Gurley is banged up, but has anyone dethroned him?

Yeldon (mostly his OL) started slow, but he's come on strong. On pace to have more TDs than he did last year and his YPC is up.

Hill is on pace for around 1400 yards, and 17 TDs. Nearly 7 YPC.

Mike Davis is having a good year, but his YPC indicates that he is the Antichrist therefore I will not endorse him.

Alex Collins is good, but tough to put him with the others, statistically, as of right now.

Tre Mason is a BAMF.


Personally.

Gurley
Hill/Yeldon
Mason
Collins

*Not endorsing the spawn of Satan, Mike Davis.

Drake is the best RB in the nation (healthy Gurley would be #1 though).

vs SEC opponents

359 yards (89.75 ypg)
8.76 ypc
6 TDs

People look at him as a speed back but he's shown he's more than capable of running between the tackles. And he has no equal at running back save for maybe Melvin Gordon when it comes to a combo of speed, acceleration, and lateral quickness along with the ability to run between the tackles.

The only reason he isn't starting over Yeldon is that he can be an idiot on and off the field (see him running the wrong way vs Co St).

1. Drake
2. Yeldon
3. Derrick Henry
4. Jalston Fowler
5. (tie) Gurley/Tenpenny

Dee Hart should probably be on there, but I didn't want to look like a homer.

This might be a TOUCH out there for now, but the dude really is going to be a beast. His acceleration is unbelievable.

Gurley is probably the best back in the SEC right now. That guy at Arkansas is for real too.
