"friendship"
Is that what you kids are calling it these days? To be fair, friendship that is the most important component if it's going to be healthy and long lasting.
I'm honestly happy for you two.
Just don't hurt TTs or I will hurt you

You talking about when our RB played with a torn quad muscle and the other a high ankle sprain?
That's before you realize a current WR played QB for us so we had no passing balance
You may actually be the stupidest person on this board

I wouldn't trade any position group with them other than of course kicker. It's possible Stidham may be better than Hurts, but I will take proven, SEC experience over potential as of right now.

I will take Stidham over Hurts any day. You could make an argument that QB was Alabama's biggest weakness last year.

Blind Comparison here
Option A is the SEC Offensive Player of the Year
Option B has never played a snap

So your coach played a seriously injured player or you're making excuses why your guys sucked so badly vs Alabama's superior defense. Which is it? And if your coach did play a seriously injured rb, then your team must not be so loaded at the position after all. Yes, no, maybe?
On the flip side, Auburn's supposedly awesome defense couldn't stop Alabama much superior running game.

Well that supports the AU RB argument then
To be fair I would prefer Stidham + AU RBs too, just like how youd choose hurts + Bama RB

It's clear you are just trying to flame/be funny, But to do that you actually have to be clever and funny.
It's honestly embarrassing how subpar and lazy trolling has got on the rant. Seems the rant has gone the way of LSU football and embracing #tDecline

Not to jump into this riveting debate but it's not like Alabama's backfield is unproven.
The unit returns completely intact and finished 8th in YPC and 10th in YPG in 2016 nationally. 3 guys ran for more than 800 yards, 4 for more than 500. All 3 running backs averaged 6.5+ YPC. The QB averaged 5.0 YPC. All of that returns plus one of the 2 best high school running backs in the country.
- Damien Harris had 7 games of 85 yards or more
- Bo Scarbrough had 5 games of 85 yards or more
- Jalen Hurts had 5 games of 85 yards or more
- Josh Jacobs had 3 games of 85 yards or more
Lot of proven commodities running the football there, just in tandem and not all the numbers going to one guy.

Will he stay healthy? He was injured two times in 3 games he started.

I wouldn't include Hurts just since it is RB and not backfield. That's splitting hairs though
Just pointing out that Bo had multiple subpar games, more so than truly impressive ones.
Damien Harris was good but not exceptional.
Pettway had 6 games out of 9 played at RB with 150+ yards. 2/3 sub150 yd games were after a quad tear when he missed 2 games then played injured. He wasn't even supposed to play vs Bama
Like I said earlier, talent ceiling I'd give the nod to Bama RBs. Proven on field results very clearly favor AU stable of backs
Similarly I would say the same on AU vs Bama QB situation

If he was so seriously injured and Auburn's "stable of backs" is better than Alabama's, why did Malzhan play him?
It's a simple question. You should be able to answer this.
Posted on 8/4/17 at 8:32 am to Huddie Leadbetter
because by the end of the season the #2 and #4 backs (KJ and Malik Miller) were also injured. Kam Pettway was force to play because he was literally all we had left because injuries.

I'll take pretty much all of Alabama's RBs over Pettway.

Maybe so...but I just watched a highlight reel on him and holy shite...when he's on he's scary as f***. Bouncing outside and outrunning the entire UT secondary had him looking like Brandon Jacobs. I also had managed to erase from my memory how he trucked Deshaun Davis...and it wasn't one of those where he was caught flat-footed and the ball carrier had a full head of steam. DD saw him coming and was trying to lay the wood to him...and it was literally like he hit a dump truck.

Who was the #3 back? Why did Malzahn play a seriously injured player? Obviously, that's a risk to cause more injury. If your doctors cleared those players to play, then the players were not seriously injured, or Malzahn AND the doctors were complicit in playing a seriously injured player.
