great player, but was inferior to Sanders.
Barry Sanders simply put could do things that no other RB in the history of the game before or since could do. The year they actually gave him a FB in the NFL he ran for 2,053 yards and averaged 6.2 ypc. 
I thought stats were for losers....:67:

Game question: is QB based on TD/INT ratio, passer rating, or something else?
QB is based on completion % and interception %.  
Passer rating includes things like TD passes and yards per pass, which is built-into the game as your WR/TE card averages.  As for TD passes, that's up to you and how you coach/play the game.  If you try to ram it in with running plays near the goalline, your QB isn't going to have a bunch of pass TDs.  You might try a lot of long passes and get some that way, or you might just pass a lot overall, pass to set up the run, and your QBs may wind up with higher-than-average pass TD numbers.  
That part is in all in how you call plays and the luck involved in having successful plays.

So for single-season all-time Oklahoma State....
'88 Sanders - 344 carries
'76 Miller - 291 carries
'82 Anderson - 353 carries
'87 Thomas - 251 carries

So of the 20 run play cards, Sanders would have 5.  
I guess you could have your bell cow (Sanders) and 3 less-great season for your other 3 guys.  Sort of inflate Sanders' carries on purpose, but that's not really the spirit of the game, you know?

I went with single season stats as opposed to career

I hadn't thought about it, but for these all-time greats teams, I'd assign every team's defense the top run and pass defensive rating.  
So -4 yards vs the run if you correctly predict the play type and -8 comp%/+8 INT % vs the pass if you correctly predict the play type.

Wouldn't it be pretty lame to play as your beloved Cornhuskers and the QB isn't a running threat?
 Gerry Gdowski in (1989) did average 7.91 yards per carry

USC:

QB - Leinart (any year, they were all about equal, 03-05)
RB - '79 Charles White, '81 Marcus Allen, '05 Reggie Bush, '68 OJ Simpson
WR/TE - '12 Marqise Lee, '95 Keyshawn Johnson, '73 Lynn Swann, '72 Charles Young (TE), '93 Johnnie Morton, '15 Juju Smith-Schuster
K - '03 Ryan Killeen
P - '03 Tom Malone....wow, good special teams in '03
KR - '74 Anthony Davis....whoa
PR - '04 Reggie Bush
Pass Rush - '89 Tim Ryan, '03 Kenechi Udeze, '92 Willie McGinnest
Pass Def - '80 Ronnie Lott, '76 Dennis Thurman, '89 Mark Carrier



Good mix of older and recent.  A mix of famous guys and just great player seasons.  You could easily put any number of other RBs here.  You could have Dennis Smith at safety if NFL notoriety is your thing (but that's dumb).  Got a TE on there, which is good/realistic.  R. Jay Soward had a year with 29 yards per punt return, which is nuts, but it was on only 7 returns, so I tossed that out bc of low sample size.  So we have 2 different years of Reggie Bush on the team, which is weird/cool.

Yeah, I saw that.  I hadn't heard of him and looked him up.  What I meant was that you'd want him to be on some run play cards, so you'd have to drop a RB (only 4 ball-carriers per team).

Nah, I remembered him. He would have been 7th but if someone wanted to put him in there I wouldn’t have a problem with it.  I really thought about him.

Has any school done less with more than Pitt over the 3 decades or so?   Look at the names on that list. And Dorsett has to be on there. Has to.

Since we're just going on best single season, I'll adjust my picks.

Oklahoma

QB (1) - Baker Mayfield (2017)

RB (4) - Billy Sims (1978), Greg Pruitt (1971), Samaje Perine (2014), Quentin Griffin (2002).  I dropped Adrian Peterson because he had a ton of carries and his ypc stat was not as good as the guys I've included.  Samaje Perine is still there to be used as a fullback if a fullback is needed.

WR/TE (6) - Dede Westbrook (2016), Mark Clayton (2003), Marquise Brown (2018), CeeDee Lamb (2018), Mark Andrews (2017), Germaine Gresham (2008)

K - Austin Seibert (2018)

P - "Indian" Jack Jacobs (1940), averaging 47.8 yards per punt.  If there's not enough data on him, go with Tress Way (2009), with 45.7 ypp.

KR - Alex Ross (2014)

PR - Antonio Perkins (2002)

Pass Rushers (2-4, sacks only) - Martin Chase (1997) Cedric Jones (1994), Aubrey Beavers (1992)

Pass Defenders (2-4, INTs only) - Rickey Dixon (1987), J.T. Thatcher (2000), Scott Case (1983)
