Gore was part of the 2001 Miami Football national champions. That team has been called the greatest in College Football History. It would be hard to argue that Miami had the greatest group of running backs in the history of college football that season.
Gore might have been the most talented in the group that season. He was second on the team with 562 yards rushing on just 62 carries. That’s an obscene 9.1 yards per carry. Gore also ran for nine touchdowns.
He backed up Clinton Portis who ran for 1,200 yards and ten touchdowns.
