re: Best backfield in the SEC (country) going into 2013??

Murray is 0-3 against the Gamecocks, will be 0-4 after this coming season ... so pardon some of us for not bowing to Murray's yearly greatness. And while I do believe Gurley and Marshall are very good - they were held to what, 50 yds combined against SC this past year? So color me not impressed.


I'll rate SC's returning backfield over Georgia's and will, once again, be proven right in the head-to-head face-off this coming September.

Bama with McCarron and whoever Saban decides to plug in back there - yeah, doesn't matter, Bama will have studs running the football so they have to be in the top 3.

A&M ... I'm already suffering from JFF fatigue but he's good. Not sure if he will survive the dreaded Sophomore Slump in the SEC or not, because every DC in the league is going to be gunning for him - but until someone else shuts him down he deserves the respect and he has a decent back behind him.

Here's the thing though.

There will be no slouch backfields in the SEC this year. All of them are talented, all of them can hurt you on any given Saturday and all of them will bring it until you shut them down and demoralize them.

My point is DLIne > O-backfield.

Backfields are just not that important. What is important is that OLine and how it matches-up against the SEC Dlines.

So will Bama have another great OLine this coming season? Will A&M? I'm not going to ask about UGA because I already know the answer to that question. And I know that SC is going to have probably their best OLine since the late 70s early 80s heyday years that produced the NFLers under Jim Carlen ... the lines George Rogers ran behind.
