Classic Tailback - Darren McFadden & Co. Arkansas Highlights

A compilation of some of Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, and Peyton Hillis' highlights at the University of Arkansas. The trio of spectacular runners complimented each other perfectly, with each runner bringing a different set of skills to the table. Easily the best backfield of the last decade, their collective skills were so great that the Hogs didn't even need to use a quarterback for large chunks of games.

One of the best backfields in NCAA history.

[@fahimscott6172]

Indeed

[@rocktown5014]

No doubt -- two first round NFL Draft picks and another that made the Madden cover after going pro -- there was certainly no lack of talent between the three of them. Having played high school ball against Hillis, I feel a certain nostalgic wonder about this particular backfield too. Not to mention the fact that I still have my original DMac Heisman-candidate jersey as well, even if it's faded a bit. We may be getting older, but McFadden's career lives on as one of the best all-time in SEC history, amongst some of the great running backs to ever play the game. #WPS

[@calebcone4330]

As soon as the 2007 South Carolina game came on, I knew it would last a while. As a team Arkansas rushed for 541 yards that day. DMC set the SEC single game rushing record at 321 yards. Both he and Felix Jones passed 1,000 yards for the season on that game, McFadden becoming the second SEC back to ever rush for 1,000 yards in three seasons. The only other running back being Herschel Walker who is also the only running back with more rushing yards than McFadden in SEC history. Arkansas’ Alex Collins became the third to ever accomplish the feat this past season, and Leonard Fournette is looking to accomplish it this year, but it stood for a while, and I think McFadden has the second best career at running back in SEC history, Bo Jackson (even if he has more talent) coming in at third. DMC’s career line against South Carolina (three games): Recieving: 4 receptions, 10 yards Passing: 1/1, 23 yards, TD Rushing: 91 carries, 727 yards, 7.989 ypc, 3TD 760 total offense, 4 TDs.

[@PockyCandy]

Darren McFadden owned SC. And at times, I wondered if Arkansas shouldn't have just put McFadden at QB full-time. He was pretty good at it. I do think that Leonard Fournette is a better runner than McFadden, as they are similar runners stylistically, but Fournette is bigger and doesn't fumble constantly.

[@drcriesalot2687]

Imagine being a linebacker and seeing those three guys in the backfield.

[@jimhanratty9543]

Hills very good blocker. Great backfield.

[@Ginga]

9:44 Accelerated away from LaRon Landry, who ran sub-4.4 at the Combine. Lowered the shoulder on him the next run. McFadden was ridiculous.

[@SSTOMS]

YES MY RAIDERS WASTED HIM. IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DMC VS AP

[@joshcollins8727]

Best Trio in College Football History!

[@Lakeshow11]

Josh Collins that’s a tough call

[@kendrickjones3115]

Bo "Big Train" Jackson, Lionel "Little Train" James and Tommie Agee ...with Brent Fullwood waiting his turn. #Auburn

[@kendrickjones3115]

...or BILLY SIMS, Elvis Peacock and Kenny King ...even the quarterback Thomas Lott played professionally as a Running Back! They were OFF the CHAIN!!! #OU!

[@kendrickjones3115]

Joe Cribbs, William Andrews and James Brooks?!! #Auburn

[@nicholaswoods4055]

Nope but very good

[@BigSwo2909]

God I need to go back and watch Arkansas vs LSU their last year. What a game

[@NBAballToWalls]

The most exciting ark team ever.

[@slattermerslab5535]

These boys were hell to deal with

[@chiefkeeneonthedream3208]

That impact at 2:30!! He loved the contact!!

[@archielee8218]

They ROBBED McFADDEN of HEISMAN !!!

[@lifebybill1326]

McFadden should have been the 2nd player ever to win back to back Heisman trophies..... Archie Griffith being the 1st and only

[@smilton90]

The run at 15:27 was actually Michael Smith. He had 1000 yards the year after these three left

[@jeremywillis4532]

Mike smith from Tallahassee Fl went to my high school 💯💯💯💯

[@derrickennemer5507]

I feel Hillis doesn't get enough credit, fact is, on almost every big play McFadden and Jones ever had , it was especially thanks to Hillis.

[@emaricarter4885]

True

[@Kevgslo84]

RUN DMC!

[@SouthernThoughts]

We had the top three running backs in the country all at Arkansas

[@PockyCandy]

This was originally going to be just a Darren McFadden video, but I was like "Why not include his two Razorback buddies while I'm at it?" So that's how you ended up with this 27 minute monstrosity. And I used to think that Gary Danielson and Verne Lundquist have gotten worse over the years. Nope, they've always been trash, or at least Gary.

[@jeebs9]

PockyCandy watching this I just thought about the Wildcat. How they popularized it.

[@furbabydaddy5604]

Who were the receivers on that team?

[@Darknamja]

Well done. 👀

[@calebcone4330]

Thanks so much for the video!

[@vihockeyguy1]

Nothing from 2005 for these backs or Peyton Hillis' freshman year in 2004, but great video

[@lifebybill1326]

Without question, the best backfield in NCAA history! Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis would have been a featured back at any Power 5 school in the country, but because they were behind Mcfadden, they were 2nd and 3rd.... imagine the production of Jones at 7.7 yds a carry had he been solo.... crazy talent!!

[@michaelsimons4102]

Damn Shame Hillis never got any awards

[@internalthoughted1721]

dmac was another breed

[@chadwhite4236]

Whatever that system quarterback's name was that played at Florida, he needs to mail McFadden's Heisman trophy to him!!!!

[@markprince3447]

can you do cj2k?

[@PockyCandy]

I will if I can ever find enough footage to do one. I swear, CJ1K games are rarer than Glenn Davis games!

[@Ginga]

4:18 Patrick Willis on the tackle

[@bigkfromtx9526]

my bad can you please do my personal favorites growing up as a kid....Cj Spiller, Beanie Wells, Dexter McCluster, Jahavid Best & Daniel Herron

[@PockyCandy]

You must be close to my age if those are the running backs that you grew up watching. I'm not sure if I'll do any of those any time soon, since I already have an epic backlog of videos to make as is.

[@PockyCandy]

The Lozzman Ok, so you're a tad bit younger than me. Also, it's probably a good idea NOT to reveal your age on the internet.

[@bigkfromtx9526]

my bad

[@bigkfromtx9526]

please CJ Spiller Highlights

[@GeneralAfrika]

Great video, thanks a lot. Could you do a Lawrence Phillips video?

[@PockyCandy]

Didn't he kill a guy? I'm not sure I want to make a video about Lawrence Philips since he's so notorious (same with OJ Simpson).

[@GeneralAfrika]

what about larry Johnson penn state

[@GeneralAfrika]

or ron dayne

[@PockyCandy]

General Afrika Ron Dayne should get one at some point. Larry Johnson already has a great video made by a Penn State fan somewhere on youtube.

[@BreuckelensFinest]

LP killed a man in prison in self defence. In fact I just finished watching his documentary about 40 minutes ago, that's how I know.

[@derrickennemer5507]

If they'd have made Hillis a tight end, he'd still be playing, change my mind?

[@ryanrice4030]

Have you ever seen so many horse collar tackles

[@jodybailey7179]

Cadillac Williams, ronnie brown, Brandon Jacob's. 2003

[@yunstarr502]

imagine mcfadden at qb full time

[@grantatwood8579]

One guy got robbed of the heisman, another guy was on the cover of madden and the other one runs a 4.4 deadliest backfield ever

[@doodad77]

Wild hog😆

[@juliusRnumba15]

James Davis and Cj Spiller.!!!!!! Please

[@americanlee6409]

been a hog fan a long time and iam sick of the SEC officials and getting the raw end on the football field.Man i pray everyday we will leave the SEC and go elsewhere...HECK ANYWHERE IS BETTER imo coz we have a better chance of getting to the top somewhere where we are not cheated out of games.Plz if u think iam wrong i will gladly tell u although iam running out of space on this comment.ARKANSAS LETS GET OUT OF THE SEC WHILE WE CAN AND GO TO BIG 12!

[@LC-ou812]

There's Dickerso There's DMAC Pick your poiso

[@LC-ou812]

Hogs started the wild hog Look it up Felix from TULSA

[@mr.wallace2022]

Its crazy that none of the three had a successful NFL career

[@williamcalvert1957]

And Hillis ended up being the closest.

[@MrHogGamer]

McFadden played for like ten years. The average time for a RB in the NFL is a few years.

[@mrlockuup9926]

@@MrHogGamer yup rbacks get so old during the young years due to all the contact they get

[@jlking8724]

@@williamcalvert1957 Hillis had one good year, McFadden had 2

[@blackroseMD1]

McFadden played longer and had a better career than both Tim Tebow and Troy Smith, who each won the Heisman over him. He had a couple of thousand yard seasons and managed to stay in the league for a decade. Felix Jones was in the NFL for six years, five with the Cowboys, and was a good depth piece in that Cowboys backfield. Peyton Hillis was in the league for 7 years, broke 1000 yards rushing one year, as a Fullback, and made the cover of Madden. I'd say those are all pretty successful careers.
