Sad how Auburn burns out 1 RB a year solely for their own selfish gains instead of spreading the carries to preserve their careers.

Sad.

During his child support case. The judge asked him "how he graduated from Auburn without being able to read?" Brooks simply replied "I didn't have to go to class." under oath too. Amazing running back with a good nfl career too, but there is a good reason the Aubies tend leave him off their list.

Alabama has more current running backs in the NFL, and more Pro Bowl appearances out of those running backs.

Just to list then Bama RB’s and their PB appearances...

Mark Ingram-1 Pro Bowl
Eddie Lacy-1 Pro Bowl
Kenyan Drake
Derrick Henry
TJ Yeldon
Jalston Fowler

I may have left someone out

Auburn has averaged over 3000 rushing yards a year in those 9 years. Last year was close to 2 1000 yards backs. Johnson was 105 short.

Auburn bragging about RBs putting up yards is like Texas Tech fans bragging about WR yardage.

I dunno I heard that coaches who make their RB run the ball 25 times a game are basically taking a baseball bat to their kneecaps and destroying their futures.

Bama is RBU. Look at all the Bama backs in the NFL. Henry, Ingram, Kamara, Yeldon and Lacy. Does the Barn even have one? Georgia, Florida, LSU and Arkansas all have more than you.

The only back to average around 25 a game is Johnson this year at 24.75. Which I think all Auburn fans would like to see some more backs get the ball. Most of the 1000 yard backs have average around 19-22 carries a game.

Derrick Henry averaged over 26 carries a game in 2015.

True, can't argue that point


But....

we are in mid November with Auburn still playing for a chance at the SEC title, and potentially a spot in the playoffs

Too bad you can't say the same

Auburn only has 3 RBs in the NFL and those guys have a combined 2017 statline of 30 carries for 185 yards. Those three guys are Artis-Payne, Grant, and Barber.

Yeah, RBU.
