Who looks better with their shirt off though? That's the real question.



Who has the best looking Calves is another question that must be answered.

Really? Lacy has seemed pretty damn physical to me. He hardly ever goes down at first contact, and is always going forward.



I don't mean that he isn't physical in the sense that you can sneeze on him and knock him down. He just doesn't seem to like to hit people as much as TR. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. I think TR seeks contact too much from time to time. But Ingram would always try to truck a DB that had an angle on him to get an extra 2 or 3 yards and let the guy know who the boss is. I'd like to see Lacy do that more often.

Ford ran for nearly 100 yards (2 TDs) at 6.9 ypc against a legit top-15 team.

Lacy looks great against patsies. Better than TR.

They are a top ten team because of their offense, not their defense. Ford is good though. He has improved a lot from last year also.

I will add that I think that its completely bad arse that Ford doesn't wear gloves ever. Old school shite.

Both Ford and Lacy have improved a ton. As a backup, I'd take Lacy. If I were picking one of the two to start.. give me Ford. I think Ford is more of a true feature back type RB than Lacy is. I'd love me some Lacy on 3rd down though, he's deceptively good out of the backfield.

Ford > Lacy as a #1 back
Lacy > Ford as a #2 back

NCAA 2013? Give me Lacy and I'll mash O all day. Dat spin move.

Due to their offense, yes.

Not like I asked whose D**K was longer.

You must not be comfortable with your sexuality. I'm not surprised in the least.

I agree. I also think Ford good, nut a great blocker, but he is good. him and ware could both run for 1000 yards this season. that would be crazy.

If we make an SECCG appearance there is a very good chance actually. Didn't realize they were both at ~220 rushing yards. I'd bet one gets to 1k and the other is around 800-900.

14 games (SECCG appearance):
Ford - average 71 ypg
Ware - 70.36 ypg

13 games (bowl appearance):
Ford - 78 ypg
Ware - 77 ypg

At this point, it's undeniable that Ford has faced far better teams than Lacey has. Two of the Tide's first three opponents have yet to win a game. Penn State only won 14-10 over Temple.

Keep telling yourself that. There's a reason baseball players put weights on their bats before they go up to the plate. Makes it easier to swing the ball when the weights come off.

The Tide is running into the same situation they had last year. Punching through cupcakes does not prepare you for big time football.

Last year it was South Carolina that provided the wake up call. Wonder who it will be this year?
