I just hope RB #2, whoever he is, will be as solid as D.W. was last year.

He was the man.

He’s just too soft to dominate in the SEC.



Lots of good backs can't dominate in the SEC.

Brosette shouldn't be playing in the SEC.

CEH is going to be a beast. Had he not came behind LF and DG tiger nation would love him. I'm very confident that it won't be much of a drop off with the ball in this kids hands. Speed, vision, stretch, and just a high character kid. I'm excited to see this guy make some a many jackasses eat their words.

Hoping Curry as good as advertised.

Unfortunately, if wefollow past pattwrs, Brossette is this year's Magee, very average yet used a ton.

Lanard is not an every down back imo. I think that we need to get him the ball in space. Him in the backfield with a feature back creates issues for the defense.

CEH - A big question mark. I think that he is the toughest back we have with the best "between the tackles" mentality.

Curry - time will tell. He has all of the physical tools, but watching his highlights extensively, the opposition he faced most weeks was pretty poor. I predict that he will be a boss once he gets used to the physicality of college... whenever that actually happens.

TLDR... committee time
1.Brossette (50?)
2.CEH (20)
3.Curry (15)
4. Lanard (10)
5. Provens (5)

My preference:
1. CEH(50)
2. Lanard (25)
3. Curry (10)
4. Brossette (10)
5. Provens (5)

More for Curry IF he picks up the playbook and can handle the load.

Helaire is far more talented then some people think. It’s just hard to go from Fournette - Guice - To anyone else.

Brossette will do more than people think he will. He was benched unfairly last season for a fumble, something that happens and that's just part of the game. He hadn't fumbled prior to that I believe, and he showed in some games that he could be an effective RB. He broke off some runs in more then a few games, so I think he'll be of more use than people think he will be. Also, Curry will have to transition to the collegiate level like any RB that's coming out of HS. He won't be tearing it up right away like some people on here think he will be.

He's fumbled more than he's scored.

Multiple times.

I'm pretty sure that he's touched the ball and fumbled at least twice.

I would think he will be the starter but they will go with the hot hand.

Our running backs don’t fumble and keep playing. It’s been that way for YEARS.
