Henry is great, but he can't do it all. Who do you want to come in now?

I mean, it's Harris or Bo. I don't care who it is, as long as they hold on to the ball.

Harris or Bo, I wanna see what Bo can do on 3-5 carries in the second half.

Henry is also the number 2 back. Harris or Bo are #3

I hope Minkah and Jake's shoulder are okay.

On the SEC network they said Drake will be back in 3 weeks, so he'll be back for whatever postseason games we make.

It will be good to get our backups some reps though.

This is the 3rd game Drake has been knocked out of this year. Bama just runs Henry more.

Stewart could probably fill the role of catching the little pop passes in the backfield. As far as running the ball, feed Henry around 25-30 times per game and let Harris and Scarborough split the other 10 or so carries.

I'd like to see what Harris can do behind the 1st string O-Line

I see promise with Harris and Bo. Harris needs a little more blocking, while Bo seems like he could run like Lacy once he gets more comfortable.

If we're favoring ball security I'd go with Harris. Bo made a couple of odd bobbles today. I still think Bo hits the hole faster and goes for positive yards on most of his runs, while Harris just hasn't adjusted to the speed of the game yet.

rest of the regular season isn't it?

I hope he goes off when he gets back though. Really like to see him go out with a bang.

Henry will get the ball 35+ times a game now lol...if someone doesn't step up soon we're in trouble next year unless we land an all-world talent true frosh.

They will be good with a year under their belt. Henry wasn't very good his first year either. Harris was the best high school back in the country last year.

but Harris does not appear to be the impact back at the college level. I dont think he will be our premier back next year like Henry is this year. We need Bo to step up next year or a true frosh. My opinion from the couch so dont lambast me with the harris comments. This is not dissing on him as there will be a roll for him like we have for Drake

And neither did Henry or Lacy their first year; that was my point. Harris will be the guy next year and Bo will play a lot as well, if he doesn't break more rules and stays healthy.

Exactly. If anyone recalls Henry's first few snaps of his career, vs Virginia Tech, he looked absolutely lost. Give the guy time.
