Texas RBs

[Texas fan in Georgia]

read an article where tashard choice compared jaydon blue to jahmyr Gibbs. I just got to thinking about our running backs :

1- Can blue do anything to take over RB1 reps ahead of Baxter ? 

2-who should get the bulk of the carries this year?

3- could Baxter and blue be a better combo than  Bijan/Roschon ?

1. Sure. But I think Baxter remains the better power runner. And Sark loves running between the tackles.

2. Baxter IMO.

3. Baxter/Blue both probably have more "upside" than Roschon and less so than Bijan. But Roschon had the heart of a lion. Hard to even quantify that IMO.

I do believe Baxter is the overall better of the two. But the way blue came on in the late part of the season just makes it all the more exciting.

Oh, I think everyone should be excited by Blue. I think Baxter has so much growth ahead of him it’s almost ridiculous though.

Quite a tandem.
