This ^ is pathetic. You're fandom is blinding. How did LF do against Arky again?? I'll await your reply

Chubb went for 202 on the road in case you didn't know

---

LF vs Kentucky...15 carries for 40yds... 2.7 ypc

Chubb vs Kentucky... 13 carries for 170yds...13.1 ypc

With how he improved as the year went on have to say Fournette.

Good stats don't make you #1

Let's see how Chubb ranks in terms of RBs in 2014...
Yards - #2 1541 (Artis-Payne #1 by 61 more yards and 84 more carries)
YPC - #2 7.1 (Gurley #1 at 7.4 with 96 less carries)
TDs - #1 14

Playing RB in the East is much easier then WEST. Only easy defense in the WEST was TEX AM

UGA and LSU played 4 common opponents in Auburn, Florida, Kentucky, and Arkansas. Chubb out performed Fournette in every game.

he will need to learn to run between tackles if he wants to succeed at the next level

This doesn't even deserve a reply.

Determining the best RB in the SEC is not based on stats against one team or the entire season. I based it on each particular team's offense.

LSU's offense was 95% run plays because are QB couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. All defenses knew that when playing LSU. Fournette was running between the tackles with 8 men in the box on a consistent basis. LSU also spread the carries out among 4 RBs over an entire game.

Chubb played in an offense that was much more balanced then LSU. There QB was definitely better then ours hands down. Chubbs was not a "between the tackle" RB. He used his speed to get to the outside. ]Having a QB who could complete a pass benefitted Chubb tremendously. Also, UGA being up early in games also gave Chubb excessive carries.

Fournette and Chubbs had very good Freshmen seasons. The only way to determine who is better is how they fare in there future years in college and NFL. I feel like Fournette future is much more promising then Chubb.

There is a big difference for a RB to have a QB who can actually complete a pass.

Chubb had that with Mason (QBR 158, 20 Tds, 4 INTs).

LSU QB Jennings (QBR 115, Half TDS, Double the INTs) was very weak.

If Fournette had any type of QB his stats would look much different. His stats were primarily against run defenses to make Jennings pass. Running into that type of defense he still managed to average 5.1/yards oer carry.

I guess we will have to wait and see who the NFL scouts think the better RB is? My money is on Fournette.

Tigers scoring offense was limited this year with a very weak QB. Relied heavily of the RUN with very few pass attempts. LSU never jumped out early on teams and or we were beaten very early and moved away from the run effecting Fournette's stat line. The games that were competitive were low scoring which didn't require high scoring offense.

You can't compare stats against individual teams because each week is different. Teams improve or get worse as the year goes forward. Injuries and depth could effect later in the season. A lot of things could happen over the course of a season which can effect the play of all teams.

LSU plays a different style of Football then UGA. We focus on defense and a very conservative offensive play calling. This system effects Fournette's stats.

I don't believe Chubbs is the #1 RB in the SEC..... if you look at stats like your using i'd have to say the Auburn RB is the #1 RB (based on stats).

I think Fournette's future is overwhelmingly better prospect then any other RB in the SEC therefore he is the best RB in the league.

I guess that made Green-Beckham the best WR in the SEC two years ago? I mean people said he was the next Randy Moss. He has the potential so that has to make him the best WR, right?

We can argue about this all year and never change our minds.

We all agree that both Fournette and Chubbs are very good RBs in the SEC and we both would take each on our prospective team.

No Tiger fan will say Chubb is better then Fournette and vise versa. We are beating a dead horse.

All that matters is winning games and National Championships! We got two Natty's from 2000 to present. How many UGA got?

Fournette is far and away the best running back in the nation. Chubb was benefiting from Georgia having a passing game... Opens up more holes. Fournette was constantly running against 8 in the box all coming downhill bc Jennings sucks the fat one. Fournette is faster than Chubb, more athletic, bigger/stronger, and shiftier.

Jesus Christ

Also let's look at what Louisville's #3 ranked rush defense did when Chubb went off for 178 yards in the last 21 minutes of the game.

Defenders in the Box when Chubb carried the ball
10 - 4 times 23.5% (scored a TD)
9 - 6 times 35.3%
8 - 5 times 29.4%
7 - 2 times 11.8%

So almost 59% of the time, Chubb faced 9 or more in the box. Quit trying to convince yourself that Fournette was the only one that faced defenders in the box.
