Newbomb 193 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think many have made up their minds on this question after watching the A day game. Now is the time to have some fun and see what everyone thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammycam2 173 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I have got roc being far and away more explosive than any other back on the roster. I think he takes over completely by game 3. Just a hunch. not downing the other guys at all i am just purely hyped about roc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbritt 611 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think Roc looks vastly improved over last season. I wouldn't be shocked to see him take over. However, my $ is on Jovon. I still think Roc gets significant carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUEngineer2016 407 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I voted for Roc on this one, mostly because I think that Jovon will be more of our ground-and-pound back whereas Roc can be our home run threat. Jovon may have more carries, but Roc should have more YPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warbird82 160 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Really depends on who gets the "hot hand"...CGM has always played the guy with the hot hand...just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimesAU 89 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Went with Barber because I've been picking him to win the job for 2 years and only a coward would back out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooltigger21 0 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I'll go with jovon. A day game results don't mean much. I think our hone runs are going to come in the passing game. Doesn't matter though in the end. Whoever it is will rack up a lot of yards and that is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Really think we might have 3 1000 yard rushers or close to it, with JJ clipping another 400. My guess would be AU has a 4000/4000 year (rush yds/ pass yds) Know that sounds like a lot, but I expect this defense to cause some three and outs as well as turn-overs. Gus has been in the 6000-7000 yds total offense before and I think this is probably the best offense he has fielded. Got a feeling records will fall at AU this year.

juscAUse 1 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Jovon. If he doesn't get hurt. ROC will be fine, too. Barber will come in to ice the game. And will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,039 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Went with Barber because I've been picking him to win the job for 2 years and only a coward would back out now. Barber isn't going to start. I'm going with Roc. He has had a great spring. I agree. If Roc is the 1 cut runner he was Saturday & how the staff wants him to be he will be very tough to beat out. He just has to remember this ain't the Pac 12 where you can just Reggie Bush bounce it out a lot. This is the SEC where you make 21 cut & go.

ellitor 33,039 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I just hope he can stay healthy. Adding 10 lbs of muscle since last year should help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lutzintheredzone 0 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I think Roc gonna get alot of screens thrown to him,so he well prob rush for 800,catch for 500...similar to Onterio McCalebb. So Jovon by default I say prob 1200 yds for him. I think Louis,Truitt,Smith gonna be deadly on the jet sweep. Johnson will run when he needs to,he might get 200 yards.

AUpreacherman22 3,841 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Maybe I'm just crazy, but I think these predictions for JJ rushing for 200-400 yards is way off. In addition to scrambling for several first downs, I think we'll see a lot of designed runs (read option and power runs a la Cam). I am predicting JJ to get closer to 750-800 yards. Btw, I picked Roc for the poll. He reminds me of Caddy! We may get to see what Caddy could have done in a Gus offense! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareagleupward 1 Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 My guess is running back by committee for first half of the season with a feature back emerging for second half of season. All three backs and Jeremy Johnson will break 500 yards. 200-300 yards rushing a game will be great no matter who gets the carries and hopefully a good ground game to run clock in the fourth quarter.
