Congrats! More names will be added to that list after next season. :yes:

GO VOLS!

 

[LittleVol]

excellent.

All 3 are In-state guys to boot.

Good homegrown talent.

I think i Hurd you wrong? How many RB's are on that list? I know LSU's back was first choice but Hurd not 2nd?

Chubb

Chubb

Oh sheesh! I forgot about that guy! Thanks

Sucks for Hurd. The other guys had holes to run through. Hurd spent the whole year dragging people or running around them to average 4.5 yards a carry.

 

[VoltillweFall]

Definitely should be fuel for Hurd going forward... Personal Accomplishments shouldn't be main focus, but he got snubbed.....

Totally agree! He sure was more important for us than the other guys were for their teams.

He didn't get snubbed he just didn't get any blocking during the season. The whole country knows who Chubb is. People haven't Hurd of Jalen yet.

They will and soon....

Here's the complete list. Chubb and Fournette are the backs.

SEC All-Freshman Football Team

 

[Shakinthefat]

No Medley?

 

[GOATeric14berry]

I didn't thank fornette was that good

 

[Nationdom]

Those guys are better then Hurd. Just a fact.

 

[Cartervol]

He wasn't all that impressive. I'd take Hurd over him..

 

[volboy81]

No Medley?

My thinking as well. Ky kicker got it. Probably had 40-50 field goals!!

 

[Biopsyman]

No Wolf?

 

[jeffmcflurry27]

I don't see how you can prove that one way or the other when those two guys had gaping holes larger than Jenna Jamison's hoo hoo on every other play. Maybe you are right, but I don't think there is enough proof to support that claim at this time.

#1 Personal awards lists are almost always twisted in some way. Remember, Mante' Tau nearly won the Heisman Trophy!
#2 There is no shame in being behind those 2 freshmen. RB is deep this yr in FR.
#3 Hurd was the only one of the 3 who did his work without anyone blocking. Impressed.

 

[livefaith]

No Wolf?

He had a few drops after coming back, then just disappeared from receptions.

 

[Perkins_Hall]

Those guys are better then Hurd. Just a fact.

uh, with all due respect, i disagree. i will say those guys had better blocking and i'll bet those guys don't get close to their total yardage with the OL we have.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

Among freshman running backs, CHUBB stood head and shoulders above the other freshmen.

I would list Fournette second, and Hurd third.

Jalen is a good back, their is no doubt but if you watch all three and the way they move, quickness, agility, top speed, power, Jalen is clearly behind Chubb. He's closer to Leonard though.

 

[turambar85]

No Medley?

Medley was good, but Macginnis was better. More FG's, a higher percentage, 8 FGs over 40 yards compared to Medley's 1, didn't miss an XP, and had 11 more points overall.

 

[Wolfeman_Vol]

I appreciate Jalen being a Vol tremendously, but Chubb is ridiculous. Fournette came on strong late in the season. You can make an argument for he and Hurd being better than one or the other, but this season Chubb was on a different level.
