Terry Allen: One of the best


Apr 21, 2019, 2:53 AM

Whomever you put at the top of the list, Terry Allen holds a special place
for Clemson fans. I've heard many say that he was their favorite.
He was one of the best

I agree - CJ7 !! Assume that was the 1989 FSU game ? Always wished he had returned for his senior year - think we would have won the 1990 game in the Valley.....,

If people were as good as their obituary - and products were as good as advertised - this would truly be a wonderful world !!


We didn't play FSU in '90***

'89 was Terry's payback!

He's in the top 2. CJ Spiller and TA. Take your pick.

TA had a little more help around him. ETN might end up being the best, but he has a lot of help.

IMO James Davis needs to be included in there.

ETN is the closest thing we've had to a pure running back


Apr 21, 2019, 4:27 PM

Since Terry Allen. Watch that play and tell me that doesnt look JUST LIKE ETN getting to the edge. TA21 was a squirmy thing at times too. You had better had put more than one arm on him if you wanted to bring him down. If his knees would have held together his NFL career would have been spectacular.

Agree! I loved watching Terry run!

Go Tigers!

Terry Allen was the best Clemson back of all time IMHO until CJ came along -- and CJ was a complete back. Danny Ford did not play RB's who could/would not block.

Without those two ACL surgeries (primitive by today's standards) who knows how many NFL yards Allen would have run for and his 8600 yds was nothing to sneeze at.

Many know this, but some may have forgotten. Allen gave back his knowledge of being a college and pro back to Gallman in 2015 when Allen returned to complete his degree at Clemson. It was then that Allen worked with Gallman, then Wayne Train went on to have that record setting season. Even in 2016, Gallman was a workhorse and instrumental in the National Championship. Gallman from then on was a different back after working with Terry.
