I messed up and the #20-24 are going longer than 4 days.  Doesn't matter much, but whatever.

Have fun with this group, jeeez.

I did not know that Darren Lewis was sentenced to 27 yrs in federal prison a few years ago.

Rocket was the first player that I tuned in specifically to see.

I idolized Rocket Ismail, but Gordon is the most underrated college football player of all time.  He'll get his due respect in time, but we've whiffed on him as an audience.  His 2014 season is basically a Barry Sanders season, plus he averaged over 8 yards per carry outside of that season for his college career.  It's not that he finished 2nd to Mariota for the Heisman, it's that Mariota won in a colossal landslide that shows me Gordon is underrated.  

For all his exploits, Ismail only scored 15 TDs his entire career.  The threat of him was bigger than the actual production.  Gordon had more than that in his first 7 games of his SR season.

Probably mostly here, but also in person and in other situations, I'm flabbergasted at how often earnest, genuine seeking of knowledge is taken by others as 'trying to prove a point'.

The leaps people make......I just can't.

Jamaal Charles was so good at Texas, I wished he'd stayed for his final season.  Colt McCoy might have gotten to play for a MNC earlier than 2009.

But Charles wasn't the best ever with this number.  I don't know if Rocket was, but he's the one that gets my vote.

It would be fun to have a website that had "what if" stats for every player who left early.  Just a 4th year - an average of their starting seasons - tacked on to see what their stats might have been.

It's easy to do it for one or two players, but to have entire leaderboards would be cool.

Yup.  The Dawgs had a pretty good team after Herschel, but no passing game at all.
