re: Dont we have better than the #3 RB tandem????

Probably has more to do with the dearth of quality RBs in the league this year. It's a graveyard after the top 3-4.

I gst what you are saying, but still this is the best the SEC has been at RB in a while.

Did you forget Vandy's RB who is about to break the Vandy rushing record with zero pass offense? Florida has 3 nice looking backs, but are unproven, same with Bama.

It's not that their aren't enough quality RBs, it's just that most are on the top teams. Usually nobody talks about the backup RB. This is the first year that it's been in discussion so heavily because of how supremely talented it is.

Guys like Guice, Kamara, and Michel would start at most other schools, but are stuck behind already great backs. Chubb needs a little over 1200 yards to be UGA's #2 career rusher, Hurd needs less than 900 to be Tennessee's #1 career rusher, and Fournette needs a little over 1560 yards to be LSU's #1 career rusher.

Guice averaged 8.6 ypc last year and was impressive down the stretch as a KR, averaging 28.3 yards per over the last 4 games.

Kamara had almost 1000 yards from scrimmage with 11 total TDs (including a PR TD).

Michel had over 1100 rush yards, 270 receiving yards, and 11 TDs from scrimmage in Chubb's absence. And his passing game was as bad as ours during that whole span.

And don't forget the 3 headed attack at Kentucky. All Boom needs is the touches, but he's easily a 1000+ yard rusher next year.
