re: Stat comparison of the 5 greatest backs in SEC history.

I've got a different take on this.


Todd Gurley played in 30 games.

Career average of 6.4 ypc.

He returned 11 kickoffs, taking it to the house on 2 of them. Average return was 38.4 yards. Total 422 yards.

65 receptions for 615 yards.

45 total touchdowns for Gurley.

Gurley should easily be in the top 5 in SEC history. It's just a shame he had to go out with an ACL injury following the autograph scandal that also kept him sidelined.
