Thomas Dendy would be an interesting back in Spurrier's offense. He had some really good numbers, especially YPC, in a fairly balanced offense.

CAREER RUSHING STATISTICS
Season GP Att Yards TD YPC
1982 11 140 848 4 6.1
1983 11 133 763 6 5.7
1984 12 103 634 8 6.2
1985 11 118 560 6 4.7
Totals 45 494 2805 24 5.7

And Demetris Summers was equal to Latti's ability on the field; just not in the other aspects of being a student athlete.

Tough, hard nosed, great work ethic, and fully executes the system given to him.

Sorry you guys made it about race or size. I should have elaborated more.

Stanley or Brandon would have been great. They did an excellent job out of the backfield. If we had not had both of these guys at the same time, either of them could have been a 25-30 carry a game guy and would be a lot higher on our all time rushing list.

Don't really think Dendy would have been very good in a 1 back set. If you had to pick one from that era for this offense I would go with Hagood. He was much better after contact. You could hit him 2 yards deep and he was still going 2 or 3 yards. Dendy was more of the scat back in the veer.

Lol I agree with you for what it's worth. I actually think Brewer very well may have filled DiMarco's spot...he wasn't "small" by any means and it's not like he couldn't have put on more weight if his position was to be fullback.

George Rogers

Forget running backs, I would have loved to see Sterling play just one season under Spurrier...

Yea, that would be SICK. I think Ace Saunders (maybe Troy Williamson) is about the closest thing to Sterling we have had in terms of explosiveness and play-making ability so imagine what Ace can do/has done in Spurrier's offense...and multiply that by 1000. Hell Troy would have played his senior year for Spurrier (with Rice) had ne not entered the draft.

It is pretty pathetic that in an attempt to point out someone different than what was already named race had to come up. In Brewer we had a player that took a back seat to the "superstars" that couldn't stop being suspended but he showed tremendous receiving ability and versatility lining up in multiple positions. I just think Spurrier would have loved having a guy he could run so many different formations with and not have to change personnel.

I guess I should have simply repeated the same three names over again so someone wouldn't have felt the need to point out the "white guy".

Stanley Pritchett for me.

You need to apologize to Ryan Brewer, take a look at his career, and rethink that opinion. Brewer was a natural, coachable, tough, intelligent, and talented football player!

trapper82 · 12-14-2012, 04:11 PM

Brewer is one of the best Gamecocks to ever step foot on the field. The most talented? Far from it, but absolutely one of the best. I'd love to see one of the best on the field with our best coach.

I would love to see what Ace could do if he was 6" taller....

scfanz · 12-14-2012, 08:13 PM

I'd watch Big George anyday. He was a beast before there were beasts. Big George gained all his yards against defenses that had 8 and 9 men on the line. His QB, Gary Harper had no passing game. Having Big George run in an offense that had a verticle passing game to keep the defense honest would be awesome.

a few off the top of my head

Harold Green
Derrick Watson
Greg Welch
Demetris Summers

Injuries cut him short too. Thomas Dendy, Kent Haygood, underrated RB's for us. Dendy had a good burst.

Rebel4ever · 12-14-2012, 09:01 PM

Mike Dingle could have done well now. Not a great, great back but not a total bust either.

Rebel4ever · 12-14-2012, 09:02 PM

Troy Hambrick.

I eliminated George in the OP because he simply did not play in a modern offense where the passing game was part of his skill set.

Carolina22 · 12-15-2012, 03:36 PM

D. Summers
D. Watson

too bad they have a lot of baggage. But hey, CC Whitlock made it threw his senior year and Vic Hampton is still here...
