Auburn's 2004 offense says hello.

It had been done before, but that really showcased how two top notch RB's can be effectively used in the same offense.

"It's unique how they recruit," Bolding said. "They tell you just flat-out that, 'Hey, we're going to run two or three backs in the game. The shelf life in the NFL is a lot longer.'

I wished Miles would have thought of that.

everyone has been doing this for a while now, not sure why they made it seem like Saban is the inventor. oh well, its the truth. The RB position is not what it once was

Bama does it right. So does Georgia and LSU.

We had 5-star Christine Michael and 4-star Ben Melina sharing time with 5-star Trey Williams.

This next year, we have 4-star Melina sharing time with 5-star Trey Williams, 5-star Tra Carson, and 5-star Brandon Williams.

Oh I know, my remark was just to make a point. It is odd some media members are just now 'discovering' this breakthrough.

Most teams have 2 but one is much more dominant than the other. Bamas 2 have been really equal for the past few years as the article points out. Ingram/trent.....,trent/lacey,....Lacey/yeldon....

And it will continue with Henry/Yeldon and so forth!

Yeah, I don't understand why every time he post his players he has to put their star ratings by their names. Guess it makes him feel like it makes them better

Oh, I agree. I was just showing how highly recruited and talented RBs out of high school will be willing to share time at the same school. I wasn't fapping (too hard anyway).

Because it's relevant to the article the OP posted. Highly rated HS kids at RB are willing to share time at A&M.

This is probably what threw a curve...at least for a few.

But you're right, the 4/5 star guy is used to being the guy in HS. At a top notch program, that will most likely not be the case, and they need to understand that.

Saban is the smartest man on the planet. He really thinks of everything.

You seem to be quite the star gazer. Our lowly 4 star, true freshman back teabagged the Aggies at their place last year. I can't wait to watch what he does to them next year
