Not sure that's accurate. I don't believe Ole Miss has had that many.

Make a thread about 1,000 yard receivers so we can all laugh at Auburn

Suprised Alabama and Georgia do not have more.
We definitely had a few years where running back by committee kept some players from breaking a thousand.
1979 -The team rushed for over 3,700 yards... but our leading rusher only had over 700. We had 5 players with over 300.
2010 - Backfield of Ingram/Richardson/Lacy - highest number of yards was 875
2014 - Henry finished with 990 yards; Yeldon finished with 979 yards
2018 - Backfield of Damien Harris/Najee Harris/Josh Jacobs/Brian Robinson Jr - Leading rusher was 876 yards.
Last couple of years a lot of our rushing yards came from Milroe on either designed or broken plays.
It should also be noted that prior to Bobby Humphrey coming on board in 1986, we only had one player that broken 1,000 yards rushing (Johnny Musso, who did it in 1970 and 1971).
Hell, we didn't even have a thousand yard receiver until David Palmer in 1993... and he hit 1,000 EXACTLY.
These are the reason we never had a Heisman winner until Ingram in 2009.

Calm down guys, don't get your knickers in a twist. I don't have much of a problem with Texas athletes playing at blowU. They can't all play at Texas. OK to branch out. Jeez. Norman is only a couple hundred miles from the DFW Metroplex anyway.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know Royal is an Oklahoman.
