His son Christian was far from being just average. As was Art Best. But before Art, Notre Dame was loaded with average white backs. You have to go back to Nick Eddy, then all the way back to the Golden Boy who was more Quarterback than running back at ND.

Did I miss any (non-QB) running back in that time that was outstanding? Conjar?



Not outstanding, but AWB in that era.

Except for Gary, we had our share of slow running backs. No wonder Theismann ran for a bunch of yards.

The back we didn't mention was Rocky Blier but he was not that fast until he was wounded in Vietnam and rehabbed.
