T.J Yeldon, 8 total, 7 rushing, 1 receiving

Amari Cooper 5 receiving

Kenyan Drake 5 rushing

Pretty impressive freshman class.

Bama's future is in good hands.

Is there any other SEC team that has three true freshmen who have all scored at least 5 TDs?

Yeldon is held back by Lacy. It's not really a fair comparison. I would take Yeldon individually over Gurley or Marshall, though.

I havent watched Bama play a ton but was surprised to see drake get that many carries and TD's. Are those garbage time carries or is he in the mix for first team carries?

i think its pretty even. Marshall gets more carries and more meaningful carries than Drake, but Drake has been very impressive each time he's been in. He hasnt had a bad game.

Yeldon and Gurley are both amazing. So is Jeremy Hill. Best group of freshman RBs in awhile.

Garbage time. He was 5th string, after 2 knee injuries to RBs he is 3rd string.

Garbage time carries but he'll be in the mix to get more important carries next year.

Yes garbage time. And idk if he's as good as y'alls two but I'm tellin ya Drake is and will be a stud for Alabama. He's fast and runs SO hard.

I'm going to be very shocked if Dee Hart isn't processed next year. He's pretty much obsolete and there's no room for him. Hart probably needs a full year off to recuperate from all the injuries anyway so sitting out a transfer season should help him out in the long run.

The player backed up by Norwood. You didn't know our leading receiver was hurt last week? I guess we don't make a big of a deal as some around here when it comes to key injuries.

Drake is of similar build to Yeldon, fast and shifty. His touchdowns against WKU and Arkansas were gorgeous.

Looks like the Tide will be even more devastating next year.

That that should frighten some of these LSU corndogs who been bragging about their freshmen.
