What's with this myth of Auburn not sharing the carries on offense?

I keep seeing, specifically on the SECRant, that Auburn typically runs one player into the ground during the season, which is why they always have a guy ranked at or near the top of a season's rushing yards total. Who started this myth and why? Are you jealous of Running Back U? Are you jealous of Gus Malzahn's offensive genius? Are you jealous of Auburn's running back recruiting? Does it suck to know that Auburn is running the ball, and nobody can stop it? When will SEC teams figure out this "gimmick, high-school, Mickey Mouse" offense?

Player 3: 95 carries
Total carries: 652
2011
Player 1: 242 carries
Player 2: 112 carries

2013 (GOAT SEC rushing attack)

The objective data collected and presented in this thread indicate otherwise.
Have a nice day.

Wouldnt you have to compare these numbers to other teams to prove something?
Plus I think you got their argument wrong.

Corey Grant should've had more carries at the end of the year.

Should we list all the false stuff auburn fans post as fact on tRant?
Is there enough time?
Is there enough free server space?

Kind of like Auburn never having back-to-back 10 win seasons like you claim?

I like how you ask if you should list all the false stuff auburn fans post as fact and then you go ahead and list them before anyone even responds.

That's not the argument you posted in the OP though.
Posted on 3/18/15 at 9:50 pm to Weagle25
Fixed. The OP was supposed to reflect the title.

Yeah, lets start with all that bullshite you went off about during your melt after Petrino wrecked his bike

Don't be so upset Dale, it's just a stats thread.

Over 300 carries the last 2 seasons for 1 guy...wearing a guy down

You dont seem to understand, it doesnt have to be a % of total carries to wear on a guy. 300+ carries is a ton of wear. It's been amp'd up a lot the last 2 seasons.
By comparison Jeremy Hill got just 203 carries his last season at LSU

I am trying to make the SECRant understand that Auburn spreads the carries around and doesn't run one player into the ground.
