Is Dion Lewis still the best RB in the country?

Or did the Utah game just kill his spirits?

He never recovered from the Utah game.

LMJ, Ingram, Trent Richardson, and I'd even put Denard Robinson in the discussion.

Right now, Dion Lewis isn't the best RB on his own team

Denard is the best player in the country right now and I'm not sure there is even much of a discussion. If he stays healthy he could have the greatest season in college football history stats wise.

I agree. Technically, he isn't a RB, which is the only reason for my qualifier.

I saw this morning that he's on track to be the first play ever to get 2000 yards rushing + 2000 yards passing. That is ridiculous. He is responsible for more points than 54 FBS teams.

Uhhh he's not functionally a RB either

What? Just last month he was a first round draft pick.

Mark Ingram is a first-round draft pick that isn't the best RB on his own team, so that doesn't mean much.

That's debatable.

And he's still a better RB than 99% of the RB's out there.

BYU's all-time highest rushing for a season was Staley in 2001, with about 1600 yards. 2000 yards rushing by a quarterback is amazing, I wonder what the NCAA record is for a QB.

That said, I'll wager he won't get 2000 rushing.

Way too early to be shoveling dirt on Dion Lewis' grave. He still has two years eligibility, and might be dealing with something that Pitt has managed to keep hush-hush.

It is called a horrific O Line.

One of those teams, unfortunately, is BYU.

In fact, prior to today's game, Denard has 905 yards rushing, while BYU has 599 yards. Denard has 1008 yards passing, while BYU has 964 yards. So he has not only outscored our entire team, he has also accounted for more rushing yards, passing yards, and (obviously) total yards than the entire BYU team.
