It's almost unanimous that Herschel and Bo are head and shoulders above every other RB in the history of the SEC.

What would it take for people to refer to another RB in the same manner as they do Herschel and Bo?

multiple heismans or multiple NC's with numerous yards each year(like 2k each)

ETA, This is not for comparison sake as far as accomplishments vs HW/Bo but because of how we view players now vs in the past

A) A Heisman Trophy.

B) Multiple moments, in big games, where the RB's play defies logic and the boundaries of human athleticism and essentially wills his team to victory.

Mark Ingram "willed" his team to victory against South Carolina in 2009, but his team was also loaded with first round draft picks.

George Rogers was good, but he doesn't belong in the conversation with Herschel and Bo. And for a couple of you Florida fans, Emmitt doesn't either.

McFadden and Kevin Faulk are the only ones in my lifetime close to that level.

Higher rushing average than Herschel Walker. Almost as many TDs. Almost three times as many receiving yards.

McFadden was nothing more than the first Gus Malzahn system runningback.
