6. Glen Coffee, Alabama, RB: We've heard so much about how great the Tide O-line has been. But it's time to give some praise to the junior running back. He was pretty average last season (545 yards, 4.2 ypc with a long of just 20 yards on 129 carries.) This year, behind an improved line, Coffee, a speedy back with surprising power, has become a game-breaker, averaging 7.5 yards per carry and already has eclipsed his yardage total with 708 and has ripped off runs of 51, 87 and 78 yards.

I still believe...
…that Roy Upchurch and Mark Ingram could do similar things with the same amount of reps, but I have to admit that Glen Coffee has been one of the best surprises this year. And, while it seems artificial with some players, I have to admit that I’m starting to like how Coffee always ‘gives the glory to God’ whenever he is interviewed. Now that’s good Coffee.
