My favorite RB from Bryant's teams is Cotton Clark from the early '60s. Hard to compare his stats with Wilbur, Tony N, Musso and such because the O was very different back than, and they only played a 10-game season + bowl game. All I know is, when Cotton got the ball, he knew what to do with it. Smooth runner that was hard to catch & bring down.
I've read about him, very solid RB with outstanding stats for 1962. After reading this, I would lean towards him over Wilbur Jackson owing to his incredible diversity as a RB. Thanks for the reminder.
At Alabama, he was 3 year lettermen as a halfback, fullback, safety, and punter. In 1962, he led the SEC and was second nationally with 92 total points. Most of these points were from 15 touchdowns which was an Alabama team record. He was also third nationally in punting at 42.5 yards per attempt and seventh in punt returns at 15.2 yards per return.
