Looking at the highlights of the Tulsa game reminded me how good (and maybe a little underappreciated?) he was. He held the rushing record for a time. He's gotta be top 5 all time, right?

Where does Curtis Brown rank in the Pantheon of BYU RBs?

No, he's not top 5.

BGRTHNUMEGO

I have him top 5

Where would BYU's national season rushing leader rank?

As long as you don't count old-timers like Forte, Ogden, VanValkenberg and Blanc

Yeah they were all good. Just how many of us actually saw them play?

LakeshowCougs

5/27/20 10:59am

Get off my lawn!

Sea Chicken

5/27/20 11:01am

Haha. Thats the reason i didn't include them, I put guys i saw play

LakeshowCougs

For those I didn't see

PVV had one good season. And basically anyone you're trying to count

Lip Gallagher

5/27/20 11:29am

I'm just saying they should be considered

Sea Chicken

5/27/20 11:59am

Luke had only 1 good season

Great back. About average for the Anae-era guys.

vagabonder

5/27/20 1:04pm

Good, unappreciated, but nowhere near top 5

Jesse Pinkman

5/27/20 10:41am

lol that's ridiculous. How is he not close?

Lip Gallagher

5/27/20 11:48am

no.

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 10:42am

Career wise, Brown and Williams are the top 2 RBs in BYU history.

mudpupper

5/27/20 10:42am

on what criteria?

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 10:46am

career stats

mudpupper

5/27/20 11:40am

Statistically, Brown's behind Unga, who only played 3 full seasons

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 12:08pm

Brown wasn't

Y05

5/27/20 11:36pm

"Touch down! Curtis Brown!" was my favorite Greg Wrubell phrase

BlueRhino

He always seemed to make the first defender miss in space.

Bossk82

5/27/20 10:44am

He's probably about 5. He was so good in space making guys miss after the catch.

CaliWG

5/27/20 10:45am

He's #2 all-time in all purpose yards

Here is the correct order . . .

Knock it off with that Jamal Willis slander

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/27/20 10:53am

Thank you for answering my question.

dratax

5/27/20 10:55am

PVV's question mark was receiving

donnerstag

5/27/20 10:57am

Jenkins plays for one year and he is your #2...get out.

TheLoneCougar

5/27/20 11:20am

2 years

BGRTHNUMEGO

5/27/20 11:20am

Fine, two years. Doesn't change my thought on him being #2.

TheLoneCougar

5/27/20 11:52am

You need Matt Bellini on there

Odysseus

5/27/20 11:25am

Matt was my high school coach for a time. Such a good dude and great coach.

ebv

5/27/20 2:33pm

No way Ronny is #2. Fun to watch but barely top 10

Tare

5/27/20 11:27am

Luke Staley is only considered top 3 for one great season

donnerstag

5/27/20 11:49am

Top 5. 3rd down conversion rate was phenomenal, especially in critical situations.

ColoSpgs

5/27/20 10:57am

Of RBs with 20+ carries on 3rd & Short situations, he is 5th out of 6 (since 03)

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 11:08am

Even then, stats like that are tough because so much depends on the OL.

Lip Gallagher

5/27/20 11:54am

I think Brown tended to have a solid OL

Mr Bassman

5/27/20 12:05pm

Yeah that's what makes Jamaal's numbers so impressive. He constantly ran behind

Lip Gallagher

5/27/20 12:13pm

Even 04?

Y05

5/27/20 11:43pm

I think he is around 4 or 5.

YaHerdWithPerd

5/27/20 10:59am

Curtis is #4

Tare

5/27/20 12:27pm

Above average.

His receptions and receiving yards was one of the big benefits I remember.
