Landlord Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Amazing that 5 of the top 8 have been in the last 10 years. Quote Link to comment
BigRedBuster Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Fantastic. If he averages 120 yards for the remaining three games this year then 13 games next year he will have 6401 yards. That obviously would be higher if they play 14 games next year. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Would never have guessed this from Ameer's freshman season. Dude came with the speed but has worked crazy hard to get better. Pretty impressive that a player from 1972 still heads the list. Quote Link to comment

Ameer has 1,439 Return yards...most of that came from his freshman year I think... Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 5. Marlon Lucky - 4,214 yards That is crazy. Maybe it was the Callahan years that make this one so hard to remember? I think AA has a future in the NFL with the right team. He's a tough back who has some good moves too. Needs to work on speed and ball handling but I love the guy's toughness and that he runs with determination. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Lucky got a ton of yardage catching screen passes. Guy had good hands for a RB and was actually probably under-utilized. Quote Link to comment

He was a good back and I do remember him catching passes out of the backfield too. I remember when we signed him. I was pretty excited as he was I think a 4 or 5 star rb back then.

SCode Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Question: Does "All Purpose Yards" include passing? I'm guessing not or EC would have been higher, right? Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted November 20, 2013 Author Share Posted November 20, 2013 no passing is not included. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Ameer is quick and hits the hole hard. He is mentally tough and a determined runner. Pretty good hands. He's physical enough. If he just had a little bit better breakaway speed.... But if that was the case, I would over look how tough the dude is and everything else he does so well. And he's modest and humble.

Yes, it does include passing. / or perhaps you were being sarcastic? lol All purpose yardage does not include passing. Total offense yardage does include passing but not returning.

Mavric Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Amazing that 5 of the top 8 have been in the last 10 years. Not really. The game has changed a lot in the last ten years. Same reason why it isn't as surprising that many of our worst defensive performances have come in the last 10 years. Not making excuses, just observations. Quote Link to comment

All-Purpose Yards (Rushing, Receiving, Returns) LINK I beg to differ, sir. / If All purpose yard didn't include receiving The Jet would be much lower on that list. Quote Link to comment
