Auburn quarterback Payton Thorne spoke to the media this week and was asked about the running back room and how good it can be this season.

Thorne responded," I think our running back room is loaded. Jarquez is a special player. He's an awesome dude. Damari is also a great guy. He has a unique set of skills. He can catch the ball, he's quick, and he gets in and out of his cuts really well. He's just a great guy to be around. Brian Battie he's a running back of his own. His vision sometimes gets lost back there. These little windows, he can split through it. Then, Jeremiah, he's been making plays all fall. I think we have a great running back room."

In the SEC, depth at every position is key, and this Auburn football team clearly has a stable of running backs who can all get the job done.

Thorne has played with some talented running backs, including Kenneth Walker III, so hearing Auburn's starting quarterback talking up this room is exciting.

Auburn football and talented running backs go together like peanut butter and jelly, so the talent in this room is no surprise.

The Tigers will have an explosive offense thanks to Thorne, Coach Freeze, and this running back room.

I can't wait to see them run all over the field in just a few days against UMass.
