Any feat rare enough that just five running backs have accomplished it in the history of the Southeastern Conference is worth celebrating.

Leonard Fournette, Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry, here’s your ultimate one-game goal. Amaze us this season.

Four SEC running backs came within 10 yards of 300 in a single game: Kentucky’s Moe Williams, Tennessee’s Chuck Webb, Alabama’s Shaun Alexander and Auburn’s Bo Jackson.

But a handful of others have powered past the 300-yard plateau on some awe-inspiring SEC Saturdays.

DARREN MCFADDEN, ARKANSAS

Yards: 321
Rushes: 34
Opponent: South Carolina
Date: Nov. 3, 2007

The official SEC record book says McFadden ran for 321 yards, but all the stories published from Razorback Stadium that day credited him with an SEC-record 323. Either way, it was a masterful performance. It’s hard to believe that of Arkansas’ 48 points, McFadden only accounted for one rushing touchdown. (It was an explosive 80-yard sprint, and McFadden also threw for one touchdown.)

McFadden’s performance was a signature game for the Hogs’ three-pronged rushing attack, as Felix Jones and Peyton Hillis also combined for 201 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

After the game, Arkansas coach Houston Nutt campaigned for McFadden in the Heisman Trophy race by comparing him to Barry Sanders. Said South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, according to the Associated Press: “Obviously it was a mismatch tonight. Looked like a Division III team trying to play an SEC team. Or maybe a Division III team could have slowed them down a little bit better than we could.”

FRANK MORDICA, VANDERBILT

Yards: 321
Rushes: 22
Opponent: Air Force
Date: Nov. 18, 1978

One week after Georgia Tech’s Eddie Lee rushed for an NCAA-record 356 yards against Air Force, Mordica threatened to break the mark against the same reeling Falcons rush defense.

He rushed for five touchdowns in a 41-27 Vanderbilt win that broke a seven-game losing streak, but with the Commodores at midfield and driving with more than three minutes left in the game, coach Fred Pancoast pulled his star running back.

“We had people on our bench pleading with me to leave Frank in the game, let him carry the ball every time and get the record,” Pancoast said after the game, according to VUCommodores.com. “I think he could have done it, too. As it was, the game ended with us on the goal line. But, I looked across the field at (Bill) Parcells standing over there with his beaten team. I knew his agony. I just couldn’t do it.”

Said Parcells, who eventually won 172 games and two Super Bowls in the NFL: “Mordica is the fastest back we’ve played. We have no one who can catch him. We never quit trying, but we are all ashamed. Obviously we need to recruit.”

EMMITT SMITH, FLORIDA

Yards: 316
Rushes: 31
Opponent: New Mexico
Date: Oct. 21, 1989

Ranked No. 20 at the time, the Gators nearly fell to the Lobos in a furious fourth-quarter comeback. But New Mexico only mustered 21 points, while Smith scored three rushing touchdowns by himself. Florida intercepted a late pass to put the game away, 27-21.

With quarterback Kyle Morris serving a season-long suspension for gambling on football and Lex Smith taken out of the game due to a gash that required 10 stitches, Florida leaned heavily on the more well-known Smith on the ground. His 72-yard touchdown burst in the second quarter highlighted what was then the second-best rushing game in SEC history.

Smith broke Florida’s all-time career rushing and rushing touchdowns records during the game, ending it with 3,457 rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns, respectively. Errict Rhett eventually broke Smith’s Florida rushing record, but Smith still owns the NFL record with 18,355 career yards.

CURTIS KUYKENDALL, AUBURN

Yards: 307
Rushes: 33
Opponent: Miami
Date: Nov. 24, 1944

Tre Mason’s SEC championship performance in 2013 was iconic (more on that later), but he couldn’t top Curtis Kuykendall’s ’44 classic.

Auburn did not field a football team in 1943 due to World War II. The Tigers didn’t play Alabama in ’44. The program’s only other victories that season came against Samford, Fort Benning and Presbyterian. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Kuykendall became a veterinarian.

Information about his legendary stat line is difficult to find, but Auburn beat Miami on the road, 38-19.

TRE MASON, AUBURN

Yards: 304
Rushes: 46
Opponent: Missouri
Date: Dec. 7, 2013

This game didn’t lack for offensive highlights as Auburn won, 59-42. But Mason earned the game’s MVP award as by far its most productive player, putting away the East Division Tigers with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Auburn earned its first SEC title since Cam Newton played quarterback for the team in ’10 and secured a spot in the BCS Championship with this win.

Mason carried the ball an astounding 46 times, second-most in conference history to Herschel Walker’s 1981 performance against Florida. It became more and more obvious that Missouri was ill-equipped to stop Mason as the game wore on. He rushed 15 times in the third quarter alone, which is a full game for many running backs.

It capped a torrid stretch for Mason, who ran for 164, 304 and 195 yards in his final three college games, scoring a combined seven touchdowns against Alabama, Missouri and Florida State.
