ScarBo about to go off next year. Spreading 4 wide with Barnett and drawing to ScarBo or Harris is going to be sweeeeet.

How about Hype U?

Since 2009, here are all the kids in the SEC who have averaged at least 100 yards rushing per game, with a minimum of 10 games:

1) Leonard Fournette (2015): 158.3 yards/game
2) Derrick Henry (2015): 152.8 yards/game
3) Tre Mason (2013): 129.7 yards/game
4) Trent Richardson (2011): 129.2 yards/game
5) Anthony Dixon (2009): 126.5 yards/game
6) Cameron Artis-Payne (2014): 123.7 yards/game
7) Nick Chubb (2014): 119.0 yards/game
8) Mark Ingram (2009): 118.4 yards/game
9) Jeremy Hill (2013): 116.8 yards/game
10) Alex Collins (2015): 116.0 yards/game
11) Johhny Manziel (2012): 108.5 yards/game
12) Cameron Newton (2010): 105.2 yards/game
13) Ben Tate (2009): 104.8 yards/game
14) Michael Dyer (2011): 103.5 yards/game
15) Montario Hardesty (2009): 103.5 yards/game
16) TJ Yeldon (2013): 102.9 yards/game
17) Knile Davis (2010): 101.7 yards/game

Here are how many per school:

Auburn has 5 (#3, #6, #12, #13, & #14)
Alabama has 4 (#2, #4, #8, #16)
LSU has 2 (#1 & #9)
Arkansas has 2 (#10 & #17)
Georgia, Mississippi State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M each had 1.

**Also note that Gurly and Chubb each had a season cut short due to injury when they for sure would have made the 100 yards/game threshold.

Mark Ingram is the most overrated Heisman runningback in the trophy's history.

While Alabama has had a good string of runningback for the past 7 years, its quite a stretch to call it "Runningback U"

Not with other programs like Georgia, Auburn, and LSU having such great RB pedigrees.

As of late we are def rbu, but who are the 2 that are just as good as Henry? Because I sure as hell have no idea who your talking about. Bo has potential but hasn't done a damn thing, and I sure as hell hope your not putting Harris and Henry in the same sentence?

Last 6 years
Two RB Heismans
6 RB Sent to the NFL
2 First Rd'rs


There is no other school who has done more in that timeframe, so sure, y'all can be RBU.

Great for their college career. End game for their future in the NFL. Dead leg U.

Ingram, Lacy and Yeldon have all been pretty productive in the NFL. Richardson....in obscurity at Oakland.

LSU has had a lot of success with their WR's. Randle, LaFell, Landry and Beckham have been very good.

Funny thing about the LSU receivers including Dwayne Bowe, they all have one head coach in common....Les Miles. Kinda makes the whole LSU's passing offense thing seem stupid

Would be interesting to see them compared to some of the other top RB programs now. Seems like UGA would atleast be comparable.
