So let’s include blocks, being a team leader, etc.. It’s not a best athlete, it’s best running back. RUNNING back.


Exactly. Runs, catches, blocks, leadership. They take everything a rb does into account, as they should.

Most of us are just indifferent about Tennessee. They get a lucky win every now and then, but they’re irrelevant. They’re not good enough to hate.

He's a good runner, surprised he was left off the list

That's right. It's for all the things that running backs do. Glad you're with us now.

If the Vols has just left Sampson in the second half of games he would have had Henry’s single season TD number a couple of weeks ago.


He had plenty of 2nd half carries. Which games should he have had more in?

Oh give me a break gump. You won the coaching lotto with Saban now you can sit down and enjoy your new daddy Heupel.

We are sending you straight back to the phat Phil days and you know it.

Tennessee will own this rivalry for the next decade at least.

Deborer ain't beating the Vols anytime soon. Pur recruiting under Heupel is only getting better and better.

Imagine when he gets Kirby and Bama level recruiting classes..They are coming.

Speaking if that, has there ever been a coach waste more talent than Deboer?

He's so bad that he makes BK look good.

But is not a primary role. Would you agree that when discussing a strictly running back award it would make sense to focus on their primary role? If it’s total yards why not look at Jaxson Dart, he has well over a thousand yards more than any RB in total yards and 27 TDs. Why not give him the Doak Walker award? He’s had 99 rushes this season.


It looks at the best player playing primarily RB.

When Darren McFadden won the award, it took his passes into account as well out of the wildcat position.

It also takes into account return yards for RB's who fill that role as well.

Yes, if Sampson motions out and ends up lining up in the slot rather than the backfield and makes a catch, those stats count for him as well even though he technically lined up at WR on that play. If it takes the ball on a reverse from that position it counts as well.

This is like Brock Bowers winning the Mackey award despite not actually lining up next to the OL on every play. He lined up in the backfield, the slot and alone out wide in addition to in the traditional "Tight End" position. But that was his primary role, so he was in the Mackey award running instead of for the Billetnikoff or Doak Walker award. His rushing yards and receiving yards out of the slot and out wide still counted.

It is absolutely ridiculous that he was excluded.

Sampson is the 2nd best RB I have seen this season. He is terrific and belongs on this list.

He is one of the best backs in the nation. It's stupid that he wasn't at least included. Anyone arguing that he should not have been needs a lobotomy.

I never expected him to win, just odd he wasn’t a finalist. Next years Vols rushing game is likely to be split between Lewis and Bishop with a 3rd guy being brought along. It would have been nice to see him rewarded for an amazing season.

Lol put down the Bud Light. After your defensive line goes pro this offseason, your dress-wearing QB won’t be good enough to keep you in games. Deboer ran BK out of his own house with Milroe, a one-dimensional QB that everyone has two seasons of film on.

Cry, you imbecile. You run around attacking, then whine when you get it in return.

No wonder everyone in the forum absolutey hates your arse.
