With Clyde’s line? The best line in the history of LSU football? Sure. But with the same line? No shot. Even you wouldn’t - not if you had real money on it.

I feel like Hester should be higher for the FU game alone.

He’s not the best on the list, but Addai may be my favorite of all the backs.

Dude was tough as hell. Almost never went down on first contact.

I remember one performance against Florida in 2004 when we just kept getting him the ball on the final drive and Randall hit him in the flat to give us the go-ahead TD with 20 seconds or so left.

Fournette was the best true talent at RB we have ever had at LSU.


This is absolutely true.

We haven't had a running back worth of being on the list since 2019. Wonder if that will change soon.

For what it's worth... ChatGPT with none of our biases:



I personally bump Vincent up to 4th since he was the MVP of our postseason offensively during the championship run that brough LSU to prominence.

I think caden dhurams freshman year keeps him in the running to be a top 10 back if he has over 1,000 yards this year and 25 catches or so.

Josh Williams was a good do it all back as well. although, I think it was higher on him than most. either berry or Durham will be a top 10 back before they leave

For one year in 2000...Tommy Banks. We all loved him and wanted to see him carry the ball more.

If Josh Reed stayed at RB, bet he would be on that list (also).

Maybe not top 10, but Darrell Williams is oft forgotten in this conversation.

3. Jeremy Hill


I personally believe he was better than Guice. And unlike Guice and Fournette he ran for over 100 yds against Bama in 2012. Was extremely underrated in explosive runs. He’s my number 2 since 2000.

Blue and Holliday did not rush for 1000 yards for their entire careers


Just off the OP list is TDP and Nick Brossette

Addai was the very first RB I thought of when the question was posed. Top three for sure! I’d give fournette the top spot due to being a physical freak and everyone in the country knew he was getting the ball!

Historically Faulk is 1 or 2.


Depending on how far back we go, Steve Van Buren, Billy Cannon, and Jim Taylor are in the picture.

Who is this Guice fellow?

I checked LSU stats and he’s not there.

There's a lot of subjectivity to this list, but I will point this out:

Alabama was getting in the backfield a lot vs Clyde that game, just as they did vs Fournette.

Fournette did this



While Clyde did this

Nah. Clyde made some great moves in that game (and others), but he had one blitzer to contend with. Fournette had six or seven guys collapsing our line. And the GIF you showed of Clyde was Bama desperately trying to get the ball. It did them no good at that point to tackle Clyde.

Those GIFs you showed of Fournette are brutal evidence of our mediocre offensive line get absolutely manhandled. In the 2019 game our offensive line manhandled Alabama.

Every single one of Clyde’s five offensive line made NFL rosters. Four won starting jobs in their rookie camps! Read that sentence again. FOUR!

That 2011 RB room was insane.


Except Les and Cam had no idea how to use it. Ware is in, play is up the middle. Ford is in, play is to the outside.
