The Derrick Henry hype train is out of control. He's our 4th string back, at best. Has no business being on this list.



Kenyan Drake has yet to be unsteated as the back-up. Then's there is Jalston Fowler coming back from injury. The Derrick Henry hype definitely needs to be slowed. Lets seem him fight off Altee Tenpenny, Alvin Kamara, and Tyren Jones first.

This order may be in the DA's hands now.

$5 Jeremy Hill becomes the best back after going to serve time.
He is going to get prison buff.

Keith Marshall at 4 is such a joke. Against the only 3 decent defenses he faced (south Carolina, Florida, Alabama) he rushed for 37, 4, and 3 yards respectively


It doesn't matter much, but against bama I tink he only had like 2 or 3 carries. It was almost exclusively Gurley that game.

If someone comes up from behind, he'll find another gear, for sure.

What are they smoking with the UT stable rated so highly?

8. Marlin Lane, Tennessee (JR)
9. Rajion Neal, Tennessee (SR)




They finished 18 and 15, respectively, in yards last year. UT finished 8 in yards and 10 in rushing touchdowns. I must be missing something other than their line stinks, no?

Two things I knew without clicking the link:

1. Jalston Fowler would be overlooked.
2. If a Tennessee fan said it looks right, TJ Yeldon would not be first.

On what basis would you put him ahead of Gurley?

It's like somebody didn't even watch the game they played vs each other.

Thanks for posting rick so I didn't have to up their hit count

Yeah, the first thing I wanted was cliffs so I didn't have to go over there, but the OP fricked it up. It's like he's never posted on this board before.

He had 6 carries against Florida and Bama. I don't necessarily think he's top 5 but he's far from a scrub.

Blue will definitely be Top 10 by season end. The guy was running so well before going down with injury last season early on.

With Hill's situation I think it's a no brainer Blue at minimum starts in front of him to begin the year, and he could definitely hold that spot too.

But how many teams besides LSU/TAMU have three RBs in the top 20?

Does that count for something? After all, you said the list seems accurate.

Derick Henry won't even be in our 2 deep.

In Vandy's terrible history at RB I would bet there were points that you would not have had a VU RB in the top 40. To have 3 in the top 27 according to Athlon is pretty impressive for us, VU is going to lean on those guys with what should be an improved OL next season.

Doesn't matter. Your team is all passing and Manziel running. Nobody in SEC knows or will know your RB's from Adam.
