They're both phenomenal. Play calling and O Line will be the difference maker between them

Everyone not a Bama fan who follows recruiting said that Emery was the best back in that class.


Yeah, it was very weird. Legitimately every other UGA fan I’ve talked to about this thought Emery was the better prospect.

Obviously, the people who rated them disagree but I think y’all definitely got the better prospect.

That's what I kept asking them. They claimed they did. I remained suspicious. I'm sure you can guess who at least one of them was.

Who has the better line?

That would be Sanders.

If they both make the NFL, Emery will likely be the better back.

In that case the edge definitely goes to Emery.

We got the best back but Bama will physically develop Sanders more than LSU will develop Emery.

They will also over use Sanders and Emery will have the better NFL Career

I still laugh at the 3 posters who kept repeating that Emery didn't have top end speed. You know who you are.

Did they not watch his film



Apparently not. He eats up ground like a little known back from Sealy Texas. a long strider.

Yeah and there is nothing deceptive about his speed.

He looks fast too.

Emery is good.

I like sanders a lot but I think Emery’s speed sets him apart. End of the day you can’t be slow at that position.

Not really a weird thought, guide and LF7 have been better than any of Bama backs for example

Yeah it’s the “develop physically” part that was weird.

Good thing O has loaded up these recent recruiting classes with talent in the trenches.

I agree, it is weird. Dont know how they do it year in, year out. But 1.5 years under bamas weight training and diet program seems to have those guys crazy strong

I mean I see It at other position, but our RBs haven’t exactly been weak lately.

And I don’t remember any of their going through and drastic body changes.

I don’t know, but Emery will probably rush for 15 yards on 12 carries versus Bama, BECAUSE OUR LINE SUCKS.

Our offensive line problems have mostly been pass blocking on the outside. Our run blocking has been decent enough. Our pass blocking schemes left a lot to be desired. The majority of the time leaving a running back or tight end trying to block an elite edge rusher. It cost us the Florida game. I was glad to see Sullivan go and the blocking schemes too. They won't be missed.
