And he shared carries with Kalin Hall for much of his career. Hard to know what

kind of numbers he would have piled up if he had been the undisputed #1 tailback his entire career. But I don't blame BYU for playing both Hall and Willis - they were both very good, and had complimentary running styles that were very effective when used together.

He's not even on your list. Jamal Willis.

Solid choice.

Mikey

If Jamal had played in an offense with a real run game . . .

Unga and I don't think it's close

Backcountry

Unga was great but not even close?

TNT

7/25/17 12:13pm

You read that correctly sir

Backcountry

7/25/17 12:21pm

Did you watch Luke play? Man among boys.

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 2:13pm

I can't remember how strong was the schedule that year

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 3:18pm

Possibly one of our weakest over the last 20-30 yrs...

wickedgame71

7/25/17 3:57pm

About as strong as our 1984 schedule... should we ditch the NC trophy?

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 4:02pm

Don't ditch it but it should figure into greatest running back ever

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 4:55pm

Unga played against similar opponents many times and did not destroy them like

I'm not arguing that Luke isn't great. I like Luke he's 3rd on my list

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 5:00pm

This is the age-old debate about how we define "greatest of all time"

Game Changer

7/25/17 5:45pm

In terms of talent, I would put Staley, Jenkins and Homer Jones

Archaea

7/26/17 2:42pm

no

7/25/17 12:40pm

I'd say Unga is third at best

Now that's the CB TNT knows and loves

TNT

7/25/17 12:22pm

I would put Brian McKenzie on this list over Peter Tuipulotu

Game Changer

7/25/17 12:18pm

I'd also put Lakei Heimuli and Casey Tiumalu on the list over Peter T.

foofcoug

7/25/17 12:21pm

The only thing possibly going against Luke was his injuries...but considering

Preppy

7/25/17 12:19pm

Staley was best. Harvey 2nd. Put the real Jamal on there and also L. Heimuli

fulano

7/25/17 12:23pm

I created another poll w/ Willis and Heimuli (and some others).

7/25/17 12:27pm

Man, people are sleeping on Jenkins.

ag4cougs

7/25/17 12:30pm

The speed isn't a question. More likely longevity

TNT

7/25/17 12:31pm

Give me fours years of Jenkins over anyone else.

ag4cougs

7/25/17 12:32pm

TNT isn't casting a judgment. Just guessing how people are voting

TNT

7/25/17 12:34pm

Jenkins was 170 pounds - not feature RB material. Had great speed, obviously

Game Changer

7/25/17 12:39pm

For his size, he was powerful. I'd have liked to see him for 2 more years.

Belboz

7/25/17 12:51pm

Jamaal by far

I'mBatman

7/25/17 12:34pm

Do it all guy, just like Harvey. But Jamaal was a more speedy.

gmj81

7/25/17 12:39pm

I agree. And for that I believe he'll stick around The League awhile as well

wickedgame71

7/25/17 12:41pm

I agree. Jamaal or Unga. Both did so many things well and for multiple years

wickedgame71

7/25/17 12:40pm

While TNT loves Staley

7/25/17 12:54pm

1. Luke...................................... 2. Harvey, 3. Willis, 4. Ronnie...

You don't have the all time leading rusher in your top 4

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 3:20pm

He benefited from starting all 4 years

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 3:57pm

You're joking, right? He didn't "benefit", he earned every rep he got

gmj81

7/25/17 4:12pm

You're joking, right? The definition of benefit is

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 4:29pm

Jamaal played 3 more games than Harvey. Sort of stretching the 4 full years

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 4:44pm

Oh and he had 500 more yards than Harvey with only 30 additional caries

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 4:59pm

1. Luke, 2. Unga, 3. Ronnie, 4. Fleet Pete, 5. Jamaal 6. Pete T, 7. Curtis
