TR will scare the hell out of most defenses next year. He will be in the Heisman Trophy conversation again. If he didn't get banged up this year he would have been a favorite all year.

No. Not unless he improves and developes as a back.

Here is the deal with Richardson. He is a physical freak with outrageous power and great speed. He is however not a complete or great back to date. He runs in a straight line and does not make people miss often. He is not great at cut backs or vision. His whole life he has been a straight line runner that runs over everyone and has break away speed. In the SEC though, you have to be able to make cuts and make people miss, not just run over people. No doubt he is a very good back. He will just not put up the heisman type numbers, even as the feature back unless he can improve in the areas mentioned.

I wish it wasn't true, but TR is the best RB in the conference.
