Good point. I'd say with some confidence that Sims was better (or at least as good as) any back at NU in the past 3-5 years. He just happened to be around when the talent was unreal.I am going to have to say
Joe Ganz
but Jay Sims, was the best running back to rarely see the field. He just happend to be at NU the same time as Phillips, Green, Benning, and a couple of others
