false

take him out of the wishbone his 1st 2 seasons
And put tebow in a pro offense and he's an average QB. Bo played (and took himself out of games) in the system he played in. Herschel was the greatest RB in college football history...there's no shame in Bo being 2nd behind him in SEC history.

According to ESPN, alot of cheating was going on in Auburn this past year too.
I should be surprised that my opinion carries enough weight that it caused this thread to be created, but I'm not. It's not enough that I said I thought Bo was probably the greatest overall athlete to play in the SEC, yall want me to say he's the greatest RB too. But, that's not the case. He is definitely in the top ten, but there have been better running backs to play since Bo has played. Now, let me hear how stats don't matter, wins don't matter, etc.. etc..

Emmit? Oh please. The guy was smart, efficient and durable...always falling forward, never taking a solid shot. He may be the best ever AT THAT. He is not in the conversation of best RB in SEC history.
in the context of college careers only. Some guys go on to do bigger and better things though. Some guys have weak hips and get fat.

Since when have we started using ESPN as a definitive source of fact regarding history?

Kevin Faulk was a better RB than Bo

I bet it's hard to find many RB's with a higher YPC avg.

It's not hard to find several within a decimal point in ypc, but also had more TD's, more wins, also won Heisman's and weren't injury prone.

Bo had 6.6 in his career
Ingram 5.7
Herschel 5.3
McFadden 5.8
Carnell 5.2

faulty logic- Tebow was put in the best offense for him to succeed. Bo was put in an offense for 2 seasons that hampered his ability.
Bo > Walker
