And? Does the amount of carries mean anything? The fact remains that Miles split the carries between 3 backs during that game. That moron stated that Miles never does that. The Alabama game clearly shows how stupid he is.


Hypothetically speaking.. what if the carries looked like this:

Ingram - 20 carries
Trent - 10 carries
Upchurch - 1 carry

Yeah, he definitely split the carries between 3 running backs I think you're alone on this one.

Brilliant. I bet it took hours upon hours of gathering stats, watching game film, and analyzing performance to come up with this. You really are an expert.

Not really. Our freshman is just better. Look at his on the field performance if you are butt-hurt about it.

Eddie Lacy is going to be a great RB. Lacy arrived on campus just before fall camp and hasn't had time to learn the system. Lacy is a player and will see a lot of playing time while he is at Alabama.

alright scoop come clean? you know as much about Louisiana talent, Nick Saban. you even had the opportunity to throw balls in Tiger Stadium during pre-game warmups, at least you said that on this board! Do I smell a weasel in the hen house here? I'm beginning to think you work for Mal Moore and you are directly involved in the scam of getting $aboni take his pro job, setting it up for your yamma bammas after his bogus fail there. after all the SEC office is not far down the road Tuscaloosa? Come clean Scoop, not that I expect you too? Sure, seems like someone inside LSU who isn't so naive, would look into you, if you get what i'm saying?

I've come to realize that Bama fans are very hard to talk with rationally about football. You're comparing a RB who has played to a RB who hasn't played yet. Yes, I know Richardson is also behind Upchurch and Ingram like Ford is behind Scott and Williams. But are you an idiot? LSU's OLine has been terrible so far this year, why would you put a true freshman in when they can't even block good enough for Scott?

If anything your stupid argument proves that right now....Bama's OL > LSU OL

Tennessee has had fairly decent success with a true freshman RB running behind a terrible O-Line. What it all comes down to is your freshman RB isn't as good as Bama's or UT's. Not saying he is a bad player, just not as good as those two.

JESUS CHRIST

TR plays bc he is just as talented as the RBs at Bama!!! are the two RBs ahead of TR as talented as Scott and Williams.....most likely not. Would TR be playing if he came to LSU, most likely not. He would be doin exactly as Ford is doin. Ford isnt playing bc LSU has Scott, WIlliams, Trindon infront of him, which they are doing just fine. No need to use Ford at this point in time. Saving his Redshirt. You CAN NOT compare TR and FORD until they both play.

To say TR is better bc he is playing now is ridiculous. Its a different school and system. If they were both on the same team, then yes you would have a point. didnt Bamas other freshmen RB whose 4-5th string play against N texas?? Does that mean hes better than Ford? A lot of Freshmen RBs play the first year, and a lot Redshirt. Does that mean the ones who play are more talented??? NO you dumbasses. They play bc of the situation and system. Happens every year.

Yea true and it is not like you could have played him in a mop up roll. There has not been one.


So you would play all the freshmen you can to gain exp in MOP UP DUTY and waste Redshirts and eligibility down the road. I understand playing freshmen if you plan on using them already this year, but dont waste redshirts you didnt plan on using anyway just for Mop up duty. Thats dumb as frick

Alabama puts the best players on the field regardless of what year they are currently in, it's whoever gives them the best chance to win. 5 star RBs like Ford are not supposed to redshirt, unless they are way overrated and don't deserve that high of a ranking.

McCaleb didnt get half as many carrys as he usually did. WVU sold out against the run and so Auburn went to the air and this left McCaleb out of the conversation. How many more yards and TD's does TR have than McCaleb?

What left McCaleb out of the conversation was the fact that he wasn't hyped up by this board before the season started like Ford was. It wasn't a slight to McCaleb, more like a slap in the face to LSU fans.

So you already determine that Richardson is a better RB then Ford without ever seeing Ford play. Bama fans are entertaining...really.

Here's some truth for you:

6. Getting offensive: LSU’s offensive numbers have been pretty pedestrian, and that’s being kind. The Tigers are last in the SEC in total offense, 10th in rushing offense and ninth in passing offense. They’ve just sort of gotten by to this point. None of their running backs have rushed for 100 yards in a game. Quarterback Jordan Jefferson has thrown five touchdown passes and just one interception, but he’s yet to throw for more than 172 yards in a game. It’s been a little bit here and a little bit there heading into Saturday’s game at Mississippi State. The Tigers are due for a breakout game on offense.

NO!!! Not even close. Reggie Bush redshirted his freshmen year. Justin Vincent was in Bushs class and played his first year. Who was more talented???? BUSH!

Alabamas upper classman arent as talented as LSU. LSU has had top 5-10 recruiting classes since 02. Thats why LSU redshirts most freshmen and Bama has been playing there freshmen the past 2 years.

Thatst the dumbest statement ive ever heard. once again Reggie Bush, maybe you heard of him!

Shawn alexander, 5 star RB, still holds many All TIME PREP football records, was redshirted his freshmen year at Alabama. isnt he one of the best RBs Bama has ever had, and wasnt he the NFL MVP one year??? Just something to think about before you keep making yourself sound like a complete nut job

This argument is stupid as frick. Just bc a player is a 5 star RB doesnt mean they have to play right away. Some play the first year, MOST dont. Mainly bc they go to schools that have recruited 5 star RBs in the past, those RB are still playing, just as talented and have more exp.
