We expect him to be great and be the bellcow statistically of our offense.
With that said, he'll be as good as our o line is which is true with any back.

I expect him NOT to fumble.
Fall forward 4 yds at the end of a carry.
Punish DB's
Out run LB'ers in coverage.
Pick up a blitz.
Not necessarily in that order.

FWIW I heard he lost a bit of weight so that he can be better prepared to handle being a starter and such, but still that would just mean he would probably be more chiseled and somewhat faster.

If those 2 things aren't done, he won't see the field.

Is it a given that Bo Scar will start? I expect him to be more physical than Derrick Henry, and not be as much of a game-breaker with speed. As big as Derrick Henry was, he seemed to play like a speedster and not a bruiser, and that's not a knock on his game.

I think if he stays healthy he'll be a pretty good running back. I am concerned about his health.

I have no idea what to expect about Damien Harris. He was really disappointing last year, but he was a true freshman. Hoping he takes a step.

Ridiculous athlete, like Julio Jones and Derrick Henry. Would have been successful as a LB, DE, TE, or WR but he's playing RB. He will probably out muscle most defenders, but I think Harris is our best "pure" running back, like Cooper was a better pure WR than Julio.

Didn't Saban suspend Bo for 4 games because he was recruited and almost signed by Ole Miss?

Scar is quicker than Henry and runs N-S like Lacey. He may be faster than Henry. What could hold him back is the overall RB package, so much more than just running.

Lacey showed you make cuts off your own linemen rather than react to defense. In the blocking decoying catching positioning he is new at game pace. Physically could be best ever at Alabama. We Will see.

The question was never about his physical abilities, which are elite. It's if he can go to class, pick up a blitz and everything else that is expected of him.

Yes he was suspended for four games for taking money from Ole Miss on a recruiting visit. NCAA made Alabama aware of the infraction hence the Tunsil like suspension.

If Bo has in fact slimmed down a bit, then I can see him being faster.
