Top 5 College Running Backs

Featured Replies

Mike Hart? There's atleast 3 better RBs in the big ten.

 

I should have added when healthy

but still, he is easily the best RB in the Big Ten

:lol

 

Based on what, unseen performance? The 'coulda shoulda' stat?

guys, you don't know??? This is a "Stroke Junior's Ego" thread so we can all say Garrett Wolfe and those who don't are idiots....

 

That said...Mike Hart is in the top 10 in the country.....

 

Top 5 is AP, Michael Bush (despite injury), Kenny Irons, Steve Slaton, Marshawn Lynch....

No it's not. Have I said a word?

 

I just want to see if people have him in their top 5.

Whos that kid from Cal? Honestly cant remember his name.

 

I'd say #1 no doubt is Adrian Peterson.

 

Marshaun Lynch

Wolfe

Peterson

Lynch

 

 

Any of those 3 guys in tOSU's backfield (Pittman, both Wells)

With no more Bush, #5 still has to emerge now

I'd take Garrett Wolfe (in college) over any running back in the nation.

 

I want to see anybody do what he did against Ohio State.

 

LOC?

 

He's played 3 big ten teams.

 

2005:

@ Michigan- 17 carries, 148 yards, 8.7 YPC, 38 yards rec., 1 TD

@ Northwestern- 34 carries, 245 yards, 7.2 YPC, 16 yards rec., 3 TD

 

2006:

@ OSU- 26 carries, 171 yards, 6.6 YPC, 114 yard rec, 1 TD

 

3 games, 77 carries, 564 yards, 7.3 YPC, 168 yards rec, 5 TD

He averages 244 combo YPG against Big 10 opponents.

He's never been held 100 combo yards in a game he has played the entire game.

 

He's the best back in the national, and he has a realistic chance at running for over 2,000 yards.

Wolfe

Peterson

Lynch

you have to include Irons in there as well, but basically it's:

1. Peterson

2. Lynch

3. everybody else

1. Steve Slaton, West Virginia

2. Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma

3. Kenny Irons, Auburn

4. Marshawn Lynch, Cal

5. Antonio Pittman, Ohio State

 

Actually I think alot of players could have had a ton of yards on the Ohio State D from last week. Besides the line nobody played very well, a ton of freshman and different lineups were used and players were getting rotated and subbed constantly. I don't think Tressell threw out all his bells and whistles either. He wanted to contain NIU from scoring and that is what he did.

Is it me or does it seem like Peterson has been playing college ball forever?

Not in college.

Adrian Peterson:

 

2004 -- 1925 yards, 15 TD's

2005 -- 1108 yards, 14 TD's

2006 -- on pace for 1700 yards and 15 TD's

 

Garrett Wolfe:

2004: 1656 yards, 21 TD

2005: 1580 yards, 17 TD

2006: on pace for 2000 yds 14 TD

 

Peterson tougher competition all season-long and also isn't the main weapon....Wolfe had to be the main weapon on NIU therefore more carries and yards....
