The kid has the tools to be very special.

How has the kid looked that signed with Ole Miss?

Jacobs has indeed been a pleasant surprise. He plays and runs hard, so does Emmons when he's had touches.


Bo has been a huge disappointment so far although I'm not giving up on him yet.

I think he has the best vision and "hole awareness" of any back since Ingram.

You could see Harris getting frustrated last night when they subbed him out.

Imo, Bo runs to high and at times, let's up before contact instead of plowing through would be tacklers. Also I believe Bo lacks mental toughness at times due to his history of injuries. Once he can get over that hump, he should blossom as a RB.

He looks to be an Ingram clone in size and skill set..

Guy is electric. Gotta say man, I hold my breath every time he breaks it outside because of how he holds the ball

I agree. Emmons may be the hardest runner of the group. Guy isn't afraid to take on tacklers. I've said it before, this stable of backs is turning out to be substantially better then any of us could have imagined. I genuinely feel we have 3 guys that could go for 100 yards any game given the reps.

I still like Bo as a HB option

I think we are all biting our tongue concerning Bo Scarbrough. Better not to blast the kid but to say he is struggling is an understatement.

His Senior Season Highlight Tape is probably the best I've seen.It was 11 guys trying to tackle him and a majority of the time they couldn't.

I'm even more impressed with his play for the Tide.Josh is a lot tougher to bring down than he looks.

Bo will be fine. What I like is that there is genuine competition at RB for the first time in a long time. Each guy knows he could be the man depending on how hard he goes. Breeds effort.

It really is exciting to see, and it doesn't seem like anyone is being a diva when not getting the carries. That might be hard to determine, but we haven't heard any such reports or seen anything like that on the sidelines.

Having 4 very capable RBs with different skill sets and seeing them compete like they are(as you said) is indeed awesome.
