LOL what kind of numbers would Mike Hart or Darren McFadden or about a dozen other RB's put up in the same situation.
for the last time...he's not the best RB in college. you can say he put up the best numbers, but he put them up against weaker competition week in and week out
Oh please. If the Heisman is supposed to go the player with most outstanding season that was not McFadden. Smith was clearly the best RB in the country this year. Here are their respective game-by-game comparisons (rushing only):
McFadden:
Troy - 24 for 151, 1 TD
Alabama - 33 for 195, 2 TDs
Kentucky - 29 for 173, 1 TD
North Texas - 29 for 173, 1 TD
Chattanooga - 25 for 122, 1 TD
Auburn, 17 for 43, 0 TDs
Mississippi - 22 for 110, 0 TDs
Florida International - 19 for 61, 4 TDs
South Carolina - 34 for 321, 1 TD
Tennessee - 22 for 117, 0 TDs
Mississippi State - 28 for 88, 0 TDs,
LSU - 32 for 206, 3 TDs
Smith:
North Carolina State - 35 for 217, 2 TDs
Texas - 27 for 149, 2 TDs
Memphis - 22 for 124, 3 TDs
Louisiana-Lafayette, 33 for 223, 3 TDs
East Carolina - 29 for 147, 1 TD
South Florida - 18 for 55, 0 TDs
Tulsa - 33 for 170, 3 TDs
Southern Miss - 43 for 175, 2 TDs
Marshall - 29 for 188, 2 TDs
UAB - 41 for 320, 4 TDs
Southern Methodist - 20 for 177, 2 TDs
UTEP - 46 for 219, 1 TD
Tulsa - 39 for 284, 4 TDs
That last game by Smith was for the conference championship.
Both had some tough games, both played some soft teams.
And he didn't just put up the best numbers. He rushed for more yards than any player in college football history except Barry Sanders and will likely pass Barry after the bowl game.
