Why indeed would our fans celebrate the potential return of the guy who put up arguably the greatest rushing season in the history of the program?

Uh... Kevin Faulk and Charles Alexander said for you to do your research and they will not "argue" with you.

He said "arguably". As in one could say it's true and not get laughed at, which is true.

Hill vs. Faulk: Hill had more yards, more TDs, on fewer carries (well carries were basically even in Faulk's Junior year) than Faulk ever had. Faulk was just consistently good and also had a much bigger impact receiving and returning.

Hill vs. Alexander's best year: Alexander had 1 more TD and 285 yards more but also had 108 more carries that year.

If you extrapolate Hill's totals based on Alexander's touches his line would've been 311att 2,146 yds 24.5 TDs.

Hill demolished the single season YPC record. I think it's pretty much a three-way tie between them ultimately. Alexander got the benefit of lots of carries (can you imagine Hill carrying the ball 53 times in a game?), and Faulk did a lot more than just run.

Methinks you are the one that needs to do some research.
