Let's see how good the gumps running backs are when their not running behind a NFL line that they paid millions to! Why u think their players don't leave early, they make more at Bamma than they would in the NFL especially with the new rookie pay scale!! PayRollTide!!!!! LSU got this! Can't wait to run to another NC!!
Good lord, where are all these overenthusiastic dumbfricks coming from lately? They're covering every major fanbase. LSU ones. Auburn ones. Tennessee ones. Bama ones. Mizzou ones. Arkansas ones. Even a UGA one or two. Did high-school drop-out season just start or something?

Now that a less arbitrary and more valid methodology has been implemented and shows Hill's stats better than Yeldon's, will you concede your digression was rather, how shall we say, premature?

Pretty obvious that Hill was much better. I don't even have to mention fumbling problems. Alabama has the better RBs this season, but last season, it wasn't close.

ETA: For the record, I don't disagree with you bmy. 2013 Hill > 2013 Yeldon, but 2012 Yeldon > 2012 Hill. So a push overall. But I'm laughing at your "wasn't close" notion when it was obvious LSU's OL did a much better job than Bama's, and on top of that LSU's passing game averaged more yards per attempt than Bama's.

No mention of Tenpenny? Or is he for scout team purposes only?

Hill was absolutely better, "wasnt close" etc... is an overstatement

Fournette > Henry, yeldon

Thumper. Not really much else besides that. Doesn't seem to have vision/instincts the really good backs have.

Based on? You've seen him run a lot in college. Cool.
Why stop there, really? Fournette > Barry Sanders.

So out of 115+ teams in america, the average that yeldon faced was 3 places higher in the rankings than hill. Well that settles it then.

Didn't we already establish UGA backs have injuries? Just saw on AJC.com that Gurley injured himself yesterday evening while working out.

No, the rant parrots continue to believe that false notion. Neither of our backs are "injury prone".

First I've heard, and I assure you if it was anything serious it would be all over the internet.

How can Georgia rb's not even be in the top 10? As far as I'm concerned they're just as good as bamas. I know bama has 3 guys, but I think gurley>Yeldon and Marshall = Henry. And Michel coming in too
