helped off the field. It wasn't prominently mentioned in the press or noticed by many people who were not at the game because SMU didn't have another offensive possession where you would notice his absense.

Womack's day against Arkansas was probably the best individual RB performance post DP.

Which makes me sick that we sat him against TCU.

As for overall . . . Rongee Hill? with a close second going to Jaques Smith (kidding).

Anyone remember the overhyped "Pony Express II" of Vaughn Dickerson and Chris James???

ShanDerrick's back to back 200 yd games will be a difficult feat to match, but career wise, Adams, Womack & Phillips all stood tall.

If KK has a repeat performance of 2002, he will join that group. No one player stands out to me.

I don't know if I would include Rodnick Phillips....to me he always seemed to be more talk than actual production.

I had to include him because he was good enough to get a free agent tryout with the NFL.

well he produced a 1200 yard season but again had a huge number of carries.

I guess he and KK would both be eligible for the Timex Award...they took a licking, but kept on ticking.

Donte Womack and Keylon Kincade.

Until Richuel Massey breaks out!
