re: ESPN ranks Alabama's RBs as the best position group in America

The best running backs are between LSU, BAMA, UGA, and ARKY. Auburn will have the best running team though

Those 4 teams have only 4 and 5 star backs? AU does.

common mistake dont feel bad

No, it actually isn't a common mistake at all...AU has one potentially great back. Most people that know what they're talking about don't rank AU's RB corp very highly. It is composed of other team's scraps, a coach's son (was a pity offer), a nobody, and Roc. This is not the composition of a top RB group.

No I said exactly what I meant. The best running backs are between LSU, BAMA, UGA, and ARKY. Auburn will have the best running team though

Agree on the first part, let's not get ahead of ourselves on the second part. They'll be top 2-3 and are the safe preseason bet to be the best statistical running team, but it isn't set in stone.

They lost two key cogs in that machine and don't have ready replacements. The closest thing they have to Mason's talent on the roster is a true freshman and the new LT just recovered from cancer. He may end up pretty good, but he won't be stepping in for a possible top 5 draft pick without missing a beat. Anyone thinking otherwise needs to remember that it is "puff, puff, pass" and quit bogarting the damn blunt.
