Is Wright the best RB in the SEC?

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

And if not, who is better?

 

[Orange931]

I’d say yes even though I don’t think he has the best stats. That’s due to sharing the load with Small and Sampson, but I’m good with it. It’s working, this is our most elite rushing attack since Lewis, Henry and Stephens.

 

[posivol]

hell yeah

 

[The Original Fade]

Davis at UK is really good

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

He’s damn good. How about freaking Cooper Mays returning our offensive line to form?

Davis at UK is really good

This. Wright is top tier SEC. But this Davis guy is elite.

 

[Dudleys87]

He needs more carries

 

[walkenvol]

He needs more carries

Seems to take himself out a lot. Maybe when your giving max effort on every run you need more pit stops?

 

[patrick]

And if not, who is better?

Hell no. He isn’t even the best back in TN’s backfield.

Boo this man. Boo him.

Davis is a good player. Ran for 1000 yards last year at Vandy. Gets almost all the carries this year for KY, so has put up a lot of yards. J Wright is averaging the same YPC as Davis.

He's a violent runner or at least he was today
.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Hell no. He isn’t even the best back in TN’s backfield.

Please back this up with something. Literally anything, just give one stat that backs this up.

 

[Carl Pickens]

He needs more carries

He could end up UT’s all time leading rusher

 

[ptgrbn]

And if not, who is better?

Ray Davis….but its close

 

[Dudleys87]

Ohh really?

Didn’t realize that on YPC, but you are right.

Oh whatever

 

[MiramarVol]

We need to find a left guard. Lane ain't it.

 

[Orange931]

Ollie “express” Lane

Jaylen Wright has improved a ton and is likely working his way toward a day 2 pick in the NFL Draft. I'd still take Quinshon Judkins or Rocket Sanders (currently injured) in a vacuum, but Wright is probably top-5.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Ohh really?

He’s roughly 1400 yards away…with 18 regular season games left in his career.

He has 435 yards with 6 games left and he ran for 875 last year…. It’s possible

He’ll need to average 75 yards a game or so to do it… but like you said…. He needs more carries. He’s definitely separated himself from the other two

 

[ProudVOLfan]

Ray Davis is the best IMO. Dude is a man among boys out there running
