1) Embry Peeples. Not sure a lot will use this one, but he was a guy who took advantage of CPJs offense as a non-feature back. He did everything else right it seemed like. He ran sharp routes, and put his body on the line to make the blocks. Wish we had 3 of him this year.
2) Roddy against the Dwags (no explanation needed)
Honorable mention- Orwin Smith against Kansas. He simply couldn't be stopped.
3) David Wilson 2011. Think he put up 180 with 2 or 3 big runs

Tashard choice



CJ spiller had a good game against us in 2009 but when looking it up I saw Andre Ellington had close to 180 and 3 touchdowns against us in 2010 but I don't really remember that game.

1. Probably Jerry Mays.
2. Man, this one is tough. Synjyn against Missy State to open the second half maybe? Roddy's second TD run against Georgia is priceless, but Days mowing down the Mississippi State defense was awesome.
3. Need to think on this more.

1. Jon Dwyer was fun to watch in his prime. Also loved Tashard Choice'so passion for the game.
2. I think it was against Vandy and I was sitting up in the partially finished north stands. TD Tony Hollings absolutely blew up the angle against the DB on a sweep. Incredible play. Lots of other good suggestions above.
3. Probably CJ Spiller in the ACCCG in 09. I think he won MVP of the game in a loss!

1.Eddie Lee was exquisite
2.Wm Bell in '90 Neb Bowl game-greatest spin ever

3.the Clemson QB who ran through ,around,and over us in a comeback clem win
