Cliff Austin and Chuck McSwain were a good duo. Mack played a lot of FB in college.
Lester Brown and Warren Ratchford were also a good combo.

I wonder about in the history of the NFL and college football as a whole.

Yep. Always like Wesley. Danny ended up moving him to FB.

T.Allen at TB and T.Johnson at FB was the best on-the-field-at-the-same-time duo for us.
Lightening (TB running the ball) and Thunder (FB blocking thunder).

Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas

played together for 2 years at OK State. Going way back, Jim Brown and Ernie Davis at Cuse.
Those two would be tough to beat, but there have been some other insane RB rooms.
SMU Pony Express
2001 Miami had Frank Gore, Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee and Najeh Davenport. That's 3 future elite NFL RBs plus another solid NFL back on the same roster.
Darren McFadden and Felix Jones at ARK.
Lendale White and Reggie Bush at USC.
Chubb, Michel, and Swift at UGA
Cadillac Williams and Ronny Brown at Auburn

All of those are good!
Brings back lots of great memories.
Emory Smith was pretty good too but I can’t remember who else he shared the backfield with.

You need to clarify your question...
Apr 30, 2025, 4:57 PM
|

Are you talking two tailbacks that probably weren't on the field at the same time or a tailback and fullback that were on the field at the same time.

Austin and Mack were great in an offense that very rarely threw the ball. Probably need to add Homer with them since the option was a regular play at the time.
