Sproles is 5'6" and 190# and 2Bs is comparing a 5'11" 206# RB to him? No wonder Arkansas won so many games in the SEC last year.

Yeah I don't think Sproles is the best comparison. Sproles is one of the greatest pure RB's/playmakers of all times (college and pro) and I have never quite seen another player like him. I was young when Barry Sanders was playing, but that would be the only guy I would compare to Sproles.

Collins doesnt have near the speed of sproles. His acceleration and cuts are lightning quick though

I don't think you get what he was saying. Collins has one of the best jump cuts I've ever seen for an 18 year old. It's ridiculous how quick he can change direction. Similar to how Sproles ran at K-State. Hence the comment that they were both light on their feet.

Collins does have great vision and cutting ability, much like Joe Adams had. If only Collins had Adams' top end speed...

Fatal career move? That's mean, Bert is actually a good guy IMHO. He may succeed or he may fail, but he deserves better than that going into the second season.

Who knows, maybe Bert was tired of Alvarez or had a conflict. You never know...

The incoming freshman running back at LSU will probably be better than any tandem in the league by himself.

He has the running ability of Adrian Peterson and the aura of Michael Jordan. You just wait pal.
I want to believe you are joking, but I have seen your posting history and really am not sure.

Going back to what magazine this was from... I actually picked this magazine up in a Nashville Walgreens. So I highly doubt there was any Arkansas bias by the writer.

Judging from the layout in the pic, it looks like a Hooten's magazine and they are extremely biased. Depends if you're talking Nashville TN or AR though.

Aggies have a very underrated 3 headed monster at RB.

Why do you have to do this? Don't people start enough threads trolling Arkansas to keep you from feeling the need to invite trolling right into your home? I mean, even if UGA and Bama didn't have excellent arguments for better returning RB tandem, you'd still get trolled for bragging. Since they do, you're just gonna get trolled even more.

sure Wilco's a pretty good band but have they really progressed since Yankee Hotel Foxtrot?

T.J. Yeldon, Derrick Henry, Todd Gurley, Keith Marshall are all cackling and rolling a blunt.
