The RB draft thread reminded me of Joey Harris. Just thinking of that 2003 team with a homerun element and change of pace guy like Harris is pretty crazy.
So my question: Who was a more impactful loss:
-Joey Harris not being on the 2003 roster
-Kelly Butler not being on the 2004 roster
I'd say Harris/2003 because that Purdue team probably beats Bowling Green and maybe even @OSU with him and gets back to a Rose Bowl.
But Orton got the crap kicked out of him in 2004 and Butler would've gone a long, long way in helping there...although I don't think the 2004 team had near the talent or the ceiling that the 2003 team had anyways.
