Lacey was behind a better line this year than richardson was in '10 imo.

I'm thinking you don't know shite about defense.

2nd, 3rd, and 4th string backs always look better than the starter when a defense is already gasping for air.

I dont think he will get trents numbers. He is a good back and will put up nice numbers, also he is one of the few la recruits that left la and hasn't turned out to be a shite head.

I could be productive running behind that offensive line that has mastered how to get away with holding. Yes, they will both be overrated going to the NFL like Ingram.



So basically my answer to your question is yes.

I think Lacy will be a great back for sure, not so sure he has that breakaway speed like BATMFR had though.

Lacy will break the SEC career YPC record, if he gets enough carries this year to qualify.

He just has to put up Glen Coffee circa 2008 numbers to be a successful running back in '12. I bet Coffee wishes he would have stayed his senior year.

Much to the chagrin of many on the SEC RANT, Lacy will have comparable numbers to TR. He's not AS talented, but he's very good and the offensive line will be great. Every team saw TR as one of the best players in FB and schemed to stop him. You won't see that to the same degree with Lacy....... at least not for a while. AND, the passing game will be opened up a little next year with an experienced QB. That will give EL more room to spin.

Barring injury, Lacy will have 1,500 yards. Quick, somebody bookmark that.

Aaaaaaand there it is. The annual Alabama's back-up RB will be all world everything next year thread. Even better than the guy before him.

Lacy will not be a bad back. . .but he only did as well as he did, because no team game planned for him.

One run was for 10% of his total. Take that away and his yards per rush drops to 6.5.

So while I think he'll be a good back for us (and possibly one of the top 4-5 backs in the SEC), he won't be a Trent.
