re: Best SEC players of all time……….

Yeah, Bo kinda sucked his freshman year. All he did was get named to the First Team All-SEC squad. He sucked even more his senior year when all he won was...

Heisman Trophy (1985)
Walter Camp Award (1985)
SEC Player of the Year (1985)
SN Player of the Year (1985)
UPI Player of the Year (1985)
Unanimous All-American (1985)

The difference is Herschel finished 3rd in Heisman voting his freshman year (and really should have won it, but there was bias against underclassmen). He finished second in Heisman voting his sophomore year and won it his Junior year.

He also won the walter camp, Maxwell, UPI and SN player of the year. He was SEC player of the year for 3 straight seasons and was a unanimous all-american for 3 straight seasons.

So yeah, Herschel was great for 3 years. Bo was great his last year, but fell well short of Herschel his other two.

Herschel had the best 3 year career of any college football player ever. Not just the SEC.
