No way. Anyone who would take Davis over Lattimore is white trash.


know where I can find a decent trailer? I really don't think Lattimore is that much better than Davis. Davis was a beast 2 years ago before he got hurt.

And you are basing this off of what? Lattimore will be drafted well before Davis in the NFL barring a serious injury Jr.

Alabama is way down the list in Wr's. They bought in some supper stud freshmen. Aj will have all day to throw.

In a way he will. In the fact that he'll be on an NFL roster next year.

even your clever oxymorons cannot save you. It is clearly evident you know nothing about anything if you think Knile Davis is a better college football running back than Marcus Lattimore.

Impossible. If that is true, we just bludgeon team to death with our running game like last year.

i can't believe wisconsin has the #1 RB and fricking arkansas is #2


Wisconsin has two 1,000 yard rushers (one who did it as a freshman) in their top 2 and a Heisman finalist as there number one. Arkansas is surprising, however. What surprised you about Wisconsin though?

Ark has one really good RB but he hasn't played in two years due to major injury, which everyone is just assuming he made a full recovery from. #2 ranking is absurd. Many RBs are never the same after injury.

I can tell who is going to be listed as #1 defense by the picture at the top of the page when you click on defenses.

Me too on the WR.

Otherwise, looks about right.

This has never crossed my mind till you said it. Just because we had 2 below average Qb's for 4 years why would Mett be anything like them?

Hope not. Don't want him choking against Bama in the biggest game of the year.

If Mett can bring his ability to the game setting we are gonna maul everyone. Let's hope he can do it.

That is way overstating it. The evidence suggests that when healthy KD gets the nod over ML. In their last year when both were healthy Davis finished with more yards on significantly less attempts resulting in a YPC difference of 6.3 to 4.7. You have to control obviously for that being Lats freshman year and the relative strengths of the offenses. All that said, your suggestion is clearly WAY overstated given the evidence at hand.

I think #2 is a very generous ranking for our offense right now. A lot of unproven guys, including Mett, in game situations. But the potential is definitely there

So I guess that includes Lattimore correct?

My take as well. I think our RB's should be #1, but our offense #2? They are aware that we were about 90th in total yards last season? I think we'll certainly improve, but all the way to #2? Tall order.
