'14 GA RB Nick Chubb (Georgia Verbal)

[Cackalacky]

On paper and not accounting for production, Alabama definitely has the best RB corps without a doubt.

Over half of Auburn's yards last year were accounted for by Tre Mason and Nick Marshall (2884/4596). Artis Payne and Grant added another 1257 yards. 72% of all plays run by Auburn were rushes.

Alabama rushed the ball 56% of their plays. Drake, Henry, and Yeldon accounted for 2311/2673 yards. Since Yeldon, Henry, Drake are returning this established core of backs will most definitely be considered to be solid heading into the fall. I have also heard Henry is more likely to get many more touches this year. This is a big deal IMO because these guys are all experienced and there will most likely not be a drop-off in production.

As far as Auburn goes, I am no sure how many carries get taken away from the QB and I have not heard much about who will replace Mason. But since Auburn used like 15 people to rush the ball last year I think it is safe to say their rushing attack should still be good but it is unclear who will replace that production.

Regarding UGA, their rushing game suffered from injuries last year. Still Gurley got almost 1000 yards. JJ. Green and Brendan Douglas were 2nd and 3rd behind Gurley, then Marshall and Murray. Pretty deep roster for UGA. Michel and Chubb will have their work cut out for them to see the field. Pair this with an inexperienced QB coming in and UGA could struggle to move the ball and may have to ride their RBs. We will see.

So are you saying Bama>Auburn>Geo, or what?

I am saying there are usually multiple sides to every discussion. Alabama also had Dee Hart as a RB and now he gone. Auburn has to replace 1/3 of its rushing production. UGA suffered through injuries. Its not about stars and rankings but actual production on the field. What good is a 5-star if he never sees the field?

I was just egging you on.


Now for the next topic : how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

What's even scarier is that Georgia doesn't even have the best RB corp in the SEC in my opinion. That belongs to Auburn (Corey Grant, Peyton Barber, Cameron Artis-Payne, Roc Thomas...sweet buttery Jesus).

Let's see. Corey Grant couldn't even get on the field at Bama. He was second string... on the scout team no less. Peyton Barber has ran the ball all of one play... in spring practice. CAP looks good but he would be behind Yeldon, Henry, AND Drake at Bama. Roc... we let Auburn have him in favor of Bo.

As I see it, the Barners RB corp is third at best behind Bama and Georgia. One could even argue that KY and the Aggies have as good a corp as the Tigers. But hey... I am looking through Crimson colored glasses.

I would agree talent wise that Bama and Georgia have better talent in their rb corps, but Auburn uses their runningbacks in ways that make them more productive. I can almost guarantee that Auburn if they are a decent team will lead the SEC in rushing

I'd take that bet. Bama is replacing their QB and Georgia shouldn't struggle with injuries like last year and both have monster backfields. How much would you like to wager?

 

[ryno 24]

Yes but Auburn basically runs the triple option and throws the ball less than either of those teams. I am not saying either of those teams will not have better records, but that offense screams 3,000 yards of rushing in a season.

^ starting fullback he knocked over

 

[Bogtrotter07]

Tee, hee, hee!

 

[irishfan]

Gurley, Marshall, Chubb, Michel. Not fair.

 

[Riddickulous]

Jesus.

 

[IrishLion]

Gurley, Marshall, Chubb, Michel. Not fair.

Don't forget the APB they signed... can't remember his name. Anyone got anything?

sony michael?

 

[ryno 24]

Michel was actually more highly rated than chub?

reminds me of a todd Gurley Keith Marshall situation

Isaiah McKenzie?

Isaiah McKenzie?

I was trying to be facetious. But yes that's the one haha.

i thought for sure you were trolling and forgot the italics

 

[dwshade]

Gurley, Marshall, Chubb, Michel. Not fair.

Bad news is there's only one football. Unless Gurley and/or Marshall get hurt the other two will only see garbage time as FR.

 

[GBdomer]

Pretty sure the kid is from Krypton

Given Gurley's and Marshall's past with inujries, it may be sooner than later. Hope not because them two are beasts with the ball. Still a little cautious with Murray gone and them breaking in a new QB. He is a good one but is unproven. Until he shows he can beat you with the pass, it may be a little more tougher sledding for Gurley and Marshall.
