Herschel may have lost footing or something. If they ran ten times they'd probably split the wins. Herschel was more productive at UGA than Bo was at AU.
You mean other than the fact that Herschel was measurably faster and stronger than Bo? Which pure athletic traits are you referencing?
Both were unbelievable athletes. Most people say something like 'generational talents' but I think they transcend that description. Who was better? I'd put Barry Sanders in there. Derek Henry maybe? Henry was a different type of back but is more productive at UA than anyone.

Herschel has the better times in every race that they both competed.
Facts. Not "I think".

More productive in 3 years versus 4 for Bo.
The leading rusher in 1979 for UGA had 589 yards.
The leading rusher in 1983 for UGA had 519 yards.
Herschel managed to squeeze 5,259 yards in the 3 seasons in between.

I don't think you understand that Herschel was running world class track events and coming in second to Carl Lewis.
