LSU football all-time roster: Offensive starters and backups

See which legends made the cut in our all-time LSU football roster, starting with the offensive starters and backups.

Though perhaps best known for the defensive superstars it has produced, LSU has seen no shortage of offensive talent come through Baton Rouge.

This has been even more true in recent years, as the 2019 team alone featured some of the best offensive players the Tigers have ever had. But if you look at the totality of this program’s history, where do the top offensive players land?

We’ve tried our hand at putting together LSU’s all-time two deep, beginning with the offensive side of the ball. Who made the cut for the Tigers?

Penn State football all-time roster: Offensive starters and backups

See which legends made the cut in our all-time Penn State football roster, starting with the offensive starters and backups.

Penn State may be more known traditionally for its lineage of linebackers and star defensive players, but there has been a wealth of talent to come through Happy Valley over the years from the offensive side of the football. In fact, there has been so much talent on offense over the course of the history of the program that some very notable players may not even make the cut on a two-deep roster of Penn State’s all-time offensive roster.

Putting together the all-time offense led to some tough decisions. Perhaps the toughest may have been the omission of one of Penn State’s more recent offensive stars, running back Saquon Barkley. And leaving quarterbacks who led the team to a pair of national championships took a little bit of internal debate before coming to a final decision.

Check out the all-time offense for Penn State below and check out the rest of our continuing Penn State coverage on Nittany Lions Wire.

Auburn football all-time roster: Offensive starters and backups

See which legends made the cut in our all-time Auburn football roster, starting with the offensive starters and backups.

There is a storied history when it comes to the Auburn Tigers football program, especially on the offensive side of the ball.

The first players that often come to mind are Pat Sullivan, Cam Newton, and Bo Jackson. Each of the three players won a Heisman Trophy while playing on the Plains.

But who are the best of the best when it comes to the offense? Auburn Wire put together our all-time 2-deep offensive roster.

Oregon football all-time roster: Offensive starters and backups

See which legends made the cut in our all-time Oregon football roster, starting with the offensive starters and backups.

The Ducks may not have the thick history books of schools like Ohio State or Alabama, but when it comes to recent success, there are few teams with a resume like Oregon.

There’s a Heisman Trophy winner, multiple trips to the national championship game, and endless records thanks to Chip Kelly and his literal game-changing blur offense that helped make Oregon a national brand.

To help celebrate that brand, we wanted to look back into the history books and try to put together an all-time roster. In a collaborative effort, the entirety of USA TODAY’s College Wire sites did the same, and we will see who’s all-time team stands the strongest.

Let’s start with the offense. Here’s a look at the Ducks Wire all-time offensive starters and backups:

Florida football all-time roster: Offensive starters and backups

See which legends made the cut in our all-time Florida Gators football roster, starting with the offensive starters and backups.

Florida football has a rich history of success on the offensive side of the line of scrimmage stretching back to the late 1960s when head coach Ray Graves assembled one of the best all-time teams to take the field for the Gators. Since then, three Heisman Trophies have arrived in Gainesville while another UF alumnus earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Over the years, there have been other players who made an indelible mark on the Gators as well despite the changes in eras. A lion’s share of them came during the various peaks of the program though some of them managed to make their mark by sheer brute determination during down years.

Take a look below at the starting lineup along with the backups for our all-time greatest Gators on offense.
