That will be nice to hang in the locker room before the game. mark Ingram will run all over that thing they call a defense.


This I agree with. Ingram was probably going to anyway, but now he has something to prove.

I do expect Tate to put Rolo on his back at some point in the game though. And that is no disrespect to Rolo (he is a badass too).

I have to give Tate his props. He is a damn good RB and he is probably a better NFL type running back based on his size. Also, if you look at his numbers he is right there with Ingram as far as production.

He is a good kid and a great athelete and competitor and it is tough for guys like that to lose. He will do well in the NFL in my opinion.

If ingram said it about Tate is would be the truth and the kid has swagga.

I do wish ESPN would have posted the whole quote though. He gives props to ingram.

He is not the best RB in the league.

Strong words sometimes it's better just to hold that tongue back. Besides, doesn't Anthony Dixon have the second most rushing yards this season?

I agree, all of these networks are bad to take things out of context.

If you're insinuating Dixon, I agree. Dude's a beast...

Wait, I thought bama's oline was going to be down this year, and auburn's was one of the more experienced groups in the conference???

Auburn's line has been solid blocking for the run this year and people acting like Ingram is a product of the line should check his yards after contact stats. That being said I don't care about stuff like this, he's confident, he should be, he's wrong but that's ok too.

Tate probably should not have said it the way he did, but it is certainly debateable whether or not he is better than Ingram. This year, I would rather have Tate than Ingram. FAIL

Part of that is because he is a senior and I think if he was running behind Bama's line with that D where the O gets so many chances every game, FAIL AGAIN: IngraM still has less rushing attempts per game average, sooooo what does that have to do with the D from Alabama?
Doesn't Awbarn have a more high profile type offense and have better offensive numbers than Alabama according to stat charts? JUUUUUUUUST Asking

Really?

We are starting a redshirt freshman at right guard and a JuCo transfer at left tackle of all places. Not too mention we have a grayshirt at right tackle and a 5'11 center.

We ain't that great up front, but I believe we have done a good job with schemes and putting them in situations to be successful.

At one point Ingram led the nation in yards after contact.

PS FWIW I think Ben Tate is a one heck of a runningback.
