I don't "start arguments." The other poster denigrated one of IU's best all-time running backs who gave his heart and soul to the Hoosiers for three years. Danc was wrong about Scott, so are you, and I explained to him how and why he was wrong by informing him of the lofty spot Scott occupies in a number of important program history categories. I responded with facts, not invective, which Danc seems to thrive on. (He blew up another thread yesterday by calling one of the most solid posters here a p*ssy).
Part of the reason Scott's rushing numbers dropped a bit is because the coaches got him more involved in the passing game, but the primary reason is because he played in fewer games his sophomore season (he got hurt), and in only 8 games his junior (final) season because IU played only 8 games. By your bizarre logic, and Danny's, you could argue his production for IU dropped dramatically in 2021, notwithstanding the fact that he wasn't even on the roster.
Conference coaches who, along with a select media panel, know a helluva lot more about the players than you and I, picked Scott as honorable mention All-Big Ten his freshman year, and then awarded him an even higher honor his sophomore and junior seasons by selecting him Second Team All-Big Ten. They obviously didn't perceive any dropoff in the quality of his play.
Finally, I'm not sure what your deal is. You don't seem to be particularly active on the board, yet you drop these bombs from time to time, and you've targeted me before. If my posts bother you so much, you might be better off putting me on ignore.
No, I'm describing SC exactly. He had size but suffered underwhelming power, slow footed, not enough leg strength to push through arm tackles and only marginal balance. Simply Mike Hart polishing his resume by prioritizing his recruit. I list Jordan Howard a 9 out of 10 in B1G. Scott maybe a 4. He fell on a lot of opponents and ran over a very small # of opponents.

Liar. I never said he was mediocre. You guys love to set up a strawman of things I never said and then argue that point.
It's a sign of low intellect.
1. Anthony ThomPson (edited - thanks 76-1)
2. Alex Smith
3. Mike Harkrader
4. Tevin Coleman
5. Jordan Howard.
6. John Isenbarger
7. Levron Williams
8. Vaughn Dunbar
9. Benjarvis Green-Ellis
10. George Taliafaro
Courtney Snyder is one I would possible put in the Top 10. Lonnie Johnson is also a possibility.
Not in that order
I've seen 9 of them play. And if anyone wants to argue Taliafaro isn't in the Top 10, then have at it.
It's not asinine at all to not consider him a Top 10 RB at IU.

Sorry..., just couldn't help myself... 🤣
Like I said..., better me then a few others... 😉😀
You said he was decent his first year and production went down every year after.
Excuse me if you can't muster up enough of the English language to get your point across accurately.
DANC is Reinstated as an Official INDIANA Fan (whew...(!) that was a close one!)... 😳
Anthony ThomPson thanks you...😉😄🍺

You left out Courtney Snyder and Lonnie Johnson. IMHO replace Williams and Green-Ellis. Maybe squeeze Ken Starling in there somewhere as well.
Looks like we've Both temporarily lost our Fan cards...
I'm going back for an Edit to regain mine (I'm glad I checked my Ignore group 😎) ...
How embarrassing... 😔 Sorry George 😔
You got me (twice). I'm not bothering to edit...
I declare you the Football Forum Winner on 12/10/21...
That and whatever Starbucks is charging these days will get you a cup of coffee...
https://hoosierhuddle.com/all-americans I see 10-11 IU running backs on this list. Scott is not one of them.

Good looking list. The only one I may consider removing is Jordan Howard. Understand; I am NOT degrading his talent or results at all! I think he was the best combination of power and speed we've ever had at IU. I just find it hard to anoint him top 10 all time when in reality he only played about half a season; but what a half it was!
I thought about that. But in terms of effectiveness when he was in, he'd be in my top 5, I think. I'd put him right there with AT, Mike Harkrader, and Alex Smith.
It still kills me Alex Smith didn't play his redshirt Senior year.
