Just like LSU, Bama always has a couple of very good backs. I just dont see T.J.Yeldon being one of those guys.


He is when he plays lsu. Check his stats out.

6.1 YPR against LSU, 104.5 rushes per game (133 in the last match-up)

Dude's gone for 1108 and 1235, respectively, in his two seasons in Tuscaloosa while running at a 6.0 and 6.3 YPC clip, respectively as well. He's also added 27 total TDs in two seasons.

He also has had productive games in Alabama's biggest games of the past two years.

I think the reason T.J. doesn't get more respect is because of his effeminate running style and his propensity to fumble. He runs upright and he tippy-toes and his legs flail out like a girl.

Todd Gurley is much more talented than T.J. and I don't think it's close.

Todd Gurley has a running style that is very "manly".
T.J. Yeldon has a running style that is very "girly".

For now on we should refer to these two running backs as Todd "manly" Gurley and T.J. "girly" Yeldon.
