He ran like crazy on some of the worst Tyrone Willingham UW teams of all time... Just look at the decade of UW RBs before Rankin to see what actual doing nothing looks like. Rankin is clearly head and shoulders above the decade of RBs before him and he is clearly head and shoulders above anyone outside of Gaskin, Sankey, and Polk who has come since.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

What a fucking decade+ of great college RBs
only ended the streak with Barry Sanders 2.0 Salvon Ahmed who the TBS fucktards were clambering to get carries over Gaskin's JR and Sr seasons.
He is UW top 10 in career rushing and single game rushing and was top 10 single season before Gaskin came along and put his name up 3 times.
Rankin did it with Tyrone Willingham as HC, Jack Lockner as freshman QB, and an OL with Juan Garcia, Jordan White-Frisbee, Morgan Rosborough, and FUCKING Ben Ossai as starters on a 4-9 team.
Rankin was very good on a very bad team. -
He had his WTF? moments, but had a crazy legged gait and could make amazing cuts in traffic. Then he had breakaway speed to go with it. He was also a dangerous return man but was rarely used for it.Fire_Marshall_Bill said:

If Rankin had a little more of the toughness that Gaskin and Sankey had, and played for someone besides Willingham, he'd probably be remembered almost as fondly. He had similar talent. -
Rankin always looked like he would snap in half when he got hit. Good player, but I don’t think of him as anything close to one of the best RBs in Husky history.

@backthepack
Gaskin has 4 carries for 9.
Guy is still collecting an NFL check 3 years in. Hard to argue leaving early. -
What I remember from that game was that Shaq Thompson was balling.
