Team;
1) UGA
2) Au
3) Bama
4) LSU
5) Ark



Player; the SEC is loaded, again, this year with RBs and all of these guys will be great and could emerge as elite (Chubb is already elite, it's really a matter of who's 2 or can someone catch him?)

1) N. Chubb only an injury can derail him, will get an invite to NYC for the Heisman.
2) D. Henry will finally be the feature back and will show why he was able to break almost every rushing record in HS and rushed for 10k+. Improved Bama online and a new Qb = a heavy run game for Bama.
3) A. Collins now that JW is out look for Collins to get worked hard. 20-25+ carries a game.
4) Au's Robinson or Roc whoever emerges as the work horse. If the carries are split more then move out of top 5/6.
5) R Hansbrough is very underrated and will explode this year he was 6th last year and had to split carries with current NFL rb M. Murphy.
6) Fournette - he could move higher on the list, has the Potential but will depend on how the other aspects of LSU's offense perform. If the passing games sucks again then he will struggle with defenses stacking the box. Hopefully, for LSU fans, that in his 2nd year he will have overcame the poor HS coaching and his vision has improved. He has the Potential to be top 3.
7) Hurd, Taylor @UF, Carson @TAMU all have the ability to move up to the top 5.

plus he has most of the same talented Oline back, and will be given the ball a few more times per game this season. Of course people will also claim "easy schedule".. ok whatevs..

LSU is a committee back system and Guice is turning lots of heads. So, I do not expect Fournette to lead the conference in rushing. LSU could easily top 3000 yards overall, though.

Chubb or Fournette, they'll both be asked to carry the offense, so they'll get a ton of carries.

He'll be splitting carries with Walker and Williams III. We would have used 3 backs last year but Marshall couldn't stay out of trouble. Carries will probably be:

40% Collins
40% Walker
20% Williams III

Chubb only because he'll get 30 plus carries a game and fournette will only get about 20 carries a game

Chubb isn't getting 30 carries a game unless Sony and Marshall get hurt again.

I doubt Florida will run a lot with their lack of o-line depth

Chubbytron will lead the conference and Michel if he stays healthy will be top 10.

Hurd and Kamara will be splitting carries. They will also be on the field at the same time some plays. Hurd is faster this year (he worked on his speed in the offseason and has taken a speed jump similar to what we saw from Josh Dobbs who was fast his freshman year but got faster and really started showing his ability to run his sophomore year).

It's going to be fun to see what we get from them as a duo. They complement one another's playing styles very well.

No way LF gets 20 carries a game, I wish.. If he does he will lead the league in rushing.

LSU will


They can't pass and their defense won't be able to stop anyone, so their only hope is to run the ball continuously and hope the other team has unforced turnovers
