3 things wrong with this list...

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0708/top20.running.backs.cfb/content.1.html

1) Charles is not, I repeat, "NOT" better than Goodson...

2) J-Train is not on this list....

3) J-Train is not ahead of Charles....

Wow, Charles at #9. No way a guy that asked his coaches to be taken out of the game in big game situations should be on any list of great RBs. He might be good, but he is nowhere near the top 20.

Agreed.....

When did he asked to be taken out of a game? Not arguing, just never heard that before....

If I am not mistaken, it was against Ohio State.....

It was in just about every game. I had never heard it before either, but Greg Davis talked about it in an interview on Austin radio last week. He was talking about how much Charles has matured since last year and how he is ready to be the feature back. He said that he does not expect Charles to be asking to be taken out of games in big situations like he did last year. They then had Charles on the radio and he said the same thing. He said that he was not ready for those types of situations in the past, but he thinks he is now. If I were a sip fan, I would be terrified if my feature RB didn't like getting the ball in pressure situations.

Compare this to how Lane felt about not getting the ball....

Was thinking the same thing.....

Winners want the ball when the game is on the line.

Stephen McGee and Jorvorskie Lane define the above statement...
