SEC West
Alabama: Mark Ingram/Trent Richardson 1,658/751 2,409
Auburn: Onterio McCalebb/Mario Fannin 565/285 850
Arkansas: Broderick Green/Dennis Johnson 442/342 784
Ole Miss: Brandon Bolden/Rodney Scott 614/138 752
Mississippi State: Christian Ducre (FB)/Robert Elliott 263/221 484
LSU: Stevan Ridley (FB)/Richard Murphy 180/10 190
LSU's numbers are particularly interesting in that the two leading returning rushers are quarterbacks (Russell Shepard/Jordan Jefferson 277/171 for 448).
There's more returning running back depth in the SEC East, but even the best tandem trailed the Tide's by more than 1,000 rushing yards:
SEC East
Florida: Jeffrey Demps/Chris Rainey 745/575 1,320
Georgia: Washaun Ealey/Caeb King 717/594 1,311
Vanderbilt: Warren Norman/Zac Stacy 783/478 1,261
Kentucky: Derrick Locke/Moncell Allen 907/228 1,135 (WR Randall Cobb with 573)
South Carolina: Kenny Miles/Brian Maddox 626/307 933
Tennessee: David Oku/Tauren Poole 94/85 179 (Bryce Brown with 460 yards left team)
Alabama: Mark Ingram/Trent Richardson 1,658/751 2,409

Well, if you change that number to career rushing yards returning per team, the rest of the SEC is much closer to Alabama then just the few stats you gave there.

We don't have christian ducre any more.

He didn't play last year. These running backs played.

And neither of those running backs are returning to play this year.

that's why I said Michael Ford (he is on the team so he is "returning")

Wouldn't that make the stats look worse since he had "0" rushing yards last year?

IDk but Michael Ford >>Stevan Ridley + Richard Murphy

For example, just to prove a point:
Career rushing yards returning in 2010:
Florida = 3767 yards
Alabama = 4251 yards
Kentucky = 3458 yards
This is an overrated stat.

doesn't the earlier part of your post mention ridley with 180 yards from last year?
Anyway, doesn't matter... they graduated scott and williams and had a generally awful time doing much on offense last year... hardly shocking their numbers are low given those two things
I'm guessing Arkansas fans should pick up a ball and post a returning passing yards from last year now... I'd expect Mallet is at or near the top of that list

I believe the OP was talking about this article...
Tide's running back tandem statistically on top
The article then compares stats from last year.
I did notice this little quote...

Statistically speaking, the best running back combination in recent SEC history was Darren McFadden (1,830 yards) and Felix Jones (1,162), who combined for 2,992 rushing yards in 2007. That blew away the numbers posted Auburn's Carnell Williams (1,165) and Ronnie Brown (913) in 2004, but all four of those players were NFL first-round draft picks.

She is wearing LSU colors.
Aren't you breaking some kind of Gump commandment with that avatar?
