DBU is up for debate, I think. Miami's been great at safety, but hasn't had many top flight NFL corners.

Texas, OSU* are up there for DBU, LSU recently. I'd like to see a breakdown of that.

A lot of these really depends on the time span that you specify. Personally I think its hard to claim any position without players that are currently active in the league at the position. If you have no active studs at the position then all your success are too far back to remember much like Tenn's WRs. We need some new blood to not just get to the league but ball out... most of our studs are from the early 2000 teams are either retired or on the decline. Currently we have a few good players but outside of TE we don't dominate any position..

RBs Rank by Career yards and TDs.

Rank Player (age) Yds Years Teams
11. Edgerrin James 12,246 1999-2009 3TM
15. Frank Gore (32) 12,040 2005-2015 2TM
28. Ottis Anderson 10,273 1979-1992 2TM
30. Clinton Portis 9,923 2002-2010 2TM
40. Willis McGahee 8,474 2004-2013 4TM
89. Chuck Foreman 5,950 1973-1980 2TM


Rank Player (age) TD Years Teams
18. Ottis Anderson 81 1979-1992 2TM
19. Edgerrin James 80 1999-2009 3TM
23. Clinton Portis 75 2002-2010 2TM
30. Frank Gore (32) 70 2005-2015 2TM
40. Willis McGahee 65 2004-2013 4TM
62. Chuck Foreman 53 1973-1980 2TM
81. Pete Banaszak 47 1966-1978 rai

After this list it's a big drop off to Cleveland Gary and Lamar Miller who only played 4 years...
We had a good run from 1999-2005 with Edge, Portis, McGahee, and Gore but not much NFL production outside of that.
Frank Gore was the only active back in the top 10 last season with 967 yards.
Lamar Miller (872 yards) had 8 TDs in 2015 good for 7 in the league. He and Duke need to step up and continue the legacy if we are going to in the conversation for RBU in the future.

A school like OU has a more recent claim with AP leading the league this year and Murray in 2014. They also has a longer history and can go back and list former pro bowlers like Greg Pruit (1973-84), Billy Sims (1980-84), Mike Thomas (1975-80), Joe Washigton (1977-85), Steve Owens (1970-74).

I swear I haven't laughed so hard in a long time! Really Tennessee? Really? There's no comparison.
 
How did they brain wash this guy? And why the heck is playing WR? Are they that desperate at the position?
