Who Is Alabama's Best All Time Running Back?

[ricky023]

Hey Musso only had one reason he didn't win the Heisman, because he was from Alabama. He had played at OSU or ND or USC he would have been a 2-time winner. RTR!

I had such a crush on Johnny Musso. Every newspaper article, every picture I could find. All put into a book... Of course then we moved and it somehow disappeared. I would love to have that book though.
He was just such a hard worker - very worthy of the name "Italian Stallion"

Shaun turned out to be a great one for us, but his lack of playing time in his first couple years was due to he and Coach Stallings not quite seeing eye to eye on work ethic.

did he ?

He's listed in the rosters as #37 every year, starting in '95.

My recollection about his lack of playing time was his lack of blocking ability, not attitude.  Coach Stallings wanted complete football players, and SA was a RUNNING back.  But I don't know any insider info about it.

I think I'll have to vote for Musso.  He got more out of what talent he had.  He was just a medium-sized athlete.  I had a class with him (Algebra or Trig, forgot which), and sat next to him.  He was probably the best downfield blocker we ever had.

Like Chech I recall the lack of playing time was due to his blocking, in particular he had trouble picking up a blitzing LB. He worked through that and became a great running back for us. He was very unselfish when he bypassed the pro draft and came back for his senior year. I voted for Musso but Ingram and Alexander made it a tough choice.

there was one of our backs that switched numbers
I wasn't sure if it was SA or not ...
but I remember one of them switching (oldshimerzers)
may be a good triva question ?

thanks for all the input , good stuff !

I still haven't voted ... maybe tonight
