If a RB breaks Barry Sanders season rushing yards record...

[iowajerms]

Is that enough to win Heisman?

 

[Blackshirts BLVD]

Some say that the record can only be broken by UCF.

 

[SideSwipe52]

It depends who else is in the running for the Heisman, and what have they accomplished during the season, but that should put that player at least in top two. Just my opinion.

 

[Red_Chaos]

do the qb suck this year?

Barry Sanders also did this in 11 games, without bowl game rushing yards being counted. His true total is 2,850 yards.

That would be the total I think someone would have to beat to be a lock. That and not play for a 6 or 7 win team.

Barry also didn't have a conference championship game.

You would think, but the NCAA acts like it is the same. The NCAA didn’t recognize bowl games as part of the year’s final total yet for some reason with 2 possibly 3 more games it does.

We didn't consider bowl stats for our players, either, this past season.

If it didn’t count in the past it shouldn’t count now. Conference championship games shouldn’t either. Bad enough players today have one extra regular season game.

Kevin Smith is the greatest CFB back evah

 

[DetroitDevil]

Someone mention the GOAT?

 

[outofyourmind]

It's just all crazy talk.
Nobody will be better than Barry Sanders.

Maybe Jim Brown was, but that's it, maybe.

Truth

 

[outofyourmind]

It pains me, but maybe this guy.

 

[broncosmitty]

A guy could run for 3,500 yards in tMAC and not even get invited to New York for dinner.

Reggie Bush is probably the closest we've seen since the turn of the century. I sometimes forgot how dominat he was, probably the best college player I've seen.

Seriously?

Did you boycott Texas games while Ricky Williams played? He had more TDs as a junior. Then again as a senior, than Reggie had his entire college career. And he was high the entire time.
