Thomas Jones at LES was pretty impressive

I totally forgot Marshawn Lynch and Desean Jackson.

beebs4lyfe

5/24/16 10:31am

DeSean Jackson did bad things to our defense.

I agree with Faulk. Most amazing college back I've seen in person. He was a man

Reggie Bush was a freak show in college.

RichieRich

5/24/16 10:30am

That USC team was amazing. That season had two great home games in the preseason

5/24/16 10:41am

the correct answer is Reggie Bush...

James had a better game than Dickerson though. I guess the distinction would

BYUheaven

5/24/16 10:36am

Both Dickerson and James weren't superstars yet in 1980

James had more yards...

CoachSpeak

5/24/16 1:45pm

I wouldn't vote James for anything except javelin catcher on the track team.

kimdaddy35

5/24/16 10:56am

Dickerson and Craig James both killed us ... fortunately McMahon was better

ManicBlue

5/24/16 11:00am
