GCMB Poll: Most dangerous UF running back ever

[78]

Honestly, I think that is exactly the opposite. His marginal passing was made better by their utter fear of his running game. There aren't any QBs and few RBs who can HURT All SEC LBs and strong safeties and run through 2 or 3 like clockwork.

Correct answer is Fred but Nat Moore deserves a little love in this thread.


Alex.

He hit a lot of big passes on third and short when everyone sucked into the box and he threw long.

Marginal passing? Tebow was literally tied with Sam Bradford in their college passing records
In fact Bradford had almost 1000 fewer passing yards, both had 88 passing touchdowns and a 67% avg in college
Tebows avg pass was just under 10 yds per attempt
I may make Tebow 1a and Taylor 1b

Passing skill. He wasn't real accurate, didn't read protections real well, and his motion was

S

L

O

W

His productivity was excellent of course.

My point was that his running helped his passing, not the other way around.... IMO.

67 % avg with 16 total interceptions isnt accurate? Thats over 4 years. Dont say nothing about his motion

That's not a measure of accuracy. When your receivers are running 3-5 steps behind the DBs because the DBs bit on the fake run, you don't have to be particularly accurate to complete the pass.

This says it all:

Larry Dupree was a badazz. Larry Smith, too. Nat Moore came out of nowhere. Was driving a truck in Miami playing basketball for Miami Dade Jr college. Wasnt even in the first program. Then is All SEC back that year. My picks are Johnell and Neal ANderson.

I would mention Nat Moore. Alex and Coach cited him in a post above. He broke the Gator single season rushing record in 1972. Moore transferred to UF as a junior and he had some injuries that plagued him his senior season. He was a very exciting runner who broke a lot of long runs and was the kind of runner that fans were just waiting for him to take it to the house.

I interpret "dangerous" in reference to a running back as a back who could break a long run in contrast to a dependable move the chains type of runner who could pound the rock. Of course if you want to talk about really "dangerous" running backs, don't forget Adam Lane in the Birmingham Bowl. To paraphrase Bill Clinton it all depends on what the meaning of "dangerous" is. Nobody could (would?) touch that guy.

Larry Dupree out of Macclenny was bad ass, no doubt about that. Led the SEC in rushing.

Chris Rainey was one of our most dangerous. Guy could house it at any time and his YPC was amazing.

Freddy T and Percy (if allowed) would get the nod for me though.

Larry Dupree out of Macclenny was bad ass, no doubt about that. Led the SEC in rushing.

As a junior in 1963, Dupree's wife delivered the couple's first child stillborn two days before the Georgia game. After staying up all night, Dupree received a police escort on game day. He gained 74 rushing yards and 34 receiving yards to lead the Gators to a 21-14 victory over Georgia.[5]

After his senior year, he was selected by the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) as a first-team player on its 1964 College Football All-America Team.[6] In April 1965, his home town of Macclenny, Florida, held a parade and "Larry Dupree Day" with 3,000 persons attending in honor of the town's All-American. At the event, Florida coach Ray Graves said he could take no credit for Dupree who was "simply born great," and state senator Walter Fraser called Dupree "one of the greatest young men the state has ever produced." In brief comments to the crowd, Dupree called it "the greatest day of my life", expressed thanks to coach Graves, and called Macclenny "the greatest place in the world to live."[7]

Dupree was the first Florida running back to receive first-team All-America honors. He was also the first Florida player to receive first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) honors three times.[8]

You are very olde, aren't you? I admit I don't remember 1963.
