Best part is, you could do this for multiple years

2010
Richardson, Ingram, Lacey, Fowler

2011
Richardson, Lacy, Fowler

2012
Lacy, Yeldon, Drake, Hart, Fowler

2013
Yeldon, Drake, Henry, Fowler, Tenpenny, Hart


Who knows what will become of Fowler, Hart, Drake or Tenpenny but it wouldn't shock be in a combination of them have NFL careers.

These guys were awesome. Ronnie Brown was still on an NFL roster in 2014.

UGA's 2014 roster will end up being more productive.


Maybe more productive than Henry...but not more reproductive.

LSU this year is SICK. #1 RB unit in the country hands down.

Fournette
Guice
Ducre
Williams

If the OL holds up, they won't need to throw the ball much at all.

Same for Ronnie. A lot of good running backs from all these schools

This guy is soft. Sorry, but he is and comparing him in any way to Jamal Lewis, travis henry, travis stephens and Onterrio Smith is a travesty on your part.

Only 1 player in that group has proven anything at all. If we are saying "best unit" based on number of players with recruiting stars then heck Alabama is the best.

this seems to be the leader in the clubhouse so far. Let's look at UGA 2014 (Rushing ONLY):

(3 yrs) Todd Gurley: 510 for 3,285 (6.4) 36 TDs
(1 yr, so far) Nick Chubb: 219 for 1547 (7.1) 14 TDs
(1.5 yr, so far) Keith Marshall: 185 for 1029 (5.6) 9 TDs
(1 yr, so far) Sony Michel: 64 for 410 (6.4) 4 TDs
(2 yr, so far) Brendan Douglas: 139 for 575 (4.1) 5 TDs


Only 1 of those players has finished their career. By the time it's all over with I think that group top to bottom can stand with anyone.
