re: ESPN ranks Alabama's RBs as the best position group in America

#1 rate JUCO running back. We'll see Nicolae

#3 actually. Notice I said Composite, meaning the only ranking that really matters.

Not really. He had 9.8 last year. If he averages 9 ypc this year, would you not say that is close to 10?

---

Did you note where I said he'll likely have more carries this year than last? Not as hard to post a high per carry average when you only carry the ball 66 times (46 came when AU was leading). Especially when only 17 of those carries came against ranked teams.

Yes, fifth. Maybe worse. I'd like to see what USC has behind Davis and Ark other than Collins. Bama, LSU and UGA are all unarguably better groups.

He has more physical talent than Mason. That you wouldn't even classify him as a "solid back" makes you appear rather delusional. He won't get as much production as Mason, most likely. Too many players splitting carries, and more passing.

---

Ehh, he is bigger than Mason. He is much less elusive and not nearly as quick though. I might be pushing it saying he won't be a "solid back", but if he is the best the War Tigers have this year, then hope that Marshall actually learned how to pass or this season isn't going to be nearly as much fun as last.

I can't wait to see your reaction when he's one of the top rushers in the SEC.

You'll be waiting a long while. I'll be waiting about 7 months to see your reaction when he isn't top 3, though. :BartScottCan'tWait:
