best rb in college football

[The Crimson King]

He's like 3rd string at Louisville though.

and he was down!!!

 

[The Crimson King]

I'm glad we got Dyer from the whole Dyer/Lattimore/Seastrunk rush though

 

[Brasky]

When healthy:

1. Todd Gurley
2. Andre Williams
3. Bishop Sankey
4. Kadeem Carrey
5. Jeremy Hill
6. Marion Grice
7. Mike Davis
8. Duke Johnson
9. Storm Johnson
10. Melvin Gordon

current rushing ypg leaders

#1 Williams, BC - 188.45 ypg (6.48 ypc) including149 (5.32 ypc) v Florida State

#2 Carey, Zona - 155.90 (5.38 ypg)

Duke Johnson>>>>>

Gordon is about 5-8 in the country. Just another Wisconsin RB who will more than likely fail in the NFL. Montee Ball is another trash Wisconsin back in the NFL.

 

[HizzleRocker]

I would say:

1) Andre Williams
2) Seastrunk
3) Carey

 

[SteelersPride]

Just to be clear, what do you mean by best rb???

If you mean the best season a RB has had this year factored in with his talent level, talent around him, and stats.....i'd go Williams, Carey, Gordon, Sankey, Abdullah....in that order.

i mean the best all around RB, not the best season.....not the best career, whose the best, period.

 

[HuskerCradle2Grave]

i mean the best all around RB, not the best season.....not the best career, whose the best, period.

Then what is the criteria if it isn't best season or career? What are the metrics? Then we can quantify it.

I would say both season and career totals along with percentage of offense and scoring for each year. And the ranking of the run defenses faced...

I like your list the most, but Carlos Hyde HAS to be top ten.

This he basically on played in 7 of the 11 games, had 5 carries and didn't start in the 8th game ans he has over 1000 yards and 15 total TD's, also averages 8 yards a carry.

Gordon has a more NFL feel to him than Wisconsin's other backs. Brian Calhoun he is not. White is a system guy I'd be surprised to see starting/putting up big numbers in the League though.

BC tailback Williams has carried that team. 2 wins last year and now 7 wins all on his back over 2000 yards sorry he's best back.

Todd Gurley>Carlos Hyde

LMAO......Todd Gurley? That's a joke, right? Gurley couldn't even stay on the field this season.

 

[haydav49]

Hyde and Davis

Damn, hell just froze over. We agree on something.

 

[haydav49]

Pretty much. It's kind of a "measuring competition" of homers...and they're all about 3" at full hard...

Must be something in the Wisconsin water?

 

[fredmccallyRTR]

Going by media coverage this season you wouldnt even know the RB position still exist.

 

[SteelersPride]

there has been very little media coverage for a rb......

 

[TexasExes98]

Hyde--->Best NFL potential

Doubtful. Can't remember the last time tOSU produced a quality NFL RB since Eddie George.

 

[TexasExes98]

point is talent wins out if your the best in the country your not splitting looks

Not true at all. Jamaal Charles split carries his 1st two years at Texas. Texas has 2 RB's that are probably better than any RB in the country, but they all split carries anyway, and Texas has a pedigree of producing NFL RB's.

 

[TexasExes98]

I'd probably go with Seastrunk from Baylor. That kid definitely has NFL potential. If we're going by NFL potential, you would probably stay away from Wiscy and tOSU.

 

[FsuNole1]

I really liked Duke Johnson and his hard nosed running, too bad that kid got hurt.
