Why do you think he is overrated? He is my #1 back in this class.. where is he in your list?
Have you seen his highlight film? He's breaking tackles but look at who they are against. He's fast but not a real burner. I like a few backs more than Dyer. But that's just me too. I like different players than a lot of people around here.

There is one highlight film of Lattimore where he goes down after first contact on 95 % of his runs....
Was talking about Dyer not Lattimore. Lattimore plays against pretty good competition. I actually don't have a problem with Lattimore I just think we need a different style of RB in this class.

im pretty sure the QB has very little effect on the performance of brown and oku. and idc how much POTENTIAL nuke has, he hasnt done anything at all when hes gotten his chances. i know they are just freshman, but they are not the type of player im talking about when i say burner
lol, thats funny. dont know what supposed highlight u were watching but they dont call lattimore "the horse" for nothing. i would say the opposite that 95% of the time he doesnt go down on 1st contact.Looking at our depth chart...we have about every style there is... One rb i am high on that doesn't seem to get a lot of credit is Gore...\ p.s. i was talking about high school kids bringing him down on first contact...not really who the other teams are...

cant get the link to work but dont need to. ive seen the kid play almost every game the past 4 years & he is as dynamic as they come. base your opinions on whatever makes u happy. come to a byrnes game & watch the pre game highlights on the jumbotron.

In Byrnes vs. Mauldin game, Byrnes won 69-28. Byrnes emptied the bench about halfway through the third quarter. Mauldin played their first team the entire game and scored 3 of their touchdowns against the Byrnes backups.
Running back Marcus Lattimore finished with 13 rushes for 153 yards, including touchdown runs of 39 and 64 yards. He also caught a short pass that he turned into a 40-yard touchdown after bouncing off a couple of defenders.
I wish we had a chance at getting him.
