    I know they showed that McFadden is in the Top 5 All time SEC leading rushers tonight on the Heisman. Just wonderin, who are the top five again?
    I know that the 5 were Kevin Faulk LSU! , Herschell Walker UGA, Bo Jackson AUB, Darren McFadden ARK, Emmit Smith FLA. But what order is it?

    I remember Faulk being injured the year Cecil Collins took over, so that denied him a chance to rack up more yards. Truly was one of the Tiger greats.

    McFadden isnt near the top 5 in all time rushing in the SEC. He is however in the top 5 rushing in first two seasons. That is the graphic you must have seen tonight. I dont remember the order they were in.

    He did break his leg, who knows what if CC hadn't . The stat showed at the Heisman ceremony re yardage was for only after two years. RunDMc will , like Kevin Faulk, have a choice to make next year.

    I was at the game when the Diesel came in for Faulk against Auburn. He broke the single game rushing record, but LSU lost in a great game. The Diesel was a pure waste of talent. He could have been so much. Jimmy Johnson was quoted as saying that Cecil was the most talented back he has ever coached. That says a lot, considering Johnson coach Emmit, and great backs at the U. Johnson doesnt just give a compliment like that.
