re: Who really *is* SEC Running Back U?

With LSU for instance, they have 1 (wow a whole 1!) more 1000 yard rusher, but have less league leaders

The Tigers' do have 3 of the top 7 all-time SEC rushers, in addition to a 4th(Billy Cannon) who won the Heisman. Since Kevin Faulk left in 1998, the Tigers have typically been running back by committee which has taken some of the limelight away from that area of the team, although it looks like Fournette is a good bet to become the first multiple year 1000 yard guy since Faulk. At any rate, I can see why the Tigers are listed as high as the OP has them. This same discussion occurring in '98, when LSU had just produced their third 4000 yard plus back in a 20 year span would likely have had the Tigers mentioned in the top 3 all-time.
