Lattimore has over a full game’s worth more carries (24) than Gurley and almost 100 yards less. He has 40 carries (over two game’s worth) more than Marshall with basically the same amount of yards. Notwithstanding the differences in average yards per carry, which is impressive, the more compelling aspect is the workload factor this will have as the season grinds on.
It’s beginning to seem like you can take every year’s preseason meme and flip it on its ear.
Going into this year we were fearful of an inexperienced, thin O-line with no Crowell and two true freshman behind them, and banking on a lights out performance from a highly ranked D with everyone returning.
Now we have a road paving O-line with two stud RBs and some very dicey play from the D.
I have noticed this going back a few yrs. Last yr it was the Special teams with kickers and returners coming back and that was horrible. The yr before was RBs with both King and Ealy returrning and they were almost average but below expectations. A few yrs befroe that was an OLine that returned in tact with several multi yr starts that could block squat.
Damn that will get you going first thing on a Monday.
Look at the last player on the second chart. I blame Bobo.
Also look what happens when you click the TD column on that chart.
This is where I make a girly SQUEE! sound and then go watch youtube highlights for an hour. Piss off work.
Also, Rajion Neal might die before the end of the season. He’s rushed 102 times so far.
lattimore disrupt, detain and tackle (use ddt)
I like this chart best, and hears to the team at the top staying there.

Also, for all of the hype around Bama’s OL and RBs (Yeldon & Lacy), there is a pretty attractive ‘Gurshall’ comparison there as well.

I blame Grantham.

For the first time in UGA history there is a really good chance to have two 1000 yard rushers in the same season….who saw that coming?
This and this ain’t bad either.
Well now that we are all sky high… let’s look at the other side of the ball. Your up Scorpio!
