If Bo played for any other team that didn't run the wishbone, he would still hold the rushing yardage record
Which is of course untrue. Bo couldn't have held up physically. And before any if you idiots get your panties in a twist look at the injury history for both.

Everyone on both teams knew Herschel was getting the ball and they couldn't stop him. He was Georgia's entire offense against Notre Dame and even hurt he carried them.

Bo was hurt twice during his career at AU. One time after a long run when he fell on his shoulder on the hard astroturf in TX and when he took a hard hit on his knees during the TN game. He wasn't injury prone and returned to play well before the normal person. Running out of the I you are less likely to take the below the knee hits that a wishbone RB took. Your eyes where more on the Line then those backs that had to wait for a pitch, which made the body more vulnerable. You saw what Bo did in the NFL running the ball as a hobby, if Pat Dye would have used him like that there wouldn't be an argument about who was the best.
