Bo was #2 RB in his class behind Fournette.
Damien Harris was the #1 RB in his class.
Joshua Jacobs was severely underrated in his recruiting as a 3-star.
Najee Harris is arguably the #1 recruit from this past class.
Hurts is a dangerous runner who ran for 954 yards and 13 TD's last year.

If Hurts can open up the field with his passing, this offense could be downright nasty. Hurts needs to improve by a lot though with his downfield passing, so we will see.

Yep...but like any other year, you will win the conference with defense.

Yeah, that's just true for the SEC in general. Defense owns this league.

I had a friend was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was
Glory days, well, they'll pass you by
Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days

Was Joshua Jacobs severely underrated or is that line so good even a 3 star RB looks like a stud? Things to ponder.

Bo has already proved himself as a beast. Harris is a great runner in the mold of Mark Ingram. Joshua Jacobs is an amazing pass catcher out of the backfield. Najee will be great. It's going to be a good year, and all you guys have is a transfer from Sex Ed U.

Alabama will be as dangerous as always. Top talent with top coaching. How is Bama's OL looking?

OL is pretty set except for RG. RT might still get a look from several FR to push the stater from spring.

Sure did. Dominated Arkansas State, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt. Big time games. Bad defenses beware.

Does Auburn have another running back besides him?

He also didn't play in three because of injury.

"The right guard position was an unsettled position for the majority of the season in 2016 with a variety of different players earning starts in the 15 games. Offensive line coach Brent Key would like someone to win the job early this season, but last season proved the coaching staff isn’t afraid to shake things up week to week. With a stable of talented and versatile running backs, this offensive line could be counted on to open holes all season long. This could be a running back’s dream line."

So at best he is unproven against good defenses.

Is Alabama "weak" at any position considering the recruiting they have been doing the last couple of years?
