Here are the top 10 rushers in the SEC, by rushing yards per game:
1 Todd Gurley, Georgia: 68, 536, 9, 7.88, 107.20
2 Mike Gillislee, Florida: 69, 402, 5, 5.83, 100.50
3 Ladarius Perkins, Mississippi St.: 57,389,5, 6.88, 97.25
4 Rajion Neal, Tennessee: 103, 460, 4, 4.47, 92.00
5 Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M: 52, 366, 6, 7.04, 91.50
6 Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina: 92, 440, 8, 4.78, 88.00
7 Keith Marshall, Georgia: 52, 428, 5, 8.23, 85.60
8 Zac Stacy, Vanderbilt : 46, 341, 1, 7.41, 85.25
9 Jeff Scott, Ole Miss: 50, 317, 4, 6.34, 79.25
10 Kendial Lawrence, Missouri: 64,395, 5, 6.17, 79.00
Five observations:
1) Georgia's run game is nasty.
2) The guy at Vandy should get more carries.
3) Lattimore's numbers have been surprisingly mediocre.
4) Manziel is ridiculous.
5) Very surprising that only two backs are averaging over 100/game.

Hey, wait, Where are LSU's RB's? WTF? Todd Gurley wouldn't even play at LSU, I've been hearing. 
ETA: play.
ETA: play.

Sixth observation: UGA has 2 in the top 10

One more observation:
The nationally elite teams in the SEC use a "stable" of runningbacks.

After coming back less that a year from an ACL injury?!!?! What did you expect? He's still better than most of the SEC. Where's Kniles Davis, he had an injury 2 years ago?

Lattimore's numbers have been unsurprisingly just like his career stats
All these frickers laughed at me when I told them that he's was just a good back with a shite ton of carries.
I know, I know, injury, not 100%, planets not aligned, etc. etc.

He's still an excellent back who is only about 80% back from ACL. I don't doubt Spurrier is saving him some so that he doesn't give out 6 games into the year. Lattimore gets numbers by volume.

Here are the top 10 rushers in the SEC, by rushing yards per game:
Since 2008, Auburn and Alabama have pretty much dominated that top 10 list. In 2008, Glen Coffee was #2 and Ben Tate was #8. In 2009, Mark Ingram was #1, Ben Tate was #3, and Trent Richardson was #9. In 2010, Cam Newton was #1, Mike Dyer was #5, Mark Ingram was #10, Onterio McCalebb was #12, and Trent Richardson was #14. And in 2011, Trent Richardson was #1 and Mike Dyer was #2.

Not really. Depth is ridiculous on the top teams in the conference, and duty is split.

Also to consider in this equation, UGA has a very good passing game that defenses have to respect, helps out running backs a lot.
