re: Which SEC running back do you think will have a standout season?

he's not going to outrun Marcus Lattimore, who I could see winning a heisman.

I actually think that would be bad news for South Carolina. I don't think they have the kind of defense (and overall team) that can ride one big hoss RB to a National Championship like Bama did in '09 (nor do I think Ingram's '09 numbers will win a Heisman for a non-Bama RB, but that's another story). I think if Lattimore racks up Heisman-like numbers, it will be because the passing game is not productive enough to give the offense great balance. I think South Carolina's best hope if for both Garcia and Lattimore to have really good, but not quite Heisman-level, numbers on an offense that is balanced enough to take advantage of any defense.

That being said, I think the SEC RB with the biggest "breakout" season might be Vick Ballard.
