That's what happens when you get football analysis from a UK fan. Sorry, but its true.

Hell, it's not even a highlight film. It's a damn YouTube video thrown together by some fans.

Not to mention, you're basing your silly observation on a highlight film. Highlight films are, by nature, made to make a player look ridiculous.


I agree but the just watch the oline. They make it happen for him.

So explain his high school prowess as a first-team 5A state RB two years in a row. And three consecutive 1,000+ yard seasons.

Was Alabama's O-Line making it happen for him then too?

Of course that's what it looks like. It's a highlight video. Do you think they are going to show clips of him turning a 2 yard loss into a 3 yard gain? Highlight runs are the product of good blocking.

Ok, that further proves my point.

He contributes quite a bit for UK Football on this board.

He thinks they'll be the most improved team in the SEC in Stoops' first year.

Ben Howell was numero uno underrated. I agree

They could be, but this has nothing to do with Eddie Lacy being over rated. While I think he is, the fact that he is running behind some decent talent doesn't justify that.

I'll admit the OLine is dominating on that tape, but how can you watch that and think Lacy is overrated? He's downfield juking and spinning past safeties in about half of those clips.

When was the last time there was an SEC RB with a spin move that good?

I don't think he's overrated at all.

He DID benefit from a great offensive line and a stud freshman to rotate with, but he was still a productive tailback.

It's one of those deals where chances are if you were a productive running back at a major D-1 school, you likely had the benefit of a decent offensive line. That's just how it goes.

The OP is too dull to figure out that Lacy would've likely been good even if he had not gone to Alabama and not had the benefit of their offensive line.

He's not even the best running back in the SEC.
