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

I watched them both play..Herschel is the best college football player I've ever seen. UGA was junk when he arrived and they were junk when he left.

Bo was an awesome athlete...but he's a myth. He's a what if? A human highlight reel of wow moments, but nothing long term.

As far as the stats...in the words of the old ball coach..stats are for losers, which Auburn did a lot of during Bo's tenure. Meanwhile, UGA lost 4 games in 3 years with Walker, won 3 straight SEC Championships and a NC.

So Bo was in the backfield with other greats? Yep, he sure was and it kept Defense's honest. Walker was the offense at UGA...Everyone knew he was getting the ball and he still got it done.

One more tidbit...Bo played in the wishbone. If the QB ran for 4 yards, pitched it to Bo for 10 more..Bo got credit for all 14 yards. HW played in the I...toss right, toss left, Walker up the gut.

If Bo was as good as Herschel, then Pat Dye is a dumbass, he should have given him the ball more and maybe Auburn could have actually won more than 1 SEC championship and been 2-2 in the iron bowl while Bo was there.

The purpose of the game is to WIN. UGA won with Walker..Auburn was average with Bo except for his sophomore year.
