Two former star SEC running backs will be on opposite sidelines Sunday when Los Angeles and New England meet for Super Bowl LIII.

Todd Gurley and Sony Michel were teammates at Georgia. Now they’re competing again. This time, not for carries in the same backfield, but for the game’s most coveted hardware: The Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Logic suggests their team needs them to have a big game to win.

History suggests that won’t be easy.

Rushing yards are difficult to come by in the Super Bowl. Just 21 times in the game’s 52-year history has a running back eclipsed 100 yards. Only 41 times has one topped 75 yards.

SEC running backs have done both. Here are the 8 best performances from an SEC running back in Super Bowl history.

8. Joseph Addai (LSU/Indianapolis)

Super Bowl 44 (2009 season)

Skinny: This was Addai’s second Super Bowl trip with the Colts. He ran for 77 yards and scored his first and only Super Bowl TD in the 31-17 loss to New Orleans.

7. Joseph Addai (LSU/Indianapolis)

Super Bowl 41 (2006 season)

Skinny: Addai was a rookie. Peyton Manning the unquestioned star. The Colts beat the Bears 29-17. Manning was named the MVP, but the rushing game was the difference. Addai had 77 yards and Dominic Rhodes ran for 113.

6. Shaun Alexander (Alabama/Seattle)

Super Bowl 40 (2005 season)

Skinny: Alexander ran for 95 yards in a 21-10 loss to Pittsburgh. The Super Bowl MVP? Former Georgia standout Hines Ward. It was Alexander’s only trip to the Super Bowl.

5. Jamal Lewis (Tennessee/Baltimore)

Super Bowl 35 (2000 season)

Skinny: Ray Lewis anchored the mighty Ravens’ defense and won the Super Bowl MVP. The Ravens manhandled the New York Giants 34-7. Their defense was so historically dominant they didn’t need a lot of help from the other side, but Lewis provided it with 102 yards and a TD run.

4. Emmitt Smith (Florida/Dallas)

Super Bowl 27 (1992 season)

Skinny: Dallas blew out Buffalo 52-17. The onslaught started early, and Smith contributed. He ran for a game-high 108 yards and added a late TD. It was his third consecutive 100-yard effort in the Cowboys’ run.

3. Terrell Davis (Georgia/Denver)

Super Bowl 33 (1998 season)

Skinny: Davis followed his Super Bowl 32 MVP performance with another 100-yard effort. He finished with 102 yards as Denver beat Atlanta 34-19 to repeat as Super Bowl champions.

2. Emmitt Smith (Florida/Dallas)

Super Bowl 28 (1993 season)

Skinny: Smith was named Super Bowl MVP, and why not? He ran 132 yards and 2 touchdowns as the Cowboys beat the Buffalo Bills for the second consecutive year, 30-13. Smith’s rushing total was his second-highest in 17 career playoff games.

1. Terrell Davis (Georgia/Denver)

Super Bowl 32 (1997 season)

Skinny: Has there been a better playoff running back? Davis topped 100 yards 7 times in 8 career playoff games — and twice in two Super Bowls. He had more rushing yards in other games, but his best effort came in Super Bowl 32. He ran for 154 yards and a Super Bowl record 3 touchdowns — including the game-winner with 1:47 left as the Broncos outlasted Green Bay 31-24. He was named MVP in a game featuring Hall of Fame QBs John Elway and Brett Favre.
