walker definitely belongs there. Robinson and Tucker are neck and neck with Robinson having a slightly better ypc and 1 more td. Hard to argue with the two they named.

 

[djorange1989]

if they had three RBs on the team, Sean would be there. they are all really good and I think any order of those top 3 are fair. anything below that? no.

Yeah, but they were unanimous selections.

Also doesn’t hurt that MSU is 7-0 and Texas is at least 4-3, plus just perception at laege

Kinda reminds me of the year (1992?) Emmit Smith, Barry Sanders and Thurmon Thomas were all neck and neck for the rushing title going down to the last week of the season.

Edit: I looked it up. It looks like it was 1991. Emmit Smith won it but played one more game than the other two. Sanders was 15 yards behind. Thomas was held out of the last game of the year along with some other starters for the Bills.

This week Sean Tucker will likely become leading rushing in FBS. Michigan State, Texas and Duke all have byes this week. Our bye is a few weeks away.

• With 100 yards rushing this week, Tucker will go over 1000 yards for the season.
• With 100 yards rushing this week, Tucker will have 7 100 yard games this season and tie the record for most 100 yard rushing games in a season at Syracuse. Jim Brown and Joe Morris have 7.
• With 100 yards rushing this week, Tucker will set an new Syracuse record with 6 100 yard games in a row.
• With 118 yards rushing this week, Tucker will pass Floyd Little and become the tenth leading rusher in a season for Syracuse.

All of this with at least four games remaining to play this season.


At his current rate Tucker will set several records before this season is over.

• All time leader in carries in a season.
• All time leader in rushing yards gained in a season.
• All time leader in rushing yards per game for a season.
• All time leader in number of 100 yard rushing games in a season.
• Top 10 number of rushing TD's in a season.
• Top 10 average yards per carry for a season.

By the time tucker is done at Syracuse he could hold several rushing records.

• Already Top 10 in 100 yard games for a career (9).

Maybe he should keep #34 so he can stand by himself and get his own number retired one day.

Haven't seen Texas yet this year. But Walker is really good. Tucker should be there though.

Under, “at his current rate” are those records for CFB or just SU?

Robinson is crazy with some of his runs this year.

For the Orange.

I focused on SU to help put his accomplishments (and potential accomplishments) into some historical perspective when discussing his place among the greatest of the Orange.

What I thought, was just making sure. Awesome info, thanks.

It’s all good, by the end of the season they will have to give it to Tucker. Keep on trucking.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

He’ll likely also be a leader in all purpose yards at Syracuse in one year right?

 

[UpstateSM]

I kind of don’t hate it

That’s an insane class

I saw him play TCU, just shut down the game on the last drive, something ridiculous like 9 straight carries all the way down the field, not the stiffest defense this year, but all the same they could not stop him.

 

[sufandu]

They weren't in the same class. Thurman Thomas was in the '88 draft, Sanders the '89 draft, and Smith the '90 draft. It's sick that Thomas and Sanders were on the same college team for three years though.

Yeah I used the wrong word there but did not care to correct. It's crazy those 3 were the leaders. Not always the case the top RBs in college end up being elite NFL hall of famers. Those 3 all were literally elite players. That's insane to me.

Granted it is only about 40 years worth of viewing but Barry Sanders is the best RB, college AND pro, that I have ever seen

I can't like this enough. After posting my comment I youtubed highlights because it's been a while. Nobody has made so many good defensive players look foolish by completely wiffing.

 

[dollarbill44]

I agree with this. Just an insane running talent. It's hard to compare RBs with different styles. For example, Jim Brown was the perfect combination of speed, power and balance. Derrick Henry just runs over and past people. But no one comes close, imo, to the pure running ability of Barry Sanders. He had top level speed and balance, but, he had extraterrestrial agility that puts him above the rest. Guys would trap him in the backfield and he would juke left, right, spin and take off for 50 yards.
I would always get him injured in Tecmo Super Bowl season mode, because I would run him every play just to see how many yards I could accumulate.

 

[Rocco]

Both of them are excellent RBs, but unanimous is a bit of a stretch. Points more to the name on the front of their jerseys than on the back.

It's alright Tuck, take that as disrespect and keep grinding. He'll get his.

I didn’t see him in college but I’m a Bears fan and had to watch him for a long time. I would say the same thing, greatest back I’ve ever seen on mostly mediocre teams.
