I know it is spelled differently, but if his nickname isn't "The Mad King" then they're doing it wrong.

I could have sworn, that according to some State fans Williams was a better back.

Jalen Hurts is our best running back, currently ranks 4th in the SEC in rushing yards ahead of John Kelly.

Interestingly enough the top 5 leading rushers in the SEC after 2 games are as follows
1)Damarea Crockett Mizzou 299 yards 2 td's
2)Trayveon Williams Texas A&M 256 yards 3td's
3)Derrius Guice LSU 224 yards 4td's
4)Jalen Hurts Alabama 209 yards 2 td's
5)John Kelly Tennessee 208 yards 4 td's

So Guice has more yards and the same amount of td's, yet they have Kelly rated higher. Kelly is good but Guice is better.

List is shite.

Chubb is a shell, has no business in the top 5

Webb 37 carries, 103 yards has no business in the top 10

Kelly at #1 must be a typo. iirc We heard all off season about how much of a step back we would take in the run game with Kamara and Hurd leaving.

Not being a homer here ... could care less about SDS rankings and all of those backs listed are solid backs, a few of them well above average to excellent. But I promise this, SC has a trio of three backs, all three different styles, all three seriously solid backs in Rico Dowdle, Ty'son Williams and A.J. Turner.

My point is this fwiw which is about as much as a piece of bubble gum costs these days.

They are all three physical, all three good blockers, all three have one thing, one strength, that they excel-at while still being solid in other areas that SEC level backs need to be competent-in.

I can never remember in all my years having three solid backs like this at the same time. I know UGA and Bama often go five or six deep at RB, and LSU always seems to have three. Tennessee used to always have three, rarely fewer than two. We've had some great ones over the years but never this deep and solid ... and I like it a lot.

Anyways, congrats to all the programs who have backs who made the SDS' list.

SC's are young, but three to watch if you get a chance.

Rico is a bulldozer. He'll wear down a defense.

Ty'son is a big speedy prototypical SEC back with great lateral moves, great vision and good instincts and breakway speed.

A.J. is all heart, physical for his size and fearless. Really quick and when he catches the ball outta the backfield he has a great first step and he can motor.

I hope they get a chance to really show their stuff this weekend. I suspect they might.

Based on rankings for just this season, I'm surprised he's this high. I'm not taking anything away from Webb because I think he is personally one of the top 5 or 6 backs in the league. He just hasn't broken out this year for whatever reason. The boxes don't seem that much more loaded than last year, but maybe the OL is just not gelled yet.

Lol Guice is by far the best RB. John Kelly is good tho. Only real threat on the Vols.
