No. Completey different players. Unless you mean they are both white.

Our offense just got a lot better.

Yeah, McCaffrey is a much more explosive, quick burst athlete that can take it the distance anytime, anywhere. Bish has pretty good speed, but his size and power is what makes him a much different player than McCaffrey. CMac is pretty slippery, and it allows him to break tackles, whereas Bish just trucks kids and keeps going.
Agree with Adkins skillset. I think he's a PAC12 running back but maybe an NFL LB or H-Back. I'm more optimistic than you.
He was running away from guys in Northern California, not Florida.... He was also flat out caught from behind.
That concept of power is a fantasy at this level. The Heisman winner was shut down at Alabama when there were no holes to run thru. He wasn't getting 6 yards when there was none to get.
Watching Adkins play when he is healthy is exciting, the guy just looks like a P5 RB.
Based on his history though counting on him to carry the load is a huge mistake. RBs get hurt, they get ankle sprains, sore shoulders, sore ribs, etc. Adkins has shown that he doesn't play through those so far in his career.
He may be spectacular but that doesn't help you when he is on the sidelines in sweats.
If Bisharat doesn't play RB it is because someone else like Carr has stepped up and taken the job. What I saw on the highlights from Bisharat looks like a guy who could be the best RB we have on the team from day one.
A lot of people here have also counted Julmisse out of the RB race before he ever gets here. Lets see what he and the coaches think about that first.

Yeah - not very often. Pretty amazed he didn't win the Heisman.

That also, by the way, beats Barry Sanders previous season record for all purpose yards of 3,250.
Not winning was a joke. That will be rectified this year barring injury. I hope.
Seems more like the (second) Buff version of Chris Brown.
I'm ok with taking a top 250 player.
Bolded the key. With Stanford's early loss, they weren't on most voter's radar. They need to sweep the OOC and win the Pac12 North for him to have a chance regardless of stats. I do think he should have won it this year, but I never really watched Alabama so I'm the reverse case from most of the media with a vote.

Henry is a typical Alabama running back. Not really spectacular, but he put up numbers because he has amazing talent around him, plus his coach ran him into the ground despite having several good back ups.
Yep. Highly possible.
It would be hard to reproduce those statistics but it wouldn't surprise me if he isn't relatively close.
Stanford loses Hogan which will hurt but they weren't a heavily QB oriented offense to start with, McCaffrey will get a lot of touches again barring injury. Teams will focus on him but teams were focused on him last year and it didn't seem to bother him a great deal.
This upcoming season he will be coming into the Heisman race as the leader, much higher profile than last year. It should be his to lose. I would be shocked if Stanford doesn't have a dominating line in front of him and at least some other threats to force some of the defensive attention away from him.
Trophy should be his to lose unless Stanford falls apart as a team.
Every single member of Stanford's starting OL is eligible to return next year. The only question is how many leave early for the draft.
They have also been recruiting well and have a history of developing linemen. If some of those guys do leave they will have quality players who have already played as back-ups ready to step in.

So we're the anti-Stanford.
I was pretty excited this morning when I thought about all the talent we'll have in the Fall that's yet to step on campus.
Offense will look completely different out there with Davis Webb, Juwann Winfree, Beau B, Kabion Ento, and Julmisse and Johnny Huntley. Throw all of these guys in a fast-paced Air-Raid style offense and we might be really fun to watch.
On D adding Drew Lewis will be huge and perhaps another safety.
Getting excited.

Pretty sure we already signed a juco safety (though it sounds like we're looking to add one more, too).
Don't forget getting Tupou back on the DL, and having a bigger, healthier Gillam returning. There is no room for injuries on defense, but the projected starting lineup should be a solid group, IMO.
I don't see that. They've put a couple of short, chunky guys into the league lately. Henry is 6'3", 240 and sculpted. North/South runner, but runs a little high.
