EDIT: 35% of Trent Richardson's TD runs are 2 yards or less - 50% under 5 yards

Yup. He's had 1300 rushing attempts this fall. Dude has mad cardio stamina.

its not about when you get there but how you get there that matters because the journey always makes more sense

He has numerous TD runs longer than ANY run by ANY LSU runner.

A) Still not stats bro.
B) Not comparing him to LSU backs on long runs.

Look, I don't see Bama games in full... but I see every highlight on TV. Most highlights are punch it in, punch it in. Just like your Georgia Southern game last night, he has three TDs all from 4 yards out (including a wide open catch).

So, without subjectivity and emotion... prove someone who only sees highlights wrong with stats on his TD run length.

Talking TD runs. Bamers - don't react emotionally. 20 TDs is great. But with an incredible O-line like Bama has, every single one of our backs could punch it in for 1-2 yards.

And yes... he gains a lot of yards on long runs. But let's not name him a Heisman finalist just by saying he now has more TD runs than Ingram.

Seriously looking for stats on length of his TD runs.

When people were arguing that Stanford rb was better than Ingram and deserved the Heisman over him, one of the biggest arguments was TD count. Something like over 85% of his TDs were from 1-2 yards out.

7 of 20 have been 2 yards or less...

Because the truth is they're pissed that it looks like they'll have to play Bama again and they're scrambling to discredit Bama as much as possible for whatever reason.

Maybe it helps them sleep at night.

Wow. 7 of 20 (35%) is exactly what I'm saying. And that doesn't count other short runs.

EDITED TO ADD: 10 of 20 (50%!!!) less than 5 yards. Wow again.

Most FBS backs could punch in 7 TDs from 2 yards behind a top class O-line.

Back out 7 "easy" TDs and 13 isn't Heisman worthy.

The point being- when you have a back you're trying to get to New York, you give him every 2 yard punch possible to pad the stats. Let's face it - Bama has dominated most opponents... Don't tell me they NEEDED Richardson on those punch ins. Lacy or a third string back could have done it.
