My favorite player was John Brockington. He was pretty much our offense then. First player to gain 1000 yards as a rb his first three years. After that though, he broke down and only lasted a couple of more years. When ever we played backyard football I wore his jersey. We didn't have another 1000 yard RB until Terdell Middleton in I believe 78.
Unlike the last few years when we didn't have 1000 yard RB's ( Lacy excepted) we didn't have a QB either.
I was just thinking about him as I was reading the thread and came upon your post! Brockington was a beast and I was thinking, "there were some positives out of those years".
