Really good chance Harris isn't either and may never, from what most Bama fans are feeling it will be Scarbourgh, I think that's the name. Plus they have the top back in the 17 class committed, who is about 6'2" 225 as a rising HS sr, the back Bama always looks for. Now it will be tough for them to hang on to him until signing day because he is from Cali. But Henry gaining 2200+ yards didn't hurt their chances of keeping him
Wow, UK only favored by 7 1/2 over Southern Miss (posted on KSR).

Nothing will warm my heart more than Damien Harris wasting away a chance of being a starter to being someone who was never a rotational back. It might be best served he transfers somewhere and takes a year to work on his body. But if he stays I'll be so damn happy if he doesn't play rotational snaps. Eff Harris
IIRC Southern Miss was put in as a replacement for UAB when their program disbanded. UK was struggling to find a team to fill the spot and I believe Southern Miss ended up being our only option. Not a whole lot we could have done in this situation, unfortunately.
Unllike UK they scored a ton of points last year...if we don't reach 35+ we will not win, but with SM having a new staff and UK having virtually a new one, this should be quite interesting with SM very possibly having the upper hand with a talented qb to run their offense while I'm sure the UK staff has no idea what they will get from DB...they lost to wku 45-28 in the conf USA championship game and then to Washington 44-31 in bowl game...going to be very interesting how MS plays this for sure being as defensive minded as he is and his penchant for the running game.
The argument was whether or not Boom would start at Bama, not whether Harris will be their starter.
That being said, my gut feeling is Scarborough starts.
More of your same insecurity problem since you can't refute the facts of my posts. Go for it if that makes you feel better.
I can see that it will not be possible to explain indisputable facts about our roster to your satisfaction. But that's okay. In 2015, we had a predominantly freshman-sophomore team. Last September, 6 sophomores and 2 true freshmen started on our offense. Later in the season, a redshirt freshman won the starting quarterback job. By last November, 4 freshmen including 2 true freshmen were starting on our defense. Our placekicker was a sophomore. Based on the blue white game, our projected 2016 starters will be 3 seniors, 11 juniors, and 7 sophomores. Our punter will be a freshman. Our senior left tackle Mosier is a former walk on who will be in extreme danger of being beaten out by a true freshman in August. By objective standards, this is a young team. Our 2016 roster will have only 9 seniors on scholarship, and 1 of them is a former walk on. I'm sure Stoops will be the 1st to agree with you that everything is his responsibility. He has said that before. I'm only suggesting, as I have already suggested several times here, that Stoops should not be judged in terms of his future at Kentucky until the 2017 season is finished. If you want to judge him now, then judge him. But Stoops isn't going anywhere, and it's virtually inevitable that his players will play better as juniors and seniors.
They scored 45 against Charlotte and we scored 52. They did most of their damage against bad teams... 1 win against top 60. I'm not saying they aren't good but if we play their schedule I think we have at least as good of record and score as many, or more, points.
Wku manhandled them. Not saying we beat wku last year but they don't match up physically with us. If ware, bonner, and Allen can provide heat I just don't see them scoring 30+ on us.
I'm more worried about vandy and missou as winnable games. Those 2 teams are a good qb away from being pretty good.
Most of your posts are nonsubstantive. Subjective opinions are nonsubstantive. Insults are also nonsubstantive. So there isn't very much to refute. In the past, I have sometimes agreed with your posts, but you do not remember that because you are an angry poster in the attack attack attack mode. I won't dignify your childish personal criticisms. The numbers speak for themselves. You have made 17,375 posts. Just 390 likes. That's probably the worst ratio on the entire board, so I understand why you seem agitated.
Exactly. A good team, hungry for a BCS conference win, lead by an OC with intimate knowledge of the opponent and a huge chip on his shoulder. This is a cupcake in name only.
My point is that on paper everything seems to be fairly equal with only their excellent qb possibly being the difference...lots of turnover on both sides ... silk believe we will need to score a bunch to win.
You have to spend time building a solid foundation when constructing a building, you cannot skimp on materials and time when laying the foundation because that is what the entire project rests on. Skip paying attention to the foundation and no matter how pleasing to the eye the building is when completed it will have long term problems and be at risk in every storm. Expecting to have a well built structure by hurrying, skimping, or ignoring the process of building the foundation properly will only lead to premature structural failure. Building correctly requires knowledge, a bit of patience, and foresight on a part of the structure the vast majority of people never see or appreciate and know very little of it's value.
You cannot start erecting the walls until the foundation has properly matured or it will not sustain the weight properly.
Thanks for the construction lesson. Wasn't questioning Stoops' approach. The argument is whether any of our starters would start for Bama this year in the system that they run and taken directly from UK's roster without time to be developed by Saban. Answer IMO is no. Now if we go with the argument that some day they may because the foundation is being built that's different.
Not much doubt in my mind, his picture shows a beast in a football uniform. I also watched a mopup game where Harris gained a couple yards a couple of times and Scarbrough (or does it have an "o"?) was impossible to get down, although only about a 6 yard gain.
But I am confused, I think Harris was their starting RB in the spring game and I didn't hear Scarb mentioned, was he injured again? Delayed a year, injured a year, is he eligible for the draft after this year?
