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

Posted by beatbammer online on 7/7/17 at 12:07 pm to BowlJackson quote: Bo averaged 6.6 ypc to Herschel's 5.3 ypc. Bo also ran for a TD every 15 carries compared to Herschel who scored every 20 carries. I mean, this says it all right here. If you want a rush offense that provided you less yards per rush and scored rushing TDs less frequently, then I guess you pick Herschel. If, however, you'd prefer to maximize your yards per rush and score rushing TDs much more frequently, STATISTICALLY (as the Dawg fans like to say), you go with Bo without question. I just don't understand how one can think that a RB whose YPC is 20% smaller and who scores at a rate that is 33% less frequent is "better".

Just be sure to give Chubb credit then..2 of his 3 seasons he's had a better ypc and td per carry than Bo ever had..after this year he'll have better career yardage, ypc, and td per carry..

And don't forget Felix jones..his stats show he was better than bo by your measuring stick
