The great ones find ways to put teams on their backs. Mark Ingram did it against USC and propelled Bama to an undefeated season.

I honestly think Walker could have rushed for 1.7 YPC even at his age. Snorenette is no Herschel

Well he's the greatest CFB player of all time so that's no surprise.

For a change, we could do a DM5 vs LF1.6 thread. That would be a hoot... and another TFL for Borenette

Walker would have never allowed a game like last Saturday to happen even if he was running behind air. It's clear to everyone but the homerist of homer LSU fan Leonard is no Herschel.

That's what the great ones do. You know, the all time great running backs like Herschel and Mark Ingram. They definitely belong in the same sentence.

Yea he should have been able to break 6 tackles behind the line of scrimmage on each run. What a terrible back, Derek Henry would have run for 200 yds against his defense that game

For having such a geat program, Bama fans are very insecure. I'm looking at you Larry.

This is so massively stupid I don't know where to begin. If that's the case, why was time waster blocking for HW? Why not just line up with 1 player since HW didn't need the other ten. Walker would never have allowed it? What the hell does that even mean.

You mean like the time when Cam Newton took the soul from your stadium while Ingram had like 50 yards?

You're right, neither Walker nor Ingram ever had a performance like this......






















Except that one time Walker ran for 20 yards and 0 TDs on 11 carries against Clemson, in his heisman year.....

And the one time Ingram ran for 30 against AU, in his heisman year.....

Team shuts down Fournette and yet STILL feeling insecure.

Let's not forget that Mark Ingram had only 30 yds on 16 attempts at Auburn that year. I wouldn't call that "putting the team on his back" and he still won the Heisman. LF7 is way better than Henry will ever hope to be. Henry just happened to play for the better team last Saturday.

ETA: Didn't see RB10's post before I posted this.
