AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Peyton Barber has watched Tre Mason rush for 1,800 yards and Cameron Artis-Payne rush for 1,600 more during the last two seasons.

Barber wants to see what he can do.

Barber is in an Auburn running back race with Roc Thomas, Jovon Robinson and Kerryon Johnson, one that began when preseason practice began two weeks ago, and one that continued in Saturday's scrimmage in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

There's no winner yet, though running backs coach Tim Horton said Thomas and Barber are the leaders of the pack.
