Duke beat Clemson when Terry Allen was the best running back to ever play at Clemson.

I'm sorry but I think Travis Etienne replaced him and all the others. Even over CJ which I never would've thought possible.

That leads me to the question of the day for TNET. Who was the better back

I'm glad you didn't make CJ one of the options because then I would have actually had to think about it.

ETN more versatile & a rocket when seeing an alley..

but Terry was more fluid and equally eye-opening when he galloped loose down the field.

Saw both which was a treat & privilege.

Go TiGERS..ROCK 2023!

I THINK that the only time Terry Allen fumbled was on the play that he got hurt.

It is a tie.

Great questions and tough call. Two different style offenses, but I would lean to ETN.

Terry Allen. Dude tore his ACL in both knees and still played at a pro bowl level.

Besides it's early yet for this comparison.

ETN is just now getting rolling

After 5 years let's revisit

Allen had 8600 in the NFL back when yards were tougher


Aug 31, 2023, 5:53 PM

to come by. The dude was just a player. As a pure Rb, Allen was better than CJ. But ETN is right there, no doubt about it.

I posted it. Always nice seeing Terry discussed.***

One of my first memories of him is against FSU...

Terry Allen was one of my favorites too. One of the first games I remember watching on TV was Clemson at FSU, 1989. Terry had some good TDs that game, including an awesome breakaway run for a TD.

Here are some highlights form that glorious game:

What is Bowden saying to Danny at the end of the game?

That didn't look like a "nice to see you again" chat.

Terry was tough as nails, but he did not possess the power


Aug 31, 2023, 4:49 PM

and leg drive of Travis. He did make the most of his gifts, though, and had a good NFL career.

Terry Allen. Probably my favorite game of all time was when he single-handedly took Clemson down the field on a long & final drive vs GA at Clemson. Inside or outside - it didn't matter. A smaller Bary Sanders. CJ was probably the best outside but was outside only. Flowers & Flagler were outstanding outside also. Ellington was the best inside followed by Ship. Will Shipley is the best at making something out of nothing.
