No, because I don't follow LSU, or care about LSU.
Next time you guys beat Arkansas I may start caring again. For now it's just that school that everyone always says is good, but usually loses a bunch of games, threatens to fire their coach and then discovers that they're literally to fu(king broke to pull the trigger.

Suggestion:

If you don't even know, and aren't willing to look up who these players have played against, much less their actual stats, you may want to stay out of threads like this. Either that or stop whining when you get calling a fricking moron for posting uninformed shite.

Just a thought.

I'm having fun in this thread.

Deuce? Are you a Saints fan? He probably doesn't crack top 25 in any rushing category for the SEC.

Charles Alexander, Dalton Hilliard, Eric Rhett, Cadillac, Ronnie Brown, Moe Williams, Garrison Hearst, Rudi Johnson, Mark Ingram, Kevin Faulk, Lattimore,

***I see you said not auburb or uga. Give me the other ones on the list.

I'm going with Derrick Henry or Dmac but most exciting to watch Kevin Faulk or Fournette.

Henry is very good but that Bama O line could make anyone a star

You may want to ask saban about that. He averaged over 5 yards a carry on bama that year.

Rushing Yards

1. Tre Mason* (Auburn) 1816
2. Jeremy Hill* (Louisiana State) 1401
3. T.J. Yeldon* (Alabama) 1235

No idea about in "SEC History" since I didn't see anyone before the 1980's. Since then and excluding Bo and Herschel I think these two are the clear best:

Darren McFadden
Kevin Faulk

After that I think there are several reasonable arguments. Emmitt Smith (obviously if you count NFL production he goes to the top of the list), Cadillac Williams, Shaun Alexander and Mark Ingram are all in there. Probably a few others as well.

DMAC is the one I enjoyed watching the most.

That was far and away Nick Saban's worst team since 2007 and every Bama fan will tell you that.

Well Tre had a hell of a lot of yards to only have "one good game"

Really Hard to compare players form different time periods

Hell the SEC is drastically different even now.

Bo vs Herschel is a good argument, but you can't compare Herschel vs even Faulk much less McFadden and Fournette.

I definitely think Fournette is in this conversation. I think he will sit just behind Herschel at the end of the season in Total Rushing Yards. i could also see him setting #1in total Rushing Touchdowns too.

Lol auburns offense may be a "spread" but it's about as bread and butter with old school motion cuts and veer option with power and read option.

Yeah that 1500 yards in the regular season was for shite The guy had 3000 yards rushing over his career and he left early. SEC Offensive Player of the Year, and he ran up Crimson turd's arse for 165 yard and about 6 yards a carry. So....frick yourself.

Not a big one but Deuce is #21 in SEC career yards from scrimmage.

I was just looking to name one guy from different teams.

I would think that yards per play from scrimmage with an adjustment factor for average reception yards by a RB vs average rush yards by a RB would be a good stat. But I don't have time for that.

BTW, LF needs 2027 yards from scrimmage to move into 2nd all-time SEC and 2136 yards to surpass Herschel.
