Compared to the turds they've had since, he's Barry Sanders. Look at this list of crap, their leading (non-qb) rushers since Bike moved on:

2008 Brandon Minor (533)
2009 Brandon Minor (502)
2010 Vincent Smith (601)
2011 Fitz Toussaint (1041)
2012 Fitz Toussaint (514)
2013 Fitz Toussaint (648)
2014 De'Veon Smith (519)
2015 De'Veon Smith (753)
2016 De'Veon Smith (846)

One 1000 yard back in the last nine years (Hairlice did go over 1000 as a qb in 2010 and 2011). A lot of that is the recruiting has been terribly mediocre at the position. Minor, Toussaint, and Smith were all low 4* guys. Green was their only 5* back they've recruited since, and he totaled 898 yards in three years (high of 471 in '14) before finishing his career this year at TCU gaining 141 yards. Ty Isaac was a 5* USC commit, but since transferring to scum, he's been unable to unseat the pedestrian De'Veon Smith. In the RB's defense, their OL's have been anywhere from TERRIBLE (2013/14), to at best mediocre (2015/16) the last four years. But neither Toussaint or Smith will ever be mistaken for game-breaking RBs.
