If anybody in the country knows how to coach RBs, it would be Eddie Gran. I still remember that awesome group of backs he coached on the undefeated Auburn squad back in (I believe) 2005.

I love Boom, but I think Gran's hire put Horton and Kemp's importance on par with our impressive scat back. I like that. I don't get the feeling of favorites like I did last year.

Could just be me, but I doubt it.

How was Boom a favorite when he was yanked and suspended for his attitude? It isn't called being a favorite when you get the majority of carries and a little lead way when making a bad decision...it's called being the best player at your position and there is no doubt Boom was that.

I don't think he meant "favorites" the same way you are.

I doubt Dawson was the reason for Boom's suspension... Anyway, a veteran coach like Gran would distribute the ball to whomever was best in a given situation. How about we don't run Boom up the gut on the goal line? Boom is our best player, but he has his limitations and times when someone else would've done the job better. Sorry if that offends anyone.
