in the KF era to make it a full four years without ever missing time.

Here is the full list of RBs during the KF era, by year and the result:

2002 - Aaron Greving - Injured, quits team
2002 - Justice Hariston - fails to qualify

2003 - Jermelle Lewis - tears ACL for first time
2003 - Albert Young - tears ACL
2003 - AJ Johnson - Lasts 1 semester before being kicked off team

2004 - Shonn Green - fails to qualify
2004 - Fred Russell - Leaves early for NFL
2004 - Jermelle Lewis - 2nd ACL tear
2004 - Marcus Schnoor - tears ACL
2004 - Champ Davis - tears ACL

2005 - AIRBHG tricked when Damien Sims briefly moves to cornerback - is only Iowa running back in KF era to make it 4 years and graduate with no lost time.

2006 - Kalvin Bailey - flunks out after one year
2006 - Corey Robertson - flunks out after one year

2007 - Shonn Greene - flunks out and heads to Kirkwood to move furniture
2007 - Dana Brown - beats up girlfriend and kicked off team

2008 - Jevon Pugh - leaves after one year - Everson stink clings to him
2008 - Jeff Brinson - injures knee and redshirts
2008 - Nate Guillory - leaves one week into fall camp

2009 - Shonn Greene - leaves early for NFL
2009 - Jewel Hampton - tears ACL in fall camp
2009 - Jeff Brinson - injured after one carry
2009 - D'Andre Johnson - attacked by AIRBHG early by tearing ACL in HS

2010 - Jeff Brinson - quits team before spring ball - tears ACL at Cent Fla
2010 - Brandon Wegher - leaves team 1 practice into fall camp
2010 - Marcus Coker - breaks collarbone in fall camp
2010 - Jewel Hampton - tears ACL for 2nd time
2010 - Adam Robinson - concussion, academics, weed, kicked off team
2010 - Brad Rogers - out indefinitely after heart condition
2010 - Paki O'Meara - injured on special teams

2011 - Rodney Coe - fails to qualify
2011 - Mikail McCall - breaks ankle, comes back, suspended, transfers
2011 - Damon Bullock - fumbles, misses meeting, enters doghouse
2011 - Jordan Canzeri - hamstring forces significant missed time
2011 - Mike Malloy - AIRBHG strikes early, arrested and tears ACL in HS
2011 - Marcus Coker - suspended, misses bowl game, eventually transfers

2012 - Jordan Canzeri - supposed torn ACL in spring ball

By my count, there have been 27 running backs that have been attacked a total of 35 times by AIRBHG. That is simply unbelievable and defies any and all logic. We have had 27 running backs on campus under KF and only 1 has survived for 4 years unscathed. Holy $hit!!

I believe Fred Russell had a stress fracture in his foot that slowed him down late in 2002.
If I remember right Sims was out for quite a while in 2004 (high ankle sprain?)
I thought Jeff Brinson had foot surgery at one point for a bone misalignment?

White just anounced his transfer.
 
At first without seeing all this i was like oh whatever this AIRBHG stuff is funny but holds no weight.... Now after seeing all this I am a believer.
 
I'm confused, are Shonn Green and Shonn Greene 2 different Shonn Green(e)s?

I could be off here, and don't bite my head off, but I thought Sims got hurt in that '04 season as well.

Nope its all the same Shonne Green he just had multiple brushes with AIRBHG. Until finally in 2008 he fought back, and then AIRBHG struck us again and sent him to the NFL.
 
This really borders on the ludicrous. 1 running back in 13 years has made it to senior day unscathed. It's simply unfathomable. I challenge anyone to find a higher rate of attrition at any position on any team during this time period. I'd venture a guess that no other program or position even comes CLOSE to this.

Sims redshirt was pulled midway through that season or later because of the high ankle sprain Marquees Simmons suffered. Simmons needs to be added to the OP's list. I dont remember Sims missing any time.

2003- AY broke his leg.
2004- AY tore his ACL.
