The best running backs in Baylor history: Who takes the crown, Shock Linwood or Walter Abercrombie?

Who is the best running back in Baylor history? The new rushing champ in program history was crowned a year ago, taking the record from man who held it for 35 years.

5. Jerod Douglas

The 1990s were a dark time for Baylor football, with the program never finishing with more than five wins. But Douglas was a bright spot, especially in 1995 when he rushed for 1,114 yards and eight touchdowns.

4. Terrance Ganaway

Ganaway makes the list because he had the single greatest rushing season in Baylor history. In 2011 he set program records for single-season rushing yards (1,547) and touchdowns (21).
