Something that eluded Love. Sad, yes, but the young man has a rich future with or without football. We can only imagine what he might have done those seasons that were cut short. He's not built for this game.
Fair point - I hope it turns out to be wrong in the end, but fair point. Despite injuries, Bryce still put up fantastic career numbers and made up for it with toughness.
The biggest obstacle to Bryce's total ownership of the career record book was not injuries, but Christian McCaffrey. Had Bryce been RB #1 in 2016, and had he stayed even partly healthy that year, he would own almost all the Stanford career rushing records. He only needed another ~450 yards to top Stepfan's career rushing yards record.
Bryce's Resume:
1st - Career yards per attempt (6.79)
4th - Career yards (3,866), behind Stepfan, Darrin, and CMac, but ahead of Toby and Tyler
4th - Career 100-yard games (16)
5th - Career touchdowns (30)
1st - Season yards (2,118)
1st - Season 100-yard games (12)
1st - Consecutive 100-yard games (9)
1st - Season yards per attempt, modern era, excluding Andrew Luck (8.05)
1st - Game yards (301); and 3rd (263)
