I don't feel so bad about Troy not getting in before this now.

I tried to find a breakdown of his rushing yards by quarter. I saw somewhere that most of his yards were in the 2nd and 3rd quarters but I can't find the quote nor the stats. I hate that Hawks dismiss his accomplishments because the team sucked. Yes, the team sucked but played in several close games that year. Secondly, because the team sucked, there was absolutely no one else a defense had to worry about.
Rep to anyone that can break down that '96 season into rushing yards by quarters.

Run it down, CW. You can ask Troy about in the future article of "Where are they now..."
Wow, yea. Initially I was thinking, 20 years? But Barry Sanders did not get in for 22 years. DAMMNNN!!!

Do you see anyone in your list twice other than Davis? Gee maybe that should have counted for something Richard Head.
How is Ricky Williams not in the HOF? Love me some Troy Davis but Ricky was one of the best college RB's to ever play the game. The list of the 2000 yard backs that are in is incredible, some great company for Troy, well deserved.
Nice. It took them 22 years to put Barry Sanders in. Barry ******* Sanders. I am a Cyclone through and through but I have no delusions that Troy was a better RB in college than Barry.
Yeah, you are right. I made a mistake. Barry's number was called in 15 years. I had the wrong date of Marcus Allen's induction as well - but the number of years was right.
