There&#x27;s no arguing the fact that Edgerrin James was the best running back ever to have played for the Miami Hurricanes.  After a relatively average freshman year, Edge exploded in his sophomore season when he rushed for 1,098 yards on only 184 carries, scoring 13 touchdowns and averaging six yards per carry.   His last and final year as a junior in 1997 was his best, and Edge left on a high note: 1,416 yards rushing on 242 carries, scoring 17 touchdowns while averaging 5.9 yards per carry.
