I'd be hard pressed to take anyoen over gurley if I'm picking a team, but the fact that he was injured for half of 2013 and suspended in 2014 is going to likely eliminate him from this list I woudl imagine.

Shame too becuase if he played 3 full seasons I have no doubt he'd have gone down as an all-timer.

I think on talent alone he has a case for it plus his 1 really good season. I mean I think mason has an argument as well even though he just had 1 really good season

If Henry is in for having the best season in SEC history then Fournette is probably 5th for having the 2nd best.

Seems logical.

Everybody knows Derrick Henry is the 4th best? Ever?
For his career?

Whenever you rush for more yards than Herschel walker and win the Heisman I think so

Shaun Alexander, Cadillac, Travis Henry, Todd Gurley and Eddie Lacey all make a case.

14
Derrick Henry* 3591 yds from 2013 2015 Alabama

which has less than nothing to do with the "SEC's best running backs".

Rush for more yards than Herschel in a single season*. And that only gets him to 4th not saying he's better than walker

Chase Hayden is going to make a case for this list in the near future.
