It feels like this is going to be the year of the running back in the SEC. The team that will do the best at it will also have a very physical OL and will have great depth at the position.

Why does that sound just like ALABAMA?

Definitely not anyone from SC. Our RB room is awful.

Most schools are doing RB by committee swapping out 3 guys so it’s a bit more difficult to stand out and display a full still set. The idea of a guy getting into a grove and getting better as a game progressed is all but gone

I like our group a lot. A great mix of experience, power, and speed. What's even better is no one has even taken a peek.

Judkins enters through the grove... It's been decided

If it's not Rocket it'll be because AJ Green and DJ ate into his carries.

If he stays healthy then I expect Judkins to have an All-American season. He wasn't even the starter when the season began last year and he still led the league in rushing. Ole Miss returns 4/5 starting OL and the passing game should take a significant step forward with Dart in year 2 which will open up more opportunities for Judkins.

There also may not be another coach in the country who schemes as creatively for his star players like Kiffin.

Johnson was the starter early in the 2021 season before he got hurt.

I like Alabama’s depth. But I doubt they have a RB that just takes all the carries. Jase McClellan and Roydell Williams are the veterans. But I think Justice Haynes is making a name for himself by the end of the season.

Arkansas has 4 good RBs so Rocket won’t need to carry the ball 25 times per game.

Dominick Johnson is healthy now. If he stays that way you will know his name by game 5. He was ahead of Rocket 2 years ago when he got hurt. The cat is 6’1’’ and about 255.

Arkansas’s running back room is probably the best of the country and will be redshirting an extremely good freshman running back

The past few years have kinda been empty on the RB front. We went from overloaded - every team had a superstar - to tumble weeds. Still a lot of very good RBs though.
