I watched plenty of football last year. Sorry if I didn't memorize the name of your 647 yard rusher with nearly 1/4th of his production from one game against a Pac 12 team.

Your memory just must be terrible. If I watch a game of any team, I'll at least have an idea who a player is if he plays.

As for "featured back," I mean someone with a workload equivalent of Mason, who didn't even come close to averaging 9 ypc

Well no shite. Mason was used much more up the middle.

Are you seriously suggesting that Grant is good enough to shoulder the bulk of Auburn's rushing game and have a ypc average that would easily place him amongst the greatest running backs of all time?

No. Where did I indicate otherwise? Grant is used in a role that magnifies his speed. the plays he gets called for will be big chunk plays. He won't get that many runs up the middle, because we have a bigger back that is just as good, to do that.

Statistically, Grant will probably end close to 10 ypc, as he did last year. Even with an increased role.
