Did McCaffery actually break Sanders record?

[TheDayMan]

If he played for USC same opinion. Im a numbers guy

If you're a numbers guy you're making this way too hard. He got more yards in two extra games. The record is his. Things change, seasons in all sports have expanded over time. They don't throw out records and start over everytime they add a game.

Barry Sanders' 1988 game-by-game rushing stats

Well we know he had 5 TD's which brings his total TD's to 44.
He was 1-2 passing for 17 yards in the Holiday Bowl.
Rushed 29 times for 222.
Didnt have any receiving yards.
It said his total return yards was still 515 so that means he didnt do special teams in the bowl game.

So that means he had 2,867 yards and 44 TD's

2867 rushing thats not total yards tho which is what the record is

I see 6 defenses on Stanfords schedule ranked worse than 100. Henry has faced 9 top 60 defenses.

What?

Damn it clarkson, loom what you did. People don't even know what thread they're in anymore.

Ive always knocked USC in the past when something didn't add up not changing now. Numbers are numbers

I see 2 of the top 3 defenses McCaffrey faced completely shut him down.

I fixed it. My bad, look back at my original post. It was actually 2850 rushing and I added the other yards.

It goes back to did Roger Maris break Babe Ruth's record?

Pu the numbers together it took two extra games and the numbers aren't even close. Had he broke the record in 11 games it would be different. But it took the 2 extra games which is a major difference. I like facts

This is about the record. Everything doesn't have to revolve around Henry man...

Dammit man there ya go making sense again...stop that crap!

 

[Jakology]

Barry Sanders is the greatest running back of all time. At any damn level. People with a brain know he had the better overall year. Yeah, it's McCaffery's record now, but that doesn't make it a better season. This is like trying to argue that Drew Brees' had a better record breaking season than Dan Marino.

This is why I'm really not able to say the record was legitimately broken. IMO its still Barrys record

No one's denying that fact... did you read my post? That's basically what I said...

Stats always make sense

 

[uncfan103]

Yes. He broke the record. But, he needed more games. Most records being set in this era are being set for the same reason. It's not as impressive as Barry Sanders' record. But, it's a record. Records are based on per season, not averaged per 11 game seasons or whatever.

I told you...stop making sense! SportsHoopla is the last place to use actual facts, they simply aren't encouraged on this fine site.

orry man, I just got a bad feeling that Henry is going to robbed of the Heisman Saturday. Watson,Mayfield,Henry, and Dalvin Cook are all more deservingthan McCaffrey.
