Love Diggs' vision and patience for the holes to open up. Definitely stands out among our RBs in my opinion.

Diggs and Jackson both score on that long run he had vs Arky. I am not a Williams hater and love him in the rotation but having him as the number 1 back limited the offense.

tenacious, with the post of the week!

Youve stumped me. Seems like Sam is THE GUY at his position moving forward, but only time will tell. We should re-look at this after the Mizzou game.

At this point in the seas on I’d have to say Weeks.

Biggest disappointment has to be Major Burns.

Zy Alexander & Denver Harris

I mean, our secondary is the weakness of our defense, but imagine what it would be without them.

FYI Kaleb Jackson posted faster sprint times in high school than Aaron Anderson.

He will break one soon.

How would they have scored? The guy had an easy angle.

Out run him or Stutter and make him miss or cut back or In Jackson's case, Just bull doze through his tackle. You know, things that more talented backs do.

It was Williams vs a safety with like half the field to play with and he just ran a straight line and went right out of bounds.

Again, I am not hating on Williams and I love what he brings to the team but you are lying to yourself if you don't admit that Diggs and Jackson are better runners.

Right. Josh Williams is a great college back. As the season progresses he will get more carries.

He had been out for a very long time. Imo you will need both williams and Diggs to get to an sec championship game.

Josh Williams saved the rbs last year.

I think I would go
Weeks
Diggs
Jackson
Jefferson
Sam

Weeks looks like what I thought Perkins would look like playing ILB.

I had really low expectations for Diggs but he does everything r really well. Seems to always find a few yards even then tbe blocking isn’t there. has been great in pass protection and catching the ball.

Jackson just looks like the next LSU All American RB. Once he gets Passblocking down he’ll be a force

There are times Jefferson looks unstoppable. he moves so fast for 317. I want to see waaaay more of him.

Sam looks kinda like i expected him to.

100% true. The kid is an absolute warrior and no one can deny that.

I don't think this is true unless there is an injury to Diggs or Jackson. I think as the season progresses Kaleb Jackson will get more carries and Williams will stay in his role as the 3rd guy that gets a few touches and otherwise does all the little things right.

I think Williams is solidly at #2 overall

Jackson has more potential and runs hard AF.

I think Williams is like Diggs. does everything well, but idk if he does anything better than Diggs.
