EVIL, EVIL RUNNING
Gamecock defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix will wake up screaming for the next year thinking about a South Carolina defense that gave up 541 yards to the Arkansas Razorbacks; if he were a thinking man, he'd just keep a tranq pistol next to his bedside and shoot himself with it every time he did this, since the horror won't fade for a while.
It shouldn't. The chief agent of all that horror was this man, Darren McFadden, who ran for 323 yards, threw for a touchdown, and ran for one that will simply scramble your mind on viewing.
Who gives a shit about awards. That's just pure, boiled evil--four defenders with angles running out of speed in pursuit as McFadden glides forward as if surrounded by a force field. It needs no more certification that what your eyes are telling you: that that man is a mutant, and needs to be registered with the Federal Government immediately.

The best part of that clip is Boyd’s face.

He moves so smoothly, like the puck on an air hockey table. Everyone just looks silly chasing him. He may not be the fastest guy out there (ask Jack Ikegwenu), but he slides across the field like the wind.
Is it wrong to have a man crush on D Mac?

One correction though, Arkansas had 541 yards of just RUSHING. They had something like 700 yards of total offense.
These numbers are ridiculous. At one point in the game, Felix Jones had 4 carries for 130 yards and 2 TD’s. On McFadden’s last 6 carries he had 150 yards.

How is it that Arkansas ever loses? McFadden is like Christine.

It’s a carbon copy of the run that thrust him into the SEC spotlight as a freshman against my Dawgs back in 2005.
Everytime I watch him, I always think about this site’s ingenious nickname.
Humanity Advanced, indeed.

Good Lord, what could Arkansas have been with a more aggressive coach calling plays and a better than mediocre QB?
Even live my jaw still dropped.

BeardedGuy: I seriously hope you aren’t referring to the Capital One Bowl where McFadden on one wheel was caught from behind.
When healthy, there’s no one in football who can catch him.

I, too, was going to comment on the hilarity of Cory Boyd’s reaction, but Stranko beat me to it. Boyd may have been disgusted, but deep down he was thinking, “Now, that man is back like cooked crack.”

Crikey.
Darren McFadden might be the best running back to ever strap on pads. I’ve been saying since his freshman year that he was the best RB in the nation. Unfortunately, he proved it last night.

He’s a freak, a complete and total freak.
The best defensive game seen this year was AU vs Arkansas, where somehow, Muschamp and his Squad of Boom Motherfuckers held him to 40 yards. I still don’t know how AU did it.

Here’s a delicious ponderable for you folks:
McFadden is 575 yards away from breaking the single season SEC rushing record held by Hershel Walker ; he has 3 remaining conference games (TN, MSU, LSU), the 3 teams he has fared best against in his career outside of South Carolina.
Plus he gets the bowl game. If McFadden is McFadden like, he may own two of the most important rushing records in college football.
by Will on Nov 4, 2007 2:52 PM EST reply actions
Kansas just scored again.
I hope McFadden shatters the record. And then, I hope he goes Pro.

If DMac doesn’t win the Heisman this year they should stop awarding it. He is the best RB on the planet.
by We Hail Thee, Carolina on Nov 4, 2007 3:42 PM EST reply actions
Please enlighten me. How is LSU ranked #2 when they have been fortunate to win in every game from Florida thru Bama and lost to Kentucky? Oregon has one loss to a Cal team while driving for a game tying TD? Also Kansas has gone undefeated thru the pedestrian Big 12. But if they beat Mizzou and Oklahoma in the B12 CG, can they be shutout by a one loss LSU that is as lucky as Tennessee in ’98 getting Clint Stoerner to fumble when running out the clock? BTW Oklahoma should not be ranked above any of the teams previously mentioned either. Colorado is a bad loss. Not Navy bad, but bad.
Oh yeah, Darren McFadden is the best college football player in the country, whether the Heisman votes reflect it or not.

It used to be

I have reports from Lawrence Kansas that seen entering mangino’s secret kansas love lair were 12 women, 4 whole cooked turkeys, 12 pies, and “enough mashed potatoes to cover all these beautiful women.” seen leaving………2 crying girls.

Herschel was and always will be the best back in SEC history, but DMac is getting closer. If he’s not named in the same breath, then when would he be?
by blackertai on Nov 4, 2007 4:48 PM EST reply actions
I prefer Herschel=Bo=DMac
All are different, but all are great.
Herschel and Bo were better at flat running you over. DMAC doesn’t do that as much, but he did finally show it this year vs Alabama. Reviewing the highlights on Youtube confirms this. DMAC is faster than diarrhea down a Tin Hole, and has pretty damn good field vision.
It’s a great debate, with each having it’s own. I think Bo was the best all-around athlete, and if he was ever in the wildhog formation, it would be scary. Bo could toss the rock – being the only person ever to hit the scoreboard in the Superdome with a foozeball…

Mike Hart, talking about when Michigan State went up by ten with 8 minutes left:
“I was just laughing,” Hart said. "I thought it was funny. They got excited. It’s good.
“Sometimes you get your little brother excited when you’re playing basketball and you let him get the lead. Then you come back and take it from him.”
I submit to you that Mike Hart is the perfect Michigan football player: very, very good, rarely transcendent, never really able to get you over the top, and a humongous, humongous asshole.

When I was a kid, somebody got that book, “Bo Stories,” for me for my birthday, probably as some kind of sick joke because I was a Bama fan (perhaps you’ve heard). The book turned out to be one of my favorites. I’ll never forget the story about him throwing out a runner from center field at Auburn — with a foot on the wall, strike to the plate.
As I traveled to Tuscaloosa via the alternate two-lane highway yesterday morning (wreck on the interstate), I passed McAdory High School and couldn’t help but imagine the carnage he must have caused on in that tiny stadium. What a freak he was, and a damn shame his career was cut short (and that he didn’t go to Bama as he was meant to).

Its hard to put D-Mac up there with Walker and Bo because Arkansas sucks so bad.

To Crabapple Buck (17): the reason is simple……………
……………… Its the SEC biatch. All others are just playing top dog. But how can you say that? example- Douchey McSweatervest and his god-like unbeaten Buckeyes-Vs-They shouldent even be on the same field UF.
SEC Beat down……..Nuff Said.
To RIP Logan Young(18): If McFadden Breaks the record in the faster meaner SEC of today, then why shouldent it be McFadden/Hershel/Bo. In my humble oppinion McFadden is already ahead of Bo on that list.

I understand where you’re coming from, but it’s got to be more than just the record. No reasonable football fan thinks Emmitt Smith is better than Barry Sanders or Walter Payton or Jim Brown just because he has the record (he still has it, right?). Same goes for JoePa or Bobby Bowden in comparison to Bryant (I hope).
That said, DMac is clearly in the same breath with those guys. The order is a matter of debate. What is not up for debate is that the Herschel/Bo/DMac triumvirate is the pantheon of SEC RB greatness.

What a hell of a runner, but smooth isn’t how I would term his running style. He is a great runner (and should be Heisman front runner) but if you want smooth, check out Calvin Johnson’s rushing TD vs Tampa Bay a few weeks ago, or Ted
Ginn. Those two are smooth runners. (Couldn’t f
The Hog Blogger – I heard on the radio the other day someone say that the Cowboys (who have 2 1st round picks due to the Brady Quinn pick traded by Cleveland) will use their 2 picks to trade up in hopes of drafting McFadden.

2midgets @ 26 – Does that mean that Nebraska still owns UF? Of course not, you fucking idiot. One game is just that, one game. That also means that McFadden is great, but not all-time greatest. Since you were probably not born when either Walker or Jackson played, your opinion won’t matter since you are still waiting to get laid for the first time by something other than your palm.

This is probably the one time in my life where I consider myself lucky that I was writing a paper during a Gamecock game. I turned it on just to see Felix Jones streak by for a touchdown and then I turned it off.

Uh, Hart had nearly 200 yards in that game, including a 54 yard TD run to take the lead with under 4 minutes left. What is he supposed to do after that, go out and sack Armanti Edwards 4 times?

Why do they lose??? The SEC should thank Gawd they have a coach that’s too busy text messaging (massaging?) his honey pie 17 minutes before kickoff. Give that talent to any average nincompoop & see what would transpire. This should happen every other week.

You want sweet Humanity Advanced/Herschel Walker stats? If DMac meets espn.com’s rushing totals at the end of the season he finishes just 800 yards back of Walker’s SEC career record. Presuming he returned for the senior season he’d destroy Walker’s mark.
Walker, though, piled 5200 and change in just 33 career games.
- is Kevin Faulk, some 700 or 800 back in an excellent 41 game career.

You also have to remember, Bo did what he did in a multi-back system. Many years they had 3+ RB’s, most of whom made the NFL. That takes a little away from his production but there is a possibility DMac is the better college RB.
by Alex on Nov 5, 2007 12:19 PM EST reply actions
Uh, Alex, you are aware that Felix Jones has > 1000 yards already this season, right? Multi-back, indeed.
by CFB Fan on Nov 5, 2007 12:56 PM EST reply actions
Yeah, Joe Cribbs and Felix Jones definitely took/have taken carries away from Bo and McFadden.
However, both teams had/have extremely heavy run based offenses.
In other words, neither back suffered from the lack of carries, I think.

The reason McFadden didn’t have a good game against Auburn is that he was hurt. He wasn’t letting anybody know how bad it was so he wouldn’t let his team down. What a MAN!!
