We ask, you answer.
Real simple one here today: Who was the Big Ten's best running back of the 1990s?
Tell us on Twitter. Your responses so far:
@psukardi Best Big-10 RB of the '90s? Ki-Janna of course. He was a homerun threat every touch
@cdavis20000 Ron Dayne.
@elevenwarriors Gotta be Eddie G
@MarkChurchill He doesn't compare to the 2 Heisman winners or the #1 overall pick, but the Hamner argument: 3,810 yds on a bad Minn team
@MarkChurchill 1) Dayne (Wis) 2) George (OSU) 3) Wheatley (Mich) 4) Carter (PSU)-higher if he played 4 yrs 5) Hamner (Minn) 6) Alstott (Pur)
@ttuesday gotta go with Eddie George with Ron Dayne a close second!
@dbaltman Give me Alstott. He had a LOT less talent around him than either Eddie George or Dayne. Also, I'm a homer.
@PSUSportsSteph Couldn't agree more! Honestly, I do think Ki-Jana Carter gets overlooked because Penn State was new to the conference.
@TimCary re: factors against K-J Carter-I think even if we're talking strictly college, the NFL careers become a factor subconciously.
@asievers Sedrick Shaw
@CoryStinebrink Ron Dayne was the best Big 10 running back of the 90s.Not if you include NFL careers, but certainly hard to argue against him
@hass54 Ron Dayne
@BetweenTheLions Carter in 93, 1026 yds 7 td. In 94 1539, 23 tds, 7.8 ypc and 2nd in Heisman. More imp Psu went 22-2 in those two yrs.
@krmcguire What I'm saying is either Collins or Carter would have won the Heisman if they didn't split the PSU vote.
@snydermatt If I say Howard Griffith, is he more excited about being considered great or that he belongs in the 90's and not 80's
@krmcguire Ki-Jana Carter would have won the Heisman if he wasn't pulled in the 4th quarter in blowouts and Kerry Collins wasn't there.
@ttturner68 Mike Alstott is a Future NFL Hall of Fame'r. Won a Superbowl and was the most dominat back I ever watched in college.
@themuhmeshow Tyrone Wheatley, Biankabutuka, Perry >> Ki-Jana Carter
@rachbry5 Don't know if there is an argument vs. Dane/George (both Heismen winners)....
@WesleyOnline Dayne: 1st player to amass 7,000 + yards, shares the NCAA record for most 200 + yard games, Big Ten rushing/TD records (71).
@xanderer (I think more so because his pro career was such a disaster.) #kijana
@djmontag Ron Dayne EXCEPT when he played vs. Michigan. Michigan made him look ordinary, except for one long gain.
@rachbry5 What about Tyrone Wheatley or Tim Biakabutuka. Not great NFL careers but GREAT CFB/Big Ten players.
@mrose05 My fault! Had a little bit of a brain cramp there...I'm going Eddie George
@BetweenTheLions Ki-Jana Carter or Curt Enis, anyone? Hard to argue with Dayne or George though.
@TimCary Honestly then, I would probly rank both George & Dayne up there. Of course, hard 2 tell b/c PUR could never tackle good RBs;)
@TimCary re: Alstott/George/Dayne discussion- U mean you're going to pull that whole "be unbiased and think logically" stuff on us? :)
@312WolfmanPSU Ki-Jana Carter! Would have won the Heisman if the votes weren't split between him and Kerry Collins. People forget this.
@mlebowski313 Eddie George....He's got the statue to prove it
@feetforlove I have to go with Dayne
@mazenblu Dayne... and you could throw Anthony Thomas into the mix - though he played into 2000
@xanderer Tie between Eddie George and Ki-Jana Carter. Both were superhuman—speed, balance, field vision. Dayne was a one-trick pony
@dyopchick My vote is for Dayne. No one was more intimidating in the backfield.
@bucksinsider Eddie George hands down.
@BurtonRider85 Mile Alstott!
@WesleyOnline Ron Dayne. Heisman trophy, 2 Rose Bowl trophies, NCAA rushing record.
@BrentBishop I'm going Eddie George of OSU
@pseroogy Ron Dayne no question
@mraike Obviously Eddie George
@TomokoHosaka Darnell Autry! Go Cats!
@dtdbob3 Eddie. Eddie. Eddie. Go Bucks!
@ryanmathre Ron Dayne would have to top the list...right?
@TimCary Mike Alstott. Not sure if we loved him most b/c his talent was so incredible or b/c rest of program was so pathetic @ time!
