Running back U has always and will always be Auburn, USC tried to make a push but between OJ and Reggie 1.5 wasn't enough to even begin to compare. I mean, Brandon Jacobs, the NY giants bell cow transferred from Auburn for his senior year because he was 3rd string behind caddy and ronnie. So, from Auburns 2004 undefeated season, technically there are 4 members of their offensive backfield starting in the NFL.  Thats just one year.. don't make me bring BO into this lol

The most impressive thing I've noticed was his GPA. Athletic ability and brain power blessed...

[enzo9239]

He's faster than both of them...he's just a little bit shorter

[AuburnFanatic44]

He was sick leading up to the All American game and he has much more speed than tate i think he will be just mine

war eagle!

Du what?

I understand what you are saying but no disrespect to Dyer but Tate is just a freak of nature having that size and that speed. I thin AU would be better of with Seastrunk ot Lattimore.

[AUdude1992]

@KOARTISTCHRIS thats why AU uses multiple backs. Tate did have the speed to get to the outside and beat linebackers, but he could also take it up the middle along with Fannin. McCaleb was our speed guy (before he got hurt). You watch tape from LA Tech, MSU, and Ball State, not the best Ds in the country, but you get an idea about what McCaleb can do when he gets the corner. I think AU uses a lot of multiple-back sets and I think we'll see more reverses with the new RBs that were recruited.

[KOARTISTCHRIS]

At first I was really impressed with Dyer but after watching the UA All American game today I think he just doesn't fit Auburns offense. He would be better going to a school that runs the i formation because he is one of the worst pass blockers I have ever seen and he just does not have the speed to bounce it out side against D1 linebackers. Dyer will be a bust if he plays in the spread.

McCaleb will never be able to gain very much weight due to his frame. But personally i dont think thats a bad thing. If he gains weight he will lose some of his agility and quickness. Auburn already has the power back with Mario and Dyer and other backs coming up. McCaleb is the speed back that gives auburns team more diversity and will make them harder to stop

meant weight*

d12basketball... mccaleb is fast as we saw in the season but he needs to gain wait if he wants to be starting... Also with our new offense i don't see us running dyer and mcCaleb or maybe dyer and fannin or eric because i dont see us putting in a runner who can hurt you with speed and can truck you then put in McCaleb who can only use his speed.... If we did run two hb its gonna be the bigger one's....Thanks...WDE!
