Ralph Webb. He doesn't go the wrong way with an embarrassing loss on the line.

Doesn't really matter though, Auburn seems to still top the SEC in rushing. Can't wait till we get "LSU quality" backs.

Sleeper: Ty'Son Williams.

Transfer from UNC, practice reports say he's bigger, faster, and better vision than Dowdle and Dowdle was outstanding this year. You don't know this kid right now, but you will in 2017.

R. Williams will lead the league in rushing-- again.

Arkansas' OL was a basket case for half the year, and there were another handful of games where the defense imploded to the degree where running the ball was abandoned-- and he still put up league leading numbers.

Plenty of guys will put up very respectable numbers, and be flashier-- but RW3 will continue to be the best performer on Saturdays.

He is good but running back is plug and play with Gus. We can all safely assume that Auburn will "statistically" have the best running back most years. Bama doesn't usually feed guys like they did Henry in 2015. So yeah, Pettway is good but he won't be the best in the conference next year.

I mean maybe from a talent perspective, but I'm really interested in seeing how we split carries. We have 3 backs firmly entrenched in next year's rotation. Surely Harris wouldn't redshirt, so I guess it's mop up duty for him with some outings where he sees time with the 1s. He's good, but we'll have really good players back with experience.

I think a healthy Scarborough is going to be something to behold

Won't be the #1 but Demarea Crockett will be a top 5 in the SEC next year. Broke all kinds of Missouri freshman rushing records. Finished 6th overall in ypg in the SEC. Best of any freshman. 3rd in YPC in the SEC and best of any freshman. Had 245 against UT and 145 against UF so it wasn't all in cupcake games.

All of that with a new OC for the offense and a new line and playing behind Ish Witter for the first half of the season until the staff finally had no choice but to play him more. Has his entire line returning.

Benny Snell rushed for 1057 yards and 13 TDs in 10 games and 8 of UK's top 10 OL (and both TEs) are returning.

He will be the primary back and AJ Rose will get the Boom Williams carries (assuming Boom declares early).

It's Benny Snell easy.

Have not and don't care. He can pull all the pud he likes so long as he doesn't run for 250 yards against us next year.

Assuming both stay healthy, I expect Kam Pettway and Derrius Guice to both be very good again.

Guice? I don't think so... a RB needs an offensive line to be "good" and LSU's will be questionable.

I would vote Fornette except he will probably still be recovering from the nastiest sprained ankle in history... but you other fans, don't you dare say he quit on his team and took a Rolex and signed with an agent half way through the season. He is true blue to LSU...and is a fighter and fierce competitor who puts the "team" into "I."

Best three RBs in SEC next year, in no particular order:

Damien Harris
Bo Scarbrough
Joshua Jacobs

I'm serious. Probably none of the above will have the most yardage, will more likely go to Chubb or Guice imo.
