Where does Tommy fall in our list of running QBs? Not passing, mind you. Feet only. Here's my list. (YouTube highlights of each guy in LINKs.)

#1 Taylor Martinez. LINK Played hurt most of the last couple years. But when he was healthy he was a threat to take it to the house on every play.

#2 Tommy Armstrong. LINK LINK Doesn't have the breakaway speed of Martinez or Crouch, but bigger and stronger. Look at how much of our offense TA's feet produce.

#3 Eric Crouch. LINK Dude was fast. And, pound for pound, one the toughest guys we've had at QB. Did I mention how fast he was?

#4 Tommie Frazier. LINK Okay, I know a lot of folks will have Tommie higher on this list. After all, he had The Run[SIZE=12pt]—[/SIZE]the single greatest play in cfb history. But, JMHO.

#5 Jamal Lord. LINK Most underrated running QB in Husker history. Dude was a baller. He could move the rock. Maybe should be higher on this list?

Who ya got for top five? (Or top ten? or whatever?)

Note: Lots of NSFW f-bombs in the lyrics of those LINKed youtube highlights.

In terms of running ability of our pure options QBs:

1. Crouch - The gold standard.

2. Martinez - His injuries really derailed his career.

3. Frazier - Not as fast as the top 2, but more instinctual.

4. Frost - Was a maestro at running the option, especially timing his pitches. A bulldozer.

5. Lord - Very underrated. Broke most of Crouch's records.

 
Top Running QB:

Crouch

Martinez - without the injuries, he's on top.

Frazier

Frost

Lord

Top Option QBs (Cdog mentioned Frost's ability to pitch at a perfect time) would be a different list:

Frazier

Gill

Frost (first three are very close)

Taylor

Crouch
