Chubb has shown me nothing to believe he is better than either Snell or Boom.
That gruesome injury apparently has slowed him this season.

Not 2 of the top 3 but maybe two of the top 6 or 7. Harris is good like it or not. Vandy' Webb is good, they just suck. Fournette is the best, but had a slow start this season. Think he was hurt or something, haven't followed him much.

I really hope Boom comes back for his senior season. That one two punch of Benny and Boom will be devastating. Both backs able to keep each other fresh by spelling each other when needed. I think Boom has gotten where he has on the cusp of 1000 yards because of Benny being able to take some of the load off him and keeping him relatively fresh and healthy.

Boom and Snell can play for anyone in the SEC. Whether they are top 3 can be debated forever. Way too many good backs in this league. Just to have them in the conversation say a lot about their ability. Guarantee you one thing, d coordinator's across this league respect the hell out of Boom, and I would imagine Snell is turning heads.

With his 2 rushing TDs today, Benny Snell Jr. breaks Randall Cobb's single-season Kentucky record for rushing TDs by a freshman
