#BACK IN TIME BARBER PRO#

Maroney and BarberвЂ™s stiffest competition comes from McFadden and Jones. White is currently on the Washington RedskinsвЂ™ roster and has never completed an NFL pass, while Slaton rushed for 1,896 yards in four seasons with the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins. The problem? Both Mountaineers found little success in the NFL. Which tandems provide Maroney and Barber competition for the title of best 21 st century collegiate running back duo? Only two other pairs have rushed for over 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons since 2000: West VirginiaвЂ™s Pat White and Steve Slaton and ArkansasвЂ™ Darren McFadden and Felix Jones.Д«ased solely on their collegiate stats, Slaton and White blow Barber and Maroney out of the water, as the Mountaineers ran for 5,349 yards in 20.

#BACK IN TIME BARBER PRO#

Barber played six years for the Dallas Cowboys and one for the Chicago Bears, rushing for 4,780 yards and being named to the 2007 Pro Bowl. Maroney went on to play four seasons for the New England Patriots and rushed for 2,430 yards behind Tom Brady.

ThatвЂ™s a two-season total of 4,934 yards for the two running backs. Maroney more than made up for his poor performance in 2003 as he ran for 145 yards and a touchdown, while Barber ran for 86 yards and threw a 21-yard touchdown. Maroney ran for 1,348 yards while Barber rushed for 1,269, and the Gophers beat the Wildcats 43-17 in week 4. Barber ran for 72 yards and 2 touchdowns, Maroney ran for 32 yards in limited duty, and Thomas Tapeh (a former Eagles and Vikings fullback) ran for 81 yards. Northwestern ran into this two-headed monster in week 6 and lost 42-17. In 2003, Barber ran for 1,196 yards while Maroney ran for 1,121. Maroney and Barber each rushed for over 1,000 yards in 20 and the Gophers went 17-8 over those two years. Marion Barber III and Laurence Maroney were Minnesota Golden Gophers at the same time. However, the Gophers might boast the best running back duo in the country since Y2K. 500 since the turn of the century, and has a 3-6 record in bowl games. Not much has gone right in the 21 st century for MinnesotaвЂ™s football team.
