I'm not sure why some fans (not pointed directly at you crow, just saying in general) think that was a dirty play. There was nothing wrong with it, just like there was nothing wrong with the LSU player rolling on todd's ankle. It's football, it happens.

I didn't say it was dirty. That's just what factually happened. Keith Marshall blew out his knee due to a tackle administered by Cam Sutton.

The first two Vols that responded to it didn't seem to have a problem with. I only included Cam Sutton as a way to link the story for a UT fan I was responding to.

How that UGA football team lost 3 regular season games two of which to UF late in the year and to the worst Gamecock team in the last five years (normal Gamecock team before that) I will NEVER understand.

National Championship level team easy.

Everything takes longer to develop under Les Miles....some things never develop i.e. QB

Plus, we rarely allow featured backs

Well we had 2 1000 yard rushers that both return and UGA doesn't. Not sure why this is rustling so many jimmies.

Well, they are ranking RB units. Not sole RBs. And I like the fact that they are going by production and not potential.


If this is the case, explain Alabama's ranking. Their bellcow didn't even hit 1000 yds and their other returning RB is coming off a major leg injury. I have no issue with the other rankings, just this one.

UGA fans know (my self included), that we excel at underperforming.

I love preseason rankings, they always start such meaningful threads...

Because he's healthy now, and there's another 5 star freak practicing along side them now, too.
The bellcow had more ypc and TDs than your bellcow.

I was just replying to the stupid "blind RV stats" hypothetical.

If this were actually true LSU wouldn't even be top 5. They are factoring potential in pretty heavily.


I was under the impression this was a ranking for spring. Ducre is the only RB that enrolled for spring.

Not sure I'd have ranked LSU at this point.

POTENTIAL. If this is on actual on the fricking field production, then the "5 star freak" should not count, just as folks say LSU's 5 star incoming RB's.

All I ask is for the same criteria to be used to rank them and not give the media darlings some kind of bump for nothing.

They got the No. 14 team correct, our RB game is weak. Hopefully it improves next year though because Wilkins and Judd will get more touches.

I would put Arkansas at No. 2 and Georgia at No. 1 though. Chubb, Michel, Marshall, etc. That's nasty.

The fact they believe Henry alone is worthy of 3rd shows they have no clue.

Well then you have Henry, Drake, and Jones who have all produced.
3000 yards and 40 TDs from scrimmage coming back for Bama. About 1400 and 13 TDs for LSU.

Every team on that list, sans Arky, has 5*'s backing up 5*'s.

I am sorry, Master Alabama fan, I forgot that every player on Alabama is better than any other player on any other SEC team. Forgive my ignorance.
