Quote:At the very least I'd put Miami, Texas and Georgia ahead of them.

 

Also, to claim something such as "Running Back U", it is something that has to be done consistently over time. Not a 10-20 year period. Wisconson has been pretty good at RB but nothing close to RB U.

 

In the past 20 years, Wisconsin has had a 1,000 in 18 season. In the past 20 years, Georgia has had 4 seasons with a 1,000 yard rusher.

 

Let's compare the best single seasons:

Ron Dayne (1996) 2,109 yards rushing 21 TDs vs Knowshon Moreno (2008) 1,400 yards rushing 16 TDs

Montee Ball (2011) 1,923 yards rushing 33 TDs vs Todd Gurley (2012) 1,385 yards rushing 17 TDs

Ron Dayne (1999) 2,034 yards rushing 20 TDs vs Knowshon Moreno (2007) 1,334 yards rushing 13 TDs

Montee Ball (2012) 1,830 yards rushing 22 TDs vs Musa Smith (2002) 1,324 yards rushing 8 TDs

 

 

Since 1993, Georgia's highest single season rushing leader is Moreno (2008) with 1,400. Wisconsin has had 14 single season rushers over 1,400.
