Alabama has 4 (#2, #4, #8, #16)
LSU has 2 (#1 & #9)
Arkansas has 2 (#10 & #17)
Georgia, Mississippi State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M each had 1.
So, Bama's the only one with 2 in the top 5, and using the very limited just the last few years, we've have a 100 yard per game rusher 4/5 seasons.

Mark Ingram is the most overrated Heisman runningback in the trophy's history.
Subjective opinion. Frank Sinkwich can't hold Ingram's jock IMO.


Your long post didn't really say anything. I don't really see the point

No. 4/7 seasons.

And this "very limited just the last few years" time frame is the high water mark for Bama running backs. Prior to Saban, Bama had a very lackluster running back pedigree by "Big 6" standards

Still to this day, the highest a bama player ranks in the all-time career rushing yards list in SEC history is #12 all-time (Shaun Alexander).

LSU (3), Auburn (2), Florida (2), Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Mississippi State all have running backs higher on the list than Bama's best all-time (in terms of career yardage).
