57 days until Gator football! To help break up the time, here is a list borrowed from another site ranking the top running backs in Gator history. What does everything think of this list?
For comparison, Percy Harvin's combined 3,781 career rushing and receiving yardage would be ranked #3 if counted solely as rushing yards, and his 32 combined TDs would have him ranked #3. If Percy's rushing stats were solely counted as receiving stats he would be ranked #1.
