Interestingly enough the top 5 leading rushers in the SEC after 2 games are as follows
1)Damarea Crockett Mizzou 299 yards 2 td's
2)Trayveon Williams Texas A&M 256 yards 3td's
3)Derrius Guice LSU 224 yards 4td's
4)Jalen Hurts Alabama 209 yards 2 td's
5)John Kelly Tennessee 208 yards 4 td's

So Guice has more yards and the same amount of td's, yet they have Kelly rated higher. Kelly is good but Guice is better.

You're leaving out a lot cuz math and context are hard:

Guice 42 carries 224 yds 4tds; 1 catch, 4 yards
Kelly 37 carries 204 yds, 4 TDs; 10 catches, 95 yards
-------------------
TOTAL YARDS W/O ADJ CARRIES AND CATCHES:
Guice 224 + 4 = 228 yds
Kellt 204 + 95 = 299 yds

Given that Kelly is averaging over 6 yards a carry we can extrapolate a total of 234 yards rushing if he had the same number of carries (and that's being conservative). Adding in the catches and yardage Kelly wins there too.

IOW, Kelly wins in every category at this point.
