re: ITT we decide once and for all who RBU is

Fournette will end his career with 100+ more carries than anybody Alabama has had during the Saban era. So, he should rank higher than any of them on an all-time yardage list.

It's not like he's just going to sneak in the top 10. There's a legitimate shot that he ends up in 2nd place.

The fact that Ingram and Henry didn't finish in the top 10, with 572 and 602 carries respectively, is a bit of a surprise to me.

List the 1k yard rushers for Alabama in that same time frame.

It doesn't hurt Arkansas.

As stated by ESPN when they named Arkansas RBU, Arkansas led the league in 1k yard rushers in that time frame.

13- 1,000 yard seasons from 2002-2015

Just guessing, I would assume Auburn is right with Arkansas during that time frame.

I counted quarterbacks because teams shouldn't be faulted for having incredible rushing quarterbacks. Since 2000:

2000
Rudi Johnson: 1,567
Heath Evans: 260

2001
Carnell Williams: 614
Casinious Moore: 526

2002
Ronnie Brown: 1,008
Carnell Williams: 745

2003
Carnell Williams: 1,307
Ronnie Brown: 446

2004
Carnell Williams: 1,165
Ronnie Brown: 913

2005
Kenny Irons: 1,293
Brad Lester: 339

2006
Kenny Irons: 893
Brad Lester: 510

2007
Ben Tate: 903
Brad Lester: 530

2008
Ben Tate: 664
Kodi Burns: 411

2009
Ben Tate: 1,362
Onterio McCalebb: 565

2010
Cam Newton: 1,473
Mike Dyer: 1,093
Onterio McCalebb: 810

2011
Mike Dyer: 1,242
Onterio McCalebb: 641

2012
Tre Mason: 1,002
Onterio McCalebb: 570

2013
Tre Mason: 1,816
Nick Marshall: 1,068
Corey Grant: 647
Cam Artis-Payne: 610

2014
Cam Artis-Payne: 1,608
Nick Marshall: 798
Corey Grant: 364

2015
Peyton Barber: 1,017
Jovon Robinson: 639

Then this whole discussion shouldn't be about RBU

Are you trying to include QBs with RBU?

LOL at this random time period.

2003 - Shaud Williams : 1,367
2004 - Ken Darby : 1,062
2005 - Ken Darby : 1,242
2008 - Glen Coffee : 1,383
2009 - Mark Ingram : 1,658
2011 - Trent Richardson : 1,679
2012 - Eddie Lacy : 1,322
2012 - TJ Yeldon : 1,108
2013 : TJ Yeldon : 1,235
2015 : Derrick Henry : 2,219


10 - 1,000 yard seasons dating back to 2002 (the random "this is when we got some good players" time period for Arkansas), including 2 seasons in which we had multiple running backs with 850+ yards (2002 and 2014). 2014 Henry had 990 yards and Yeldon had 980 yards.

We have 7 1,000 rushers since 2008 (the last 8 seasons).

Random? It is the same time period ESPN used to crown Arkansas RBU

Go cry to them Georgie.

Cry me a fricking river

Arkansas has had 3 seasons with 2-1,000 yard rushers

Whats your point? Other than you didn't have a 1,000 yard rusher that season?

Alabama just doesn't seem to stack up to Arkansas and Auburn when talking about 1,000 yard rushers over a lengthy time period.

Which is why, Arkansas was named RBU by ESPN.

1,000 yard rusher

Such a meh stat. It's like bragging about hitting .280. 1,000 yards means you averaged 77 yards per game over a 13 game season.


1,500 yard rushers since 2008 (115 ypg over 13 games)
Alabama - 3
Auburn - 2
Arkansas - 1
LSU - 1

1,500 yard rushers since 2006 (115 ypg over 13 games)
Alabama - 3
Arkansas - 3
Auburn - 2
LSU - 1

Man I'm just arguing with you to pass time until my next meeting.

Henry would have had to average 6.5, or so, and Ingram 7.0 to make the list.

I just wanted to piss in your Cheerios because the Arky fans arbitrary timeframes and constant changing of the criteria wasn't even worth arguing with.
