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.

Not sure who'd you call #3, I thought he was injured. Malik Miller. That left us with Kam Martin and a converted WR.

Gus played Kam P because the kid was cleared to play...not because he was 100% but he couldn't hurt the injury worse. It was obvious he was never the same after Vandy. It probably shouldn't shock you that bama is a deeper team than Auburn and really everyone else. It is easier to sit players when the production drop isn't as bad.

That being said this is all stupid. I would trade our backs today for Bo. However, our backs behind the 2016 bama line would likely have done more than Bo. Bo looks like a legit NFL back when healthy...KJ hasn't proven that to me and Kam still has some work to do. JS might prove to be a world beater, but Jalen also might step up his passing game and enter Cam and DW territory this season...Looking at everything on paper it looks like this years Iron Bowl will be a great game.

Sounds reasonable to me.
