[SDS]

Best chance to reach 1,000 yards:

•Todd Gurley, Georgia
•T.J. Yeldon, Alabama
•Mike Davis, South Carolina


Should come close:

•Cameron Artis-Payne, Auburn
•Derrick Henry, Alabama
•Alex Collins, Arkansas
•Kelvin Taylor, Florida


Too tough a feat?

•Terrance Magee, LSU
•Marlin Lane, Tennessee
•Jonathan Williams, Arkansas

I think some AU back will come close, but not totally convinced it's CAP. He's the best bet, but who knows until we get it going.

I think Corey Grant will be a 1,000+ yard rusher.

IMO there will be at least 7 1,000 yd rushers this year.

Collins had 1,000 last year. Williams was close, with over 900. It's certainly not "too tough" a feat for him to reach a 1,000. Carrier distribution will determine most of it.

Arkansas will have 2 thousand yard backs this year, IMO.

If Keith Marshall comes back with the same pizzazz he had as a freshman, he'll easily be in that second tier. Dude can run.

If you don't have a line, forget about a 1000 yards.

Have to like Bama's stacked corps.

One of the AU backs will get 1,000. And that will make it the 6th consecutive year with a 1,000 yard rusher.

Had 900 yards last year. He should get 1,000 this year.

List is shite.

Any list that doesnt have Leonard Fournette at 2000 yards and a Heisman trophy is wrong.

Everybody knows this. Just ask the corndogs.

If you're quantifying RBs by total yards, I have no problem with Magee or Fournette not being in your top two tiers. Harder to get those total yards when you're sharing caries as much as everyone expects these two guys will.

LSU is going to run the ball 40+ times a game so fournette and Magee with both have 800+ and at least one of them will be over 1000. It will most likely be Magee unless he gets injured.

May not be CAP but I don't think there's any way an AU RB doesn't rush for 1000, unless they evenly split carries 5 ways.
Even Mason did it in that shite Loeffler offense.

You missed Leonard Fournette, you know the guy who is the best rb prospect in years. He might not start right away but he'll be the hoss sooner rather than later. He could come in and be the beset back in the SEC.

Mizzou has three backs with the potential to be 1,000 yard rushers. It depends on if one of the three sets himself apart and gets enough carries.

Last season for Mizzou:

Henry Josey: 174 attempts, 1166 yards, and 6.7 ypc
Russell Hansbrough: 114 attempts, 685 yards, and 6.01 ypc
Marcus Murphy: 92 attempts, 601 yards, and 6.53 ypc

Hansbrough and Murphy are back. Sophomore Morgan Steward will get a bunch of carries too. Murphy is going to split time between RB and playing the slot this year, so Hansbrough could be that guy that gets 150+ carries.

Jalen Hurd will rush for more yards than Marlin Lane.
