Not being a homer here ... could care less about SDS rankings and all of those backs listed are solid backs, a few of them well above average to excellent. But I promise this, SC has a trio of three backs, all three different styles, all three seriously solid backs in Rico Dowdle, Ty'son Williams and A.J. Turner.

My point is this fwiw which is about as much as a piece of bubble gum costs these days.

They are all three physical, all three good blockers, all three have one thing, one strength, that they excel-at while still being solid in other areas that SEC level backs need to be competent-in.

I can never remember in all my years having three solid backs like this at the same time. I know UGA and Bama often go five or six deep at RB, and LSU always seems to have three. Tennessee used to always have three, rarely fewer than two. We've had some great ones over the years but never this deep and solid ... and I like it a lot.

Anyways, congrats to all the programs who have backs who made the SDS' list.

SC's are young, but three to watch if you get a chance.

Rico is a bulldozer. He'll wear down a defense.

Ty'son is a big speedy prototypical SEC back with great lateral moves, great vision and good instincts and breakway speed.

A.J. is all heart, physical for his size and fearless. Really quick and when he catches the ball outta the backfield he has a great first step and he can motor.

I hope they get a chance to really show their stuff this weekend. I suspect they might.
