[Hawkeyeinsoutherncalifornia]

I hate to wrestle this in my mind but the could of’s... after his 219 yard outburst against Mizzou ...I definitely think he could of won a few more games the following year..sucks he got caught up in all the crap which I still don’t know what happened in that case

He did come back after the Missouri game and ran for about 1400 yards the following season (2011)..

I did not remember the 1,400, but yes sir, it was 1,384, pretty impressive. He was one of those backs where 4/5 yard carries were the norm. He rarely got stopped for no gain/short gainers. Too bad.

The all Iowa Shoulda Coulda Woulda Skill Players Team:

QB: Dan McGwire or Nic Shimonek
TE: AJ Derby
RB: Marcus Coker
RB: Brandon Wegher
WR: Dominique Douglas
WR: James Cleveland
WR: Derreck Willies

Derrick Willies wasn't any good in an air raid offense in a shitty conference. Can we get over him already?

Really I rounded up 16 yards..

Unfortunately, not much chance he would have stopped that damn fake punt.

Two running backs I thought were going to be great that left due to off field issues Jewell and McCall. They were going to be special but didn’t do the right things off the field.

Jermelle Lewis should be at the top of that list.

Will never forget him against UM in the rain in '02. What could have been.

 

[2tightTshirt]

Calvin Davis should be on there over Willies

Good call, he played well his junior year then.....?????

He got hurt every running back got hurt in 2004. Heck even the fullback who switch to running back got hurt

He was ineligible one year if i remember.

 

[Hawkdome]

Dont forget snerd snorklewaud. 2012

 

[Cougar63]

Imagine if Shonn Greene came back in 2009. We'd probably be talking about the national championship to this day.

Calvin Davis graduated from Iowa. Redshirted and played 4 full seasons.

I was going with guys who never lived up to the hype. Not just ones who transfered out, my apologies
