Prove me wrong by all means young man but I have 4 years of tape saying that’s likely not going to happen

The problem is that tape is very, very short. So while I think everyone would agree he may have the ability, the fact that after 4 years you can still count his great movements/games on one hand (2020 game vs. Vanderbilt, 2020 run vs. Alabama, a few plays vs. Auburn in 2022, the TD vs. Alabama in 2022) makes it unlikely to think he's going to "break out" this season.

Everyone is hoping that he does. There's just no real reason to believe he will.

this is not even remotely true. 190 carries 941 yards with 13 touchdowns for an average of 6.3 yd/carry and 31.4 yds/game for his career.

Last year alone Logan Diggs ran for 822 yards and 4 TDs on 165 carries. His bowl game against South Carolina included a 75 yard receiving touchdown and 39 yard touchdown run. I don't even think Diggs is going to be our best running back but its statements like the one above that just make zero sense.

The obsession with Emery after 4 years of him proving time after time he cannot be counted on is beyond frustrating.
