Both Tiger and Jamarion Morrow came in as 4 star recruits, with them being rated very closely on most platforms. However Morrow was the freshman darling of last season, and projects to have a breakout season next year, while there hasn't been much excitement with Riden. Of course the injuries he sustained during last summer stunted his development, but how do y'all see his future at A&M unfolding, and how much run will he get next season? Personally I love the way he plays, and think that he adds a physicality which the rb room could need (although Owens now being bulked up could change things).

we absolutely need a back any back thay can run straight forward and pick up 1 yard when everyone in the stadium knows they are getting the ball. some people say this tyoe of player ala javirski lane are a thing of the past but i disagree. with the amount of 4th downs coaches go for these days it is imperative to have a back thay can get you thise tough yards. virtually every loss we have had over the last two seasons has been directly impacted by our inability to lock up 1-2 yards.

if the tiger can do this then he will play or at least he should.

I really liked what Tiger showed in his limited carries. He will hopefully get significant chances this year

Definitely need an improved running game, I think RB1 should be up for grabs.

I predict that Tiger will eat a lot... of yardage. Possibly Subway as well.

KJ Edwards may be RB #1 by end of next season as well with the stable having reloaded. I think he's gonna be a special player for A&M.

I completely agree with you. What confuses me is that this role, at least by the media, has seemingly been penciled in for the freshman Carsyn Baker (I may have misspelled that). Of course everything is capable of changing before the season, but all the chatter has been that baker is the most physical, downhill runner as of now.

He looked great against Samford. Had some solid physical runs as well as a decently long touchdown that was called back if I'm remembering correctly

Any one of the backs can separate from the group.
