I can pick few
WR :Sanders and sutton
RB: ED/Zach
QB: Don

Not sure what is the question.

But, how can one consider anyone other than Doak Walker? He won the Heisman Trophy. He is the only Heisman Trophy in SMU history. He is the absolute base of any team consideration. And he played when players had to go both on offense an defense,

He’s asking us to name the best SMU offensive players by position. Sort of a first team list.

We already argued QB, so I’ll go Dandy Don. RB’s, have to have Walker and Dickerson. Receivers we argued. I do like #23 and Emmanuel Tolbert there. Give me some Dave Richards on the OL. And the great Clement Fox at tight end. What a blocker he was.

Forrest Gregg on OL. Ray Schoenke who played like 20 years in NFL as a guard.

Man, this is a tough one. Hard to do in different eras. But compared to how good they were against THEIR competition, I'll try:

QB1: Don
QB2: Lance
QB3: GG

RB1: Eric Dickerson
RB2: Doak Walker
RB3: Dupard

OL: Gregg, Richards, who else? that's hard ...Beachum ..Hellestrae).

WR: Sanders, Sutton, Levias, (either Proche/Quinn/??)

TE: Fox/?? (wish we had Grant for 3 years, he might be on the top of the list, possibly Granson up there too)

TE Oscar Roan. He was an All American.

Raymond Berry, Kyle Rote, Gary Hammond, Mike Richardson and Chuck Hixson shouldn't be ignored. No list should not include Jerry LeVias. Interesting, how many players had stellar college careers and so, so pro careers, others like Berry had OK college careers yet is in the NFL Hall of Fame.

Wasn't he also a 2-sport guy who played bball as well?

Yes. He was an emergency addition to the basketball team his senior year. He transferred to SMU from UCLA so he could play football. At that time the Bruins had the elite hoops program in US. Coach Prewitt asked him if he played. Roan responded, a little bit at UCLA.

On the O line would also consider Richard (though he went by his common nickname that shall not pass the censor) Hightower. All American center for Doak Walker.

[deleted] Hightower. Hey, you were right.
