they recruit RB they run the RB over and over. Highschool kids want to play early and lots. UGA gives them this opportunity along with the SEC love fest. If they show out they are instantly a heisman contender. Kids never beleive they will get injured until it happens.

the RB does get injured (see Lattimore and every feature UGA RB in the last 5 years). Like I said in a previous post, Gallman had a lot of carries, but he is carrying the ball against a defense that is playing pass. I know UGA recruited a great QB, but he was not great last year, and who is to say he will be great? That means UGA RB's get to run against 8/9 man fronts with 240-260 pound LB's running downhill.

To Quote Rocky's Famous Manager Mickey Goldmill....... "He'll Kill you to Death in 3 rounds!"  Instead here it should be if your a top notch Running Back..... "UGA will kill you to death in 3/4 years!!!!#"
I like many of Mickeys quotes. Another favorite is "He'll knock you into tomorrow Rock!!!" And he just called everyone Bum! Lol

So true! They have sent a lot of running backs to the NFL. Running backs see 35 to 40 carries per game in their outdated offense. They also pay for it with their health. In our offense a rb might see 25 carries at best but he would improve his receiving skills. That's something's the NFL scouts like to see in a rb these days. The area that his high school is in has not been good to us in recruiting always. Is there an SEC footprint up there?

Stats are fun - sometimes. They should never be use in this scenario. Stats are meant to be twisted and turned and manipulated until they appear the way you need them to support your cause. That's all.
Zamir will make his choice. We will be fine either way. Regardless of the outcome, UGA does NOT want any part of CLEMSON.

Georgia has sent a whole bunch of RB's to the NFL and in the offense Georgia runs, the RB will carry the ball 30+ times per game.

By no stretch a Dawgs fan but they did just recruit one of their best classes in a while; a class that I believe includes two 5-star offensive linemen. Per usual, there's a lot of buzz in Athens right now but even last year, with a decent line, that could have competed.
