Auburn was 278 in his Senior season.
So let's say Bo didn't miss most of his Junior season wuth injury and gets a modest 190 more carries (would still be 1 less carry than his Senior year), and still matches his career average of 6.6 ypc, then Bo finishes his career 5564 yards or 304 more yards than Herschel on 153 less carries.
If you want to say he didn't miss most of his junior season then you have to account for Herschel missing his ENTIRE senior season.....

That's great and all, but Herschel still had 344 more career carries than Bo. That's a season and a half for most RBs.
I went over that in the post you replies to. I know it's hard for you to read more than a couple sentences at once, but try and keep up.

What you guys don't understand is I hear that bo was better every night. They just never seem to have anything to back it up. I came here to see if I could maybe get some clarity, I'm not trying to do a no Herschel dick swinging contest, but i just want some clarity. Obviously, I am going to say Herschel, but why did the experts say Herschel? As previously stated, I didn't come to argue about it. But these auburn fans get there feelings hurt over the subject so there must be some doubt or something that strikes there nerve when it's talked about. I'm not gonna say Herschel was the best HANDS DOWN, but I think he was better, even of it was just a little. But most auburn fans I know say no was the better back HANDS DOWN NO QUESTIONS ASKED. I just think they're crazy.

Your grammar makes puppies cry.
Let me guess: you have never set foot on campus for a class.

I gave you the reasons Bo is better and you couldn't even read through the whole post. Which isn't surprising considering this:
Either you're a pot calling the kettle black here, because you seem to be getting your feelings hurt by deliberately ignoring facts that favor Bo, or you just have the reading comprehension level of a 7th grader. Or both, which is what my money is on.

Actually I have stepped foot on a campus. Have a finance degree. 23 years old and made 60 thousand last year. Just don't care about grammar that much on the internet, I didn't know that I was going to be graded on this paper

Maybe if UGA was half the school you all claim it to be then we wouldn't have the opportunity.
I guess that's why y'all dropped that shtick?
Or maybe if you would quit dodging the facts and keep to the subject...

You realize Bo played in the MLB and made the all star team right? Competed in track his FR and SO years? Made the NFL Pro Bowl?
You realize HW competed in track and unlike BO was an All American at it, right?

Once again, I said running back. Not athletic wise. Already said no was a better athlete. College running back is what I'm talking about.

It's debatable as to who is a better Athelete. Especially since HW looks like he could still play ball today. Dudes workouts would kill normal folks.

All I'm trying to do is hear there case, I just don't get why Auburn fans think this. I work with a few Auburn fans, and they swear up and down that Bo was better, however they can't never seem to back it up. They always just say "because he was"
We'll say Herschel, Auburn fans will say Bo, and nothing will change the minds of either fan base.

And once again, we've shown you the stats that prove Bo Jackson was a more effective RB. Herschel was a more durable RB and maybe the all-time great workhorse though.
And once again, you completely ignore all the stats and evidence that support Bo proving your OP was BS and you weren't really interested in an argument to begin with.

Around Athlete to me means a player who excels playing multiple sports. Walker was a great College athlete and so to was Bo.
However Bo was the better All Around Athlete due to him excelling in both football and baseball at the professional level.
Herschel also fought MMA at 50, and he was on the Olympic bobsled team

Bo averaged 6.6 ypc to Herschel's 5.3 ypc.
Bo also ran for a TD every 15 carries compared to Herschel who scored every 20 carries.
Now I see what UGA fans are saying. Walker's stats do blow Bo's away.
