Fournette also broke Herschel's record by almost 100 yards and in 85 fewer carries
People forget Herschel was a huge workhorse. He didn't have an insanely high career yards per carry average. He had almost 1000 carries over his 3 seasons. For Fournette to get to the same amount of carries Walker had, he would have to have 507 carries this season. Hell Herschel averaged 32 carries per game in his sophomore season, that's insane.
Walker had a career rushing average of 5.3 yards per carry. Very good certainly for a guy who toted the rock as much as he did. But Fournette is on another level, at 6.1 yards per carry currently.

Herschel's OOC schedule in 1980: Clemson, Texas A&M, TCU and GaTech. There aren't any Sam Houston States in there to pad stats.
We all think he's good. But after listening to Rantards before he had ever suited up his freshman year tell us how Les recruited him from the planet Krypton, he didn't exactly wow me his freshman year. I saw a back that started the year running tentative, going down at first contact and showing Trent Richardson-like vision. He got better as the year went on, but he didn't come out of the gates breathing fire.
