The problem with that argument is that it compares apples to oranges. Many players in FBS history played in only 10 or 11 games and bowl games didn't count. Gordon will get to play in 14. By way of example, Barry Sanders averaged 238.9 ypg in 1988.


Gordon got to 2000 in fewer carries than anyone in history.

1995 was not a snub. They basically even admit as much in the writing here. Eddie had over 1900 yards. I get that people think Frazier should have won but "snub?"

Barry Sanders got to 2,850 yards and 44 touchdowns if you count his Holiday Bowl performance.

He may have needed more carries or whatever, but whoa.
