LSU has 2 of the 25 NFL HOF running backs (Jim Taylor and Steve Van Buren). Anyone else have more?

UGA only has 2 RBs in the top 250 all-time in FBS/D1A rushing yards.

True, however, both are ranked higher than anyone else in the SEC not named George Rogers who wasn't in the SEC at the time.

I can't believe the dawg don't claim to be DBU as well based on the play of their current coach.
Zip through this when the red team is on defense and check out #16.
He had a very bad night. No wonder he hates Auburn!

What bothers you more? This, or our back to back?

Regardless, who are even the historically great NFL RBs from UGA? Herschel Walker? Is he even in the top 50 NFL RBs of all time?

Maybe you should just stop right here. Even losing seasons when he was in the USFL, Herschel Walker is listed at #12 all time in all purpose yards. He is right behind Barry Sanders and right in front of Adrian Peterson.
