Lattimore > Davis

The Best SEC Players of 2010
1. QB Cam Newton, Jr. Auburn
2. DT Nick Fairley, Jr. Auburn
3. RB Marcus Lattimore, Fr. So. Carolina
4. QB Ryan Mallett, Jr. Arkansas
5. LB Danny Trevathan, Jr. Kentucky
6. CB/KR Patrick Peterson, Jr. LSU
7. WR Alshon Jeffery, Soph. So. Carolina
8. RB Knile Davis, Soph. Arkansas

According to the Coaches, Lattimore > Davis


FIRST-TEAM ALL-SEC -- OFFENSE

RB Marcus Lattimore South Carolina 6-0 218 Fr. Duncan, S.C.
RB Stevan Ridley LSU 6-0 226 Jr. Natchez, Miss.

So Lattimore produced more yards, more touchdowns, and was considered better by the coaches in the SEC.

Interesting opinion from one whose team did not even play South Carolina, but saw Davis run for 150+ (5.1 avg) yds against the Tigers.

Not questioning your opinion, everybody has a right to their own, just find it interesting.

Saw what both did against Bama. The measuring stick at which all SEC backs are compared to.

Knile got like 7 carries and average over 6 yards per touch...we were still waiting for the right guy to step up...see what happened when he started getting the rock

quote:

---

Never once said anything negative about him. I really didn't know much about him until these last 2 years. From what I saw, he is VERY talented.

---

He was a true soph this past season

Davis wasn't even carrying the ball that much when Arkansas played Bama. Broderick "Puddin" Green and Wingo were still getting a lot of PT.

It's funny that this thread is still going. This will be a LONG offseason.

quote:

---

Lattimore had damn near 100 yards rushing on Alabama and had 3 tds. Davis only had 42 yards

---

Yes, 17 more carries tends to get you more yards.

quote:

---

and Lattimore was a true freshman.

---

Irrelevent.

Marcus Lattimore (born October 29, 1991)

Knile Davis (born October 5, 1991) Evidently Knile is a bright kid.

true soph this past season

Mallett was not a soph????? I was commenting on someone who said something about him.
Don't know much about Daivs except what I have read and watching the LSU game. He looked solid. Not in the DMAC class though.
