Herschel Walker or Bo.


This^^^. Those 2 did it when defenses knew the run was coming 60 to 70% of the time.

While Derrick Henry is incredible and in the discussion, defenses couldn’t key on him due to more prolific passing offenses.

Agree on that. I’d put McFadden with them but slightly behind for obvious reasons, but EVERYONE knew we were running and it was him 60%-70% of the time no matter where he lined up.

You do realize he had Jake Coker as his QB right? The year before that, it was Blake Sims. His Freshman year it was AJ, but he didn't get many carry's.

Sims was cut by the CFL after 1 week. Coker made it a little further, he wasn't drafted, but signed with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent and lasted almost 2 months before getting cut on the 75 man roster(long before the final cut).

I've never heard Blake Sims and Jacob Coker described as prolific passers. Congrats on being the first, i guess.
