The Blue Board

You guys are going to drive yourself crazy watching every carry between these 2. 3 weeks ago, we saw Gurley put up 47 yards on 12 carries against UK and last week we saw Yeldon put up over 100 total yards and 2 TDs against LSU. These guys are frosh and they are expected to have good and bad games.

I'm more than pleased with Yeldon and he has far exceeded my expectations. That said, Cooper is our best frosh this year. That kid is going to be a real star in this league. I think he is better than Julio Jones was at this point in their careers.

Yeldon wishes he was a Gurley man! :)

Yeldon, Gurley, (and Marshall) are three very impressive freshman backs in the SEC this year.

Gurley has been the most productive of the three. Yeldon is oozing with talent. He's slippier than Richardson/Ingram, but not mack truck tough like those guys. Gurley's more fit for those previous heisman winner molds. Doesn't mean Yeldon's anything less, just a different mold of a running back.

(for current stats sake)
Gurley - 149 att - 973 yds - 6.5 avg - 11 tds
Yeldon - 114 att - 754 yds - 6.6 avg - 8 tds
Marshall - 93 att - 625 yds - 6.7 avg - 6 tds

Haha. Going to the Dome baby!

I would not kick either one of them off my team.

They both have long careers ahead of them.

Great comment. Both backs are fantastic. No point in playing the who is better game. I'm sure neither fan base would trade one for the other.

Best offensive line in college football balled out tonight.

Impressive work by Bama's OL.

Yeldon's a great back. Gurley's a great back. Very tough to come away saying which is better.

Easy to come away saying Bama's OL is better.

trade ? hell no but the REC is already working a transfer deal with G's folks.

Fan of gurley, guy runs hard and powerful

Way too early to say which one is better, both are studs. Yeldon is running behind a much better line.

Girly runs down hill and I was blown away about how quick he was staying inbetween the tackles and how quickly he shifted left/right right/left. TJ has serious lumber laying ability but it seems he more of a make you miss guy with the ability to run you over when he deems it necessary. Thoroughly impressed w/ all backs on both sides of the ball.

Gurley is 1st team all SEC.
