re: Why do Auburn fans think Bo Jackson was a better running back than Herschel

I mean he was a better all around athlete, I will give you guys that, However experts say that Herschel is the number one college athlete over the past 50 years.

Because people watched them both play.

No doubt Herschel was the more productive back, and I'm way beyond caring too much who is the best college back, who is the better all time athlete, etc.

The answer to your question is that many, including but not limited to Auburn fans, see it with Bo ahead because they watched them both and Bo was the more jaw dropping player.
