Naw, you wanna talk about a three-headed monster at running back, go back to 1973 (Bubba Bean, Alvin Bowers, Skip Walker), 1974 (Bubba Bean, Bucky Sams, Skip Walker), 1975 (Bubba Bean, George Woodard, Skip Walker), or 1976 and 1977 (Curtis Dickey, George Woodard, David Brothers).LETTUCE PRAY said:

Would have loved to see a backfield of Bean, Woodard, and Dickey!
Different era, different offense, different players on O and D, I know but man, those years were sweet, that is until we need to complete a forward pass.
I don't believe we were in the SEC in the 70s.
But we did have a running back room
Can be in Moss is healthy. If moss isn't, then it's a big concern.

If Moss and Owens come back 100% healthy then yes. I'm not, then not so much.
I'm kind of curious about what that kid from the Memphis area can do.

Excuse me sir what does this have to do with the 2025 Texas A&M Aggies in the SEC?
Moss, Daniels and Owens will gives us an above average SEC running room assuming Moss comes back at full speed. Owens is going to have to show he can break tackles and follow his blockers better before we enter the conversation for best RB room.
With Moss, it is absolutely better than just above average. We were #1 in the sec in rush offense when he was available.
Don't forget pass pro. I will concede Rbs were better in that area this year but I still need to see Owens stick his nose in and stone a blitzer.

yea, an ignorant OP...
Moss - injured, we shall see how he comes back (unknown)
Daniels - surgery at end of season and will be coming back from an injury
Owens - back from injury and unknown if really the same and has the same speed
Did OP even review other SEC teams RB rooms in which there are several with deeper talent on the rosters and not as banged up as ours? Nah, you didn't and just stirring the lemmings.

Play for the name on the front of your jersey, not the back...
Doesn't Georgia have 4 RBs all from the top 100? Roderick Robinson #57, Branson Robinson #39, Nate Frasier #49, and Travis Etienne #92?
Excuse me, I thought this was the zoo.
Do we really have to read the thread subject in order to comment?

Moss was obviously the real deal and he's enough alone to be an elite RB room, but that was a bad injury. We'll see how/if he comes back.
I'm pretty sure Travis Etienne doesn't play for the Bulldogs.Admiral Nelson said:

Deeper talent? Maybe. More proven production? No (pending final results of the transfer portal). I agree with you that all three of our guys are somewhat questionable due to injuries, so there is no guarantee on any of them, but it is a better RB room than a team with a bunch of star rankings that haven't proven themselves yet.90ags said:

That being said, the OL usually has a lot more to do with the success of the ground game than the RBs. Here's hoping that ours keeps improving.
IF they stay healthy. We have been screwed by the injury bug all too often over the years.
I don't think so. There is maybe 20 carries per game to divide between the running backs. While the overall quality may be tops, the quantity of yards won't keep them all happy and won't suffice as a three headed monster.
I think Klein is happy to run it more if we have our full stable. I think he felt a bit apprehensive overusing anyone especially after losing Moss.Canyon Lake Agbu94 said:

Unless my math is wrong. We averaged 40 carries a game. RB had about 35 carries a game.
Give Moss and Owens 10+ each and Daniels 8-10. There's plenty of carries to go around.

1993 we had Greg Hill, Rodney Thomas, and Leeland McElroy.

I hope you weren't saying the same thing about the QB room last year.

2025 = natty
Our oline couldn't get inches when it mattered most last year
& we've done nothing in the portal to improve the unit going into next year.... in fact we've lost depth pieces to the portal
I really hope our plan isn't to expect different results from doing the exact same thing next year

This is something someone says when they have zero idea what other RBs the rest of the conference has.LETTUCE PRAY said:

None of our current RBs will sniff the 5th pick in the draft like Curtis Dickey was.
I think you do prey on lettuce, OP.
A LOT OF IT!

What're you new here?
Not very on point to drag up an old "dream" backfield from the wishbone days, but if you wanted to talk about Aggie 3-headed monster backfields from the past, how about Rodney Thomas, Greg Hill and Leland McElroy?CCAD AG said:Naw, you wanna talk about a three-headed monster at running back, go back to 1973 (Bubba Bean, Alvin Bowers, Skip Walker), 1974 (Bubba Bean, Bucky Sams, Skip Walker), 1975 (Bubba Bean, George Woodard, Skip Walker), or 1976 and 1977 (Curtis Dickey, George Woodard, David Brothers).LETTUCE PRAY said:

To be fair RB aren't drafted like they were back then.
Last year the first RB wasn't selected until the 14th pick of round 2, 46th overall. In 1980 6 RB were selected by the 46th pick.

Quote:
Daniels is barely good enough to be a third string back in the SEC.
And yet he was doing great as a backup to moss, but he's barely good enough to be the 3rd string?
The constant need of some of our fans to continually bash our program, coaches and players is sickening
Daniels showed some power and drive before he got hurt . He's a quality rb.
I know Owens has a lot of measurables wrt speed , size, and athletic ability but it hasn't really translated to top flight rb …. Yet
