When I think of Oregon running backs's historically,

[woundedknees]

favorite plays like this come to mind:

The Morris one is a classic, particularly because of how high profile a game it was. I am still partial to Jeremiah Johnson's wild run in the Civil War though. 3rd and 19 and he pretty much kills any hopes the Beavers have of making the Rose Bowl....breaking tackles, nearly fumbling the ball and holding on, stiff arming people, tight roping the sideline, wrapping the ball inside the pylon. That run had it all.

this and LaMike's run @ Tennessee are by far the most memorable to me. I remember the MM one too but i was so young for that

I have been around since Autzen opened, the year I entered high school, so have witnessed some dandy Ducks. I figured it would be fun to see what sticks in people's memories!

JJ's turning back stiff arm on the beav the night we crushed them and their Rosebowl dreams....forever

Totally agree. Both of those were ridiculous.

Also Blount's hurdle touchdown against Boise, in person, was very memorable as well:

Onterrio Smith making a cut, I think vs. UCLA, and watching two defenders crash into each other, and DeAnthony vs. the cougs, turning the defender one way and then the other as he strolls into the end zone.

If Onterrio could have gotten out of his own way, he would have been the best NFL RB UO ever produced. To bad he couldn't.

I was actually gonna say, Onterrio Smith against the Cougars in 2001 was epic. Very memorable game.

If Reuben doesn't destroy his ankle I think he is right in that conversation, dude was an nfl running back even after losing all of his speed and explosivenss

That game was punctuated with him bowling over a defender as he went into the end zone.

Yeah, here is the video of Onterrio plowing his way in...

I remember buying my own Onterrio Vikings jersey off the internet and then like 2 months later he got caught with the whiz. Saw the jersey the other day actually, started wearing it to football practice after he got cut.
