I did appreciate it. Now, back to the OP.
Reggie Cobb was a great RB at Tennessee, but he wasn't even the best RB on that team. Chuck Webb by a fricking mile.
Also, as I mentioned earlier, no Jamal Lewis? List is poop

Nutt screwed the pooch with McFadden early in his freshman year.
We lost to Vandy at home and McFadden had 1 carry for 6 yards
Against Mizzou State, only 9 carries
Against Alabama only 8 carries

there's been some great RB's in the SEC but anyone that doesn't give UGA the nod as RBU is not thinking clearly. damn, y'all keep producing both RB's and OL every year. If y'all could produce bad arse Defenses nothing could stop you.

Kenny is Dalton's nephew, not son. Lazy "reporting"

Those were some incredible seasons - UGA is cranking out the RBs for sure. Where would you place Dyer on this list? He fizzled out but he put a hurting on the rest of the SEC in his freshman year.

Honorable mention: Alex Collins - 1,026 yards, 5.4 YPC

Ummm...Jamal Lewis should be on this list. He ran for 1,364 yards with 7 TDS and also had 23 catches for 299 yards and 2 TDs.
5.9 Yards. Per. Carry.
He didn't really even play until after the Florida game. So he did this in about 7-8 games.
GOAT.

This guy who wrote this is dumb. Kenny isn't Dalton's son.

Yah, Jamal Lewis rushed for over 1300 yards at 5.9 YPC on top of 255 receiving yards as a true frosh.

damn no justin vincent?
Posted on 5/8/15 at 12:48 pm to WG_Dawg
I can't argue too much with that list.
Posted on 5/8/15 at 1:18 pm to WG_Dawg
All good backs. Still, I'd have to add Justin Vincent in as a tie somewhere. In 2003, he set the LSU Freshman rushing record(Just broken by Fournette), the SEC Championship Game rushing record (MVP) and was named MVP in the BCS title game. And he didn't become the starter until the last third of the season. Pretty damn good season.

Where would you place Dyer on this list?
Dyer's rookie season in 2010 had 1093 yards at 6 yards per carry and 5 touchdowns; and 1 reception for 9 yards, no touchdowns.

He certainly tore us up in the SECCG, but 1000 yards and 10 TDs over a 14 game season...idk if that should make the list.

It's the way he did it. Slowly climbing up the depth chart, not becoming the starter until the 10th game and piling up nearly 700 yards in the final 4 games to help lead the Tigers to a national championship.
