Impressive guess Abe.

Derrick Henry
Ezekiel Elliot
Mark Ingram

That's just from the last 10 years.

It’s Herschel and he is considered a top 5 all time player, so if that is your cut off a)yes it’s Walker and b) this question is completely irrelevant

You didn't say same class, you said last great running back.

How are you defining great? This looks pretty good to me..

Ingram and Henry won because of saban and bama. Not near the same class.

Zeke or Bush... Bama doesn't have great backs imo just big backs running behind a big holding offensive line

Yeah, and you're only alive because your mom gave it up. Considered that?

I would add Reggie Bush to that list. He was pretty phenomenal in college. Does it count if USC had to vacate the championship?

Well that's a stupid point.

#1 determining factor has always been and will always be QB play.

Now, name me the last national championship team that didn't have a great running back?
