If one guy starts the game. But another ends the game with more touches....then who's number one??

I got this.











































Marquez Calloway. :hi:

I'm lost in what you are trying to get at. That's still a so called battle/competition whatever you want to call it

Fine.

My point was, that all of the backs will be used. In a variety of ways.

Pruitt last week talked about how you need at least 6 quality backs.

Look how Helton used his backs at USC.
Last year Bama had Damien Najee Harris, Bo Scarborough, , J Jones all get significant carries.

All those dudes could have "started". Whatever that even means at that position.

They will compete for carries....yes. But a bell-cow "starter" just isn't done very much anymore.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

He said you need 4-6, not at least 6.

Battle?

Nah...
All 4 will be used. It's possible to see 2 or even 3 lined up in formation together.
Pro-Set: with Banks London, Jordan slot
Staggered: London (Hback) Jordan and Chandler slot.

All 4 backs can run and catch.

Just makes me sick reminiscing about what could have been if Dobbs, Hurd and Kamara were on the field at the same time....

They were sometimes.

And it was very effective.

I think Kamara was utilized correctly...just not enough in those capacities.

RBs are some of your best athletes now a days. They can catch and block and...run. Kamara was good enough to start at slot.

Jordan and Chandler have similar receiving ability.

#33, will always remind me of my 1st favorite UT back, the first 1000 yard rusher, Johnnie Jones

He rarely if ever gets mentioned when discussing great UT running back.....which is ashamed because he’s one of the very best to ever play the position here.

Love me some Ty Chandler. Big fan. Wonder if theyve added some poundage to him.

Heard earlier this week that he’s in the 205-208 range. Think it was either Hubbs or Price who said it.

That’s GREAT. Can’t wait to see him this year.

I just hope the coaching staff can see through the "ehhh, this isn't our style of back we normally use" thing and gets him on the field... Chandler's electric and can make things happen

From statements when Pruitt first started he made it seem like he would play to the strengths of what he has. I hope he actually does it.

You just can’t leave Chandler off the field if you know anything about football

Chandler will get his share of touches

a few weeks back I saw a tweet where I believe Banks was saying how our O line was gonna be a beast. Anyone else see that? I hope he's accurate.

He’s not used to practicing behind such behemoths. Took one look at Trey Smith on a recruiting trip and said “uhh where do I sign?”
