In the sense of having a back like Julius, who could singlehandedly win games, like he did against WSU.

The Irish have had some good players, and some underused guys, and some injury-caused busts...but no great backs since Julius.

- Lemming: ND hasn't landed an impact back since Julius Jones? - ND_in_ATL - 9:58pm 5/7/12
  - Walker wasn't the "difference-maker" Jones could be. But I'd have rather had Walker. - jakers - 4:22pm 5/8/12

    - Couldn't you argue that many of our players suffered from that under those coaching staffs? - Chrisb - 6:39pm 5/8/12
      - Perhaps you could. - jakers - 11:15am 5/9/12
  - He has a point... - AAA - 3:43pm 5/8/12
    - I guess it depends on your definition of "impact" - ND_in_ATL - 4:06pm 5/8/12
      - You could make the argument that we haven't had an impact back since well before Jones. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 4:55pm 5/8/12
  - I think he's right - Chris94 - 11:00am 5/8/12
    - I agree, I think we have some guys on the roster now with the potential to become this... - Chrisb - 1:37pm 5/8/12
    - Agreed. - NedoftheHill - 11:26am 5/8/12
      - Right, but even he didn't do anything until his final season. [NT] - Chrisb - 1:39pm 5/8/12
        
        Agreed. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 4:40pm 5/8/12
    - Darius Walker - Flanner525 - 11:21am 5/8/12
      - Statistically, Darius Walker was just as good as Julius Jones. - ND_in_ATL - 11:52am 5/8/12
        
        I like walker a LOT, but.. - Chrisb - 1:46pm 5/8/12
        
        You have a selective memory... - ND_in_ATL - 3:26pm 5/8/12
        
        Davie seemed big into seniority, not spotting young talent. Givens comes to mind. - NedoftheHill - 4:45pm 5/8/12
        
        Spot on! Your pretty accurate for just a car salesman.. - Chrisb - 6:44pm 5/8/12
        
        No, you just don't understand what an impact player is.. - Chrisb - 4:31pm 5/8/12
        
        cierre more of a natural runner and has top end speed (purd game) - beefy78 - 12:35pm 5/8/12
        
        Which would you rather have? - Chris94 - 12:20pm 5/8/12
        
        Julius, 12 days a week!!! [NT] - Chrisb - 1:47pm 5/8/12
        
        The ole argument switch-a-roo - Flanner525 - 12:39pm 5/8/12
        
        Not necessarily - Chris94 - 1:11pm 5/8/12
        
        That's fine - Flanner525 - 1:22pm 5/8/12
        
        Ranking the unrankable is the essence of sports arguments - Chris94 - 1:57pm 5/8/12
  - Its simply a stupid comment . [NT] - seascapepro23 - 11:58pm 5/7/12
    - I agree. I think the comment is ridiculous. We have Wood, Riddick, Atkinson, Carlisle, Russell and - JDriveSthND - 9:38am 5/8/12
      - but none of the mentioned have been an impact player. is wood a breakaway runner who can score - whatsamataU - 11:39am 5/8/12
        
        You can be an impact player and not be a break away player. - seascapepro23 - 3:27pm 5/8/12
        
        I disagree that Wood isn't an impact RB, but my main point was the RB isn't our biggest need. - JDriveSthND - 12:48pm 5/8/12
        
        agree on that [NT] - whatsamataU - 3:14pm 5/8/12
        
        You are selling Wood short. - ND_in_ATL - 12:21pm 5/8/12
        
        " thus far." [NT] - whatsamataU - 2:47pm 5/8/12
