Who are the pound-for-pound best running backs in Kentucky Football history?

Kentucky Football has had an up and down history, there is no disputing that. From Bear Bryant running the show, to a nearly empty Commonwealth Stadium against Vanderbilt in Joker Phillips’s last game as Kentucky’s head coach.

The Wildcats may have never been atop the mountain unless you consider 1950 (a claimed national championship, when deciding who was the best college football team was a lot more complicated than today) but my oh my has Kentucky had some talented running backs.
