SEC Position Ranking: RB's

[madbamahater]

Article is wrong from the start. Georgia has the best backfield. We can all be "sports writers"

 

[AV_12]

He's got to stay healthy. Tons of potential but has to be on the field

This. We are way too low, but Lane hasn't really proven anything nationally

With Lane, Hurd, Scott and Pickett, I think we are about as good as anyone not named bamer or Georgia. Also Tennessee rush will benefit from a more balanced pass/rush attack. We have better run blockers on the interior and good blocking TEs. RT looks very sound for a Greenhorn.

Even GA has question marks as Gurley wasn't the same after mid-season and Marshall had the ACL. But they did get two great recruits though.

FL has two good ones but at least one is coming off serious injury.

We should be better than UK, Vandy, MSU. Ole Miss and Mizzou. I think we are on par with Ark, FL and USCe.

What does USCe have after Davis? There is a reason they fought us so hard for Scott.

Ark had two rushers that combined for almost 2,000 yards. Nice until you look at yards per carry and the fact that they were an 75/25 rush/pass team.

Edwardo needs to go back to the library and get his facts straight. He didn't even mention Scott who will be as good as Hurd IMO.

No mention of Devrin Young, either. It almost looks like he only mentioned Hurd because he ran out reasons why he thinks Lane is not very good and the size of the paragraph was still less than the others. If Aschoff wasn't going to give this assignment its due diligence, he should've handed it off to Chris Low.

All I do know is the WR position better be in Top 3 ....

The list is a combination ranking of TE/WR, but we're #8.

True, unfortunately Aschoff failed to mention any of that and instead gave off the impression he got to the end of his post and said "aw sh*t, i forgot Tennessee. Lemme google Rivals or something..."

Guy is useless.

I think you're onto something here. Look at how many of Kentucky's RB's that he mentions (5!). He only mentions three of our RB's, and one of them is gone (Neal).

This will change with new offensive line..We will run the ball better!!

We ran the ball well last year.

That's my issue with their SEC blog. For guys that are paid to write about the SEC, they do an absolutely pathetic amount of research. I realize some of the guys are part of team-specific blogs, but Low and Aschoff should be better. Much better.

The Top 4 teams are right and you could argue their placings against one another.

The other 10 teams are fairly pedestrian, bad, or unproven.

Going to be a really awful year for SEC offenses.

Aub, UGA, Bama, SC and aTm will still average over 32 PPG in 2014. LSU might.

Every other team in the SEC will likely have a slightly above average to bad offense (21-28 PPG)

UGA does not have any questions at RB...they are loaded
USC has two very talented RB's behind Davis
UM and MSU have strong ground games/personnel

There are legit reasons UT's OL and RB units are ranked so low in the SEC right now, almost every team is stout.

I'm looking forward to seeing what Trevon Paulk can do.
