I think a potential first round draft pick in MSU’s Jonathan Banks ought to get a little love on your top 25 list.

I haven’t really seen too many “Arkansas” haters on here. They are a good team in my opinion, have been for a while, but it always seems to me that Arkansas fans crave attention or desire for people to “hate” them so they can somehow feel better about their team. Lattimore and Davis are both extremely talented players, if you don’t like Jon’s opinion, create your own website and be biased in your choice and put Wilson and Davis at #1 and #2. And South Carolina doesn’t have backups? Obviously you don’t know our roster, Wilds did an excellent job replacing Lattimore last year, plus Kenny Miles is returning, and we have new recruit Mike Davis. That is a good amount of depth to me. And I like your comment about Petrino, you said that Arky will be better off without him, but I bet you were hoping he stayed, because he is a good coach, and Arky will certainly suffer somewhat from him being gone.

no capable back up. You do realize that USC had three other backs hurt that year and the fifth string back was running around 80 yards a game and had a couple of hundred plus yard games. Davis has had 7 good games in his carrier. He fits well with Arky because he is fast, but nobody really believe Petrino (sorry too soon) is going to run the ball, so he get’s a lot of room with only 6 in the box. Everyone knows Latti will get the ball, much like Richardson. When everyone in the stadium knows you’re going to get the ball and you still get the yardage you need, that means you are one special player.

That photo is from one of Marcus’ worst games at Carolina. Two fumbles in a loss if I recall. Give us a different photo!!! haha

Jon said to commence yelling at him, so I was. Davis is faster, stronger, quicker, has better vision, better cutting ability, and is as good catching the ball out of the backfield as Lattimore. ML might end up with more yards than Davis, but only because Spurrier runs him into the ground, and Carolina doesn’t have a capable backup behind Lattimore.
All of you Hog-haters can continue to under-estimate the Razorbacks if you want to. Arkansas is obviously better off without Petrino stinking up the campus. Go ahead, poke fun, make jokes, snicker……when Arkansas beats your team this fall you won’t be laughing.

Jessica Dorrell has as good a chance at the Heisman as Wilson or Davis.

Robert Lester is on the list for Bama. I do agree with you about Spurrier running Lattimore too much; however, I think that he will tone it down this year with the number of carries, especially coming off an injury like that.

Hardly… It won’t be as close as you think with Davis or Wilson, I don’t see them really making a strong run for the Heisman at all. They might get some talk at some point in the season after a big game but it wont last. One thing we all know about Lattimore is he is consistent.

One Bama player made the list….hmmm.

Knile and Lattimore are both runningbacks coming back from pretty significant injuries. I would hold your breath on a heisman until then. Plus, if Spurrier runs Lattimore like he did last year who knows what will happen in terms of injuries again.
