Sometimes, you don’t have a long way to go in your memory files to come up with something. Other times, well, you have to look it up.
I had to look this one up, so I will present it in the form of a trivia question: Who was the last Florida running back to be named all-SEC?
Now you are the one racking your brain.
Obviously, it has been a while and it will be a while before I give you the answer. He is included in the latest Dooley’s Dozen as I bring you the 12 best running backs in Florida history.
This was not an easy list because some of the best running backs ever at UF were not technically running backs ([autotag]Tim Tebow[/autotag], [autotag]Percy Harvin[/autotag], [autotag]Wes Chandler[/autotag]) and others had injuries that shortened their careers (Nat Moore).
Before we get to the list, it is important to recognize the passing of former UF running back James Massey, who played during the late ’80s subbing for the first player on this list and starting when No. 1 was injured. He died in a car accident earlier this week.
Without further ado, here is this edition of Dooley’s Dozen, focusing on the 12 best backs in Gators history.
