🏈 Spurrier fine with Davis leaving after 2014

BLYTHEWOOD, S.C. -- South Carolina running back Mike Davis enjoyed quite the breakout season in 2013, but bigger things could be in store for one of the SEC's best offensive weapons. Built like a miniature tank, Davis could build on his 1,183-yard, 11-touchdown performance in 2013 with a run at the Heisman or at least a spot on the All-SEC first team. But the junior also has a chance to propel himself into the mix of players vying for the coveted spot of being the first running back taken in next year's NFL draft.

As we have discussed regarding our own running backs, running backs have only a set number of carries (read hits your body can take) in them, who can blame them for leaving early.

I don't blame them at all, if they can make the grade at the next level.

I can probably come up with a half of a dozen guys that could be put behind the line UofSC fields this year and they'd have the same results Davis will record. I have doubts if I could put Davis behind some other teams' offensive lines and he'd do as well.

As example, the duo of Alex Collins and Jonathan Williams put up some impressive numbers last year behind the Arkansas line—two backs putting up numbers very similar to Davis who was a featured back.
