Predictions for the top 5 Rushers in the SEC in 2014

You forgot Nick Marshall bro


Also, Gurshall will be injured, again.


1. Mike Davis - 1500 Yards
2. Alex Collins - 1400 yards
3. Cameron Artist Payne 1250 Yards
4. Tj. Yeldon 1200 Yards
5. Nick Marshall 1100 Yards


Honorable Mention-

Corey Grant will lead SEC in YPC

Fournette would make list if he was premiere back

Derrick Henry and TJ Yeldon are interchangeable depending who gets nod

quote:

---

He said top 5 rushers.

---

Nick Marshall had nearly 1100 yards on 6 YPC and 12 TDs


He didn't say RBs but rushers as you pointed out

quote:

---

Yea, Auburn uses a second RB instead of a QB

---

Why not? Seems to work.

Leonard fournette will be better than all of those backs.

quote:

---

Derrick Henry and TJ Yeldon are interchangeable depending who gets nod

---

Henry might break 1,000 yards, depending on Drake's snaps. I'd expect him to have 7-10 TDs.

Todd Gurley 230 carries 1449 yards
Cameron Artis-Payne 240 carries 1440 yards

You do realize that Gurley rushed for 989 yards last year while missing 5 games and only rushing more that 20 twice.....
He only had 160 carries last year.

His injury was a fluke. It's not that he is injury prone or it's not like he tore something.

Gurley won't get injured this year and with Mason at QB, we won't throw for 3500 yards. I think the OP had it right.....1700 for Gurley

Incorrect.

quote:

---

and only rushing more that 20 twice.....

---

Also incorrect.

quote:

---

He only had 160 carries last year.

---

Third strike.

Also, his 16.5 carries/game was good for 6th in the conference.

quote:

---

3

He missed the entirety of the UT, Miz, and vandy games. He missed half of the clemson, florida, and app st games. So no he didn't miss 5 full games, but he was out more than 3.

Technically. I mean if someone got the first carry of the game for all 12 games and didn't see the field again the rest of the game, every game, yeah they played in every game but c'mon.

When you consider that TG missed 3 halves of football, in addition to the full games missed, he missed over 4 games worth of football.
