Dude Gurley is AMAZING but a lot of these runs, I'd even say most, he isn't touched till 6 yards down the field. Obviously he fricks up everything in his path but I'm not seeing the O line problems. God himself wouldn't have had more than 80 yards the way Alabama's O line played last week.

She might actually be the most attractive person I've ever seen. Joanna Krupa is up there too.

Their o-line has been rock solid both in pass pro and run game.

Thomas today was 11/124/3 ran inside and out.

Reason I say I think Thomas is better is he could play in all offenses. I think he catches the ball better. I also think he is quicker and faster.

I would like to see Gurley in the Oregon offense though.

He would be a star, you're fooling yourself if you say he wouldn't.

As Gurley would be in USC and anyone elses but Baylor, Indiana, OU or oSu offense. I'm just not sure he's a good fit for those

Yea I dont think Thomas could play in all offenses either. Of course hes quicker and faster. Hes 5'9 175lbs. If he was a RB in the SEC, he would get destroyed. Not saying he wouldnt break off a lot of big runs, but the dude would get demolised if he was in the SEC. Would he be good? Yes most likely. Would he put up the #s that he does at Oregon? Nope.

Theres a big diff in playing an SEC defense and playing Virginia/ pac 12 Ds.

dexter mccluster was under-sized and still incredibly successful in the SEC

Maurice Jones Drew is under-sized and a stud at the NFL level. There are a few mighty mites who can play at any level

No not really, you're only replacing one guy. I doubt he gets "destroyed".

I think I would rather have Thomas over Gurley.

But then I rather have Bo over Herschel. It's a personal preference

I never said he wouldnt be good in the SEC. He would be. He wouldnt be putting up the crazy #s that he does vs crap Defenses.

I would take a couple of RBs over Thomas. Only way I would take Thomas is if I ran an offense like Oregon. And thats not my style.

And again, hes 5'9 175lbs, he would get the crap knocked out of him. McCluster was successful at that size, but didnt put up crazy #s and also got the crap knocked out of him alot. MJD was freaking like 220lbs in college.

Gurley is the best RB in the country. Gurley would dominate anywhere in the country,regardless of the offense. I really doubt Thomas could be the starting RB in a power run offense, like most of the SEC teams run. He wouldnt be a RB, he would play WR in the SEC anyways.

No he wouldn't play WR at 5'9". He's fast version of McCluster and better athlete.

Again I'm not saying Gurley is bad or etc., just don't think he's best in country. Which I believe was original topic. I also would take Yeldon over Gurley (although they're 2a 2b). The people claiming Hill I'm just not seeing it.

The two guys who may end up in the convo is Seastrunk and Johnson.

Well he wouldnt play RB in the SEC at 175lbs. McCluster did. And he was tough, but didnt put up crazy #s. I think he only had 1 season where he rushed for over 1,000yards. Not saying DT would be bad either. If he was in the SEC he just wouldnt be in this conversation.

Im not gonna argue this all night but I just completely disagree with you saying Thomas is the best RB in the country and that you think he could play RB in the SEC. Wouldnt happen. And if he did, he wouldnt put up the #s that he is in the Pac 12. LaMicheal James is mroe of a RB than he is. And LSU demolished him, so did Auburn,

You have a better argument taking Yeldon over Gurley. Even though most Alabama fans would even say that Gurley is better.

Done. Game time.
