Yeah, that'll do it. Hill has a slight edge (though not the huge edge a couple people claimed here.) Also, I'm going to assume nobody in the league had as bad a case of fumble-itis at critical moments as Yeldon did. He needs to take Sticky Fingers instruction from Jameis.

Gurley clearly the best rb in the SEC with Marshall in the top 6 or 7. not sure how Bamas are better, i guess its just because they run 3 yards before getting touched and the O-line just makes it easy for them

Frankly, I have to agree with them. Gurley is the best, definitely, and Marshall is up there (kinda...he's underwhelmed a bit, but y'all were lucky that Gurley became what Marshall was supposed to be.) But if we're measuring overall depth, which I think the article was doing, Yeldon, Drake, Henry, and Tenpenny give Bama a very strong RB corp that Georgia would be hardpressed to dislodge from the top of the unit rankings, at least until we see what your two top-notch freshmen can do in college play.
