KaDeem Carey is the best RB in College Football

[The Derski]

Almost 100 more than Drake and only 3 more TDs. Tied with Yeldon for 10 TDs.

TDs are kewl.

Newsflash: Alabama is better than Arizona. Kadeem ran for 23 last season on a mediocre team. Imagine his numbers if he was on Alabama.

You really nitpicking 71 yards?

He led the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in rush yards last season. backing that up with another great year.

109 ypg? there has to be somebody that can top that

Unless the graphic on ESPN was wrong yesterday. No. No one tops that.

Honestly I thought it was kind of low myself.

maybe not. Gurley's pretty close though at 102

 

[The Derski]

At least you know Kadeem Carey's name now. Probably didn't before this thread.

 

[Smart]

Considering how few players are actually featured as Freshmen, 109 YPG is a huge number.

If a guy did that for four whole seasons, he'd have almost 6,000 yards over his career.

I'm seeing that Carey leads football at 154 YPG. I get the argument about carries, but at the end of the season, YPC isn't what determines the best RB. It's total yards. If Carey hadn't sat out for almost a game and a half, and gotten only his average (against NAU), he would be #3 right now, having played one less game than the current 1-4 RBs. And he's not doing this in the OVC, or some other mid major conference, he's doing it in the Pac. Again, the season is far from over, but that's pretty impressive. And again. If Ka'Deem transferred to Bama, there is no way that Saban puts him behind anyone. Period. TO even argue that is ridiculous. He would be starting, and be a huge factor in the offense with the passing attack, and having a wall for an O line. Everyone playing AZ knows that he's getting the ball, our O line is mediocre at best, and he still puts up those numbers. That's amazing.

Over his career KaDeem averages 109 yards per game. Not this season. Which apparently leads college football.

 

[CatsTopPac]

And last year Carey had 146 rushing YPG.

Right, because that counts his freshman season, which is still good. I'm just saying that last year and this year (so far), he has averaged 146 YPG, and 154 YPG, respectively. That's amazing. And assuming he stays, he still has next year (with most likely a better O line, better QB, and better receivers to help spread the D).

I see. Take away his freshman year when he played sparingly and his numbers are far and away better than everyone else instead of just slightly better than everyone else.

I'm perfectly happy with Carlos Hyde and the other horses we have in our stable.
