I don't care what competition they play against.... He has nearly double the numbers some of the all-time greats had.... In fact, he had double a lot of them in about 6 games this year.

I'm not following things that closely, but level of competition will factor into the decision.

Look at his tape. He makes moves not seen since Emmitt... and maybe even Barry Sanders.
UNLV was probably the best defense he played this season (except maaaaaybe Oregon). He would've had more against UNLV but he got beat up pretty bad, including the elbow injury, and he stayed in. He covers for a lot of bad OL and QB play.

Jeanty is a beast. If he can continue the level of production he's put out so far, I think he'll win it easily. Monster numbers!

He leads the nation in rushing yards by 200 and is second in rushing touchdowns. He's averaging 196 yards/game, so extrapolate that over 13 games, he'd be at 2,548 rushing yards for the season. That's 80 yards short of Barry Sanders' record. He's averaging 2.5 touchdowns/game, so he's on pace for 33 touchdowns for the season. That would be 4 short of Sanders' record.

Only 29 guys in the history of college football have gone over 2000 rushing yards in a season. Only 5 guys in the history of college football have over 30 rushing touchdowns in a season.

Maybe he can transfer to us and we can have a second Heisman running back for the Gamecocks!
