Derrick Henry 3591 yards rushing vs Herschel Walker 5259 yards rushing. It's probably challenging for a bama fan to determine which number is higher.
PLAYER RUSHING YARDS SEASON
1. Derrick Henry, ALA 1,986 2015
2. Herschel Walker, UGA 1,891 1981
3. Darren McFadden, ARK 1,830 2007
4. Tre Mason, AUB 1,816 2013
5. Bo Jackson, AUB 1,786 1985
People thought it would be impossible to break Walkers record.

How many more games in a season did Henry play as opposed to Walker?
I saw Herschel with my own eyes in 1982 when Georgia played State in Starkvegas.
We had a great defense. We shut him down or at least we thought we did. His longest run of the day was 18 yards. But at the end of the game he rushed it 30 times for a buck seventy-five. He was never tackled for a loss and akways fell forward when was tackled.
We lost 29-22 after a late TD by UGA and we were driving deep in their territory and had an untimely fumble that ended the game. Absolutely one of the best games I have ever watched and it was nationally televised by CBS.
Walker/Bo and then the rest.

Why add McFadden? He clearly never did anything to merit mention… I can’t believe how many people on here are unwilling to acknowledge that he is absolutely a top 5-10 best ever running back in the SEC. The dude was a two time Heisman Runner Up (should’ve won over Troy Smith) and two time Doak Walker award winner in addition to his stats and being run into the dirt by Nutt.

1,000 of those yards came in one game vs South Carolina it feels like

Why did you leave Fournette off? He is #2 on this list with 1958 yards in 2015

Walkers record
The difference is everyone knew GA was running the ball with Walker. RBs pretty much we’re the offense. Boxes were stacked. Not the same with modern college offense.
