Tate has 225 carries for 1,209 yards and 8 touchdowns.....

This on an offense that throws the ball a good bit and is predicated on getting the ball to a lot of different guys.

That is 5.37 yards per carry. Pretty good and, according to you guys, ought to get you at least an invitation to NY.....

Once again, Ingram is averging 6.8 YPC. No Auburn back in history has manged at least a 6.8 YPC on 200+ touches. Tate has 20 more touches than Ingram and about 200 less yards. Ingram also has 250 recieving yards to Tates 88. Ingram also has 55% of his yards after contact so obviously he is not a product of his o line.


Wait til Ingram gets more and more touches, the YPC will only decrease. Oh and FWIW Bo Jackson finished his career with an average of 6.6 yards per carry, which set the SEC record (minimum 400 rushes).

Ben Tate is the best back that ever lived. Its not his fault the rest of the team sucks.

Give Ingram 225 carries and he'd prolly have around 1,500 yards.

Also, look at receiving... which is a part of RB's.

PS "only 190 yards" is a lot of yards.

That is what I have been trying to say. Mark has 1399 yards rushing for 12 TD's, but he also has 225 yds receiving for 3 more TD's. That makes 1624 total offense for 15 TD's. Or am I just thinking I see these stats.
