Posted this in another thread already, but it applies here as well. Next year will be Cam's year along with Sampson, but this year there are only so many carries to go around. From CBS Sports.com:
Tennessee has the nation's best running back room
This isn't as impactful as other entries in this column, but it really deserves mentioning. There are other teams that have better individual running backs but no team boasts a better stable than Tennessee.
The Vols flaunted their backfield riches in Saturday's road win against Kentucky, blitzing the SEC's second-best rush defense for 253 yards on the ground. For context, Kentucky hadn't allowed more than 200 yards rushing all season even against the likes of Georgia and Missouri.
For Tennessee, that was its sixth game with at least 200 yards rushing. The Vols have reached that mark in three out of four SEC games. They haven't had less than 100 yards all year. Tennessee has a talented trio -- Jaylen Wright, Jabari Small and Dylan Sampson -- that would probably each start for a lot of teams around the country.
