re: Which will be a better tandem? Yeldon and (insert RB here) or Blue and Hill?

From the USCe game on, that oline was pretty damn good.

Well, except for their complete and total failure at pass blocking in the Clemson game. We allowed 8 sacks. E-I-G-H-T sacks.

Am I the only one who really isn't impressed with Marshall? Yes he is a good compliment to Gurley, but he just never really impressed me. Gurley on the other hand is a man, the kid just looks freaking huge even from the stands. He runs like a freaking mack truck.

but would anyone like to argue me that Ingram is still a significantly better RB than Ridley as it was perceived in 2010?

They don't have an argument. Ridley >>> Ingram.

Is A&M the new little brother begging to be taken seriously?

I think it'll look like this coming into the V-Tech game: (as compared to the '09 chart)

Yeldon = Ingram
Fowler = Upchurch
Henry = Richardson
Drake = Grant

Oh, and I think one of the Tenpenny/Kamara is gone by next spring.

Thread summed up:the SEC has a ridiculous amount of talent at the running back position

Yeldon is the best RB out of hill and blue. Just more complete back. Might not have the power of Hill, but he is better in space and out of the backfield and more power than Blue. Actually, if you take Hll and Blue and make them 1 RB you would have Yeldon. Kids a stud. But, so is Hill. Just different kind of backs.

And I agree that LSU fans each year always say Ware is the next stud or Hilliard or whatever. I was never a big Kenny fan because of a few reasons and last year proved me right. He's soft. Biggest RB on the team, but avoids contact the most and never delivers a hit. Also way too slow in the open field. That said, Hill is different. 6'2 230 that can run away from people and delivers the hit, doesn't take it like Hilliard. Hill is our most talented RB in a long time. I like Blue a lot and want him to get carries, but I don't want a 50/50 split. Hill should get 18 and Blue get 8-12. Hilliard should just move to FB, but doubt he can block.

And as far as the TAMU-LSU game last year, we got to Manziel TAMU people. And you say the turnovers were mistakes from TAMU rather than plays made by LSU. Coming from an offensive heavy conference to the SEC, I'd probably say the same thing. But, defenses is what wins in the SEC. After LSU played Oregon, they said the same thing. It was mistakes by them and not plays made by LSU. The only one that could be classified as a "mistake" would be the tipped ball that turned into an int. But, maybe that WR got drilled earlier in the game and had that in the back of his head when he went across the middle? Manziel did throw a freaking bullet and the route was a little slant. Wrong ball in that situation. The fumble by Malena was a strip by Martin. Manziel had 2 bad throws because he was under pressure and resulted in 2 into. Manziel had his worst game of the season rushing and had his 2nd worst passer rating. We got to him. Next year could be different though.

Best RBs in the SEC next year:
Yeldon
Gurley( only ahead of Hill because he's in the east)
Hill
The rest
