Using only TDs accounted for in a stat sheet is a stupid metric. This does not take into account moving the ball to the goal line, moving the chains, and keeping the other offense off of the field.

His yardage matches the same basic pattern, so not sure what the big deal is. I think the Miss St game was a game where he had good yards, but only 2 TD's.

quote:

Erase from the stats either one of the two games where he broke the sec single game yardage record, and he still owns the sec season yardage record, in 2 less games. The guy lead the nation in total yardage and lead the fricking sec in rushing. He won practically every award he was eligible for, and was on everyone's all American lists. But, you know, it was just hype...as opposed to those other guys that won it playing the 85 bears 12 weeks in a row.

Yes, hype.

Not saying he was a bad player in college or anything, but he was not the superman some of you try to make him out to be.
