To be fair, we did have the runningback with the most rushing yards in a run heavy conference one year, but I agree with your point.

petrino tried to run the ball all the time, we just didn't ever run block worth a shite. As soon as we got davis back there and he could get positive yards petrino used him as often as spurrier used lattimore and everyone said spurrier was running lattimore into the ground at the time.

To be honest, that's really not true. Remember Knile didn't even start the first 6 games. He very rarely had over 10 carries the first half of the season, and there rest of the year only had 2 games with over 30 carries. He just busted huge runs on the reg. That's what averaging 6.5 a carry will do.
