Bo averaged far more yards per carry during his college career. Herschel just carried the ball many more times

Some people use Georgia's national title as an example of Herschel being better, but that title came against one of the easiest schedules of all time. Georgia only played about 3 teams with winning records all year

#21 should've been Lattimore. Even if he did miss due to injury.

As a pro, absolutely. Young was dominant in college though.

Are you lost? This is an SEC board. Do you need directions home?

Johnny >>> Deion

If we are talking college careers exclusively. This list is all over the place. They seem to account for pro careers on some and exclusively college careers on other. List is crap.

You honestly think that Deion had a better college career than Johnny? How so?

McFadden had more rushing yards than Bush and played on a worse team.

DMAC > BUSH

DMAC - 4590 5.8YPC 41 Rushing TDS
BUSH - 3169 7.3YPC 25 Rushing TDS

No. Do you need directions back to the kitchen?

But DMAC didn't win a Heisman. Well, technically Bush didn't either.

Point taken.

Bush did more than just rush. Add in his return game.

Greatest athlete but nowhere near the better college football player. How many MNC and MNC games did Bo lead The Barn to?

Yes!!!!!!

LSU not having a player on that list means LSU has done more with less than any other college program in history.

Another reason being a Tiger fan is awesome because LSU is so exciting because we don't have the best players but still win MORE than our fair share.
