Looks like Spencer Ware isn't quite ready to take...

a backseat in the running back derby. Seems like quite a few folks had already written him off. From the article that Jim Kleinpeter(nola.com) wrote a couple of days ago and the performance he had yesterday(albeit a scrimmage), it appears he's not ready to hand over the reigns to any of the other guys. He's dropped weight and it sounds like he's running hard.
He had some nagging injuries and added weight that took it"s toll late season and luckily we had guys who were ready to step up. It's unreal, just how loaded we are at the running back position.

Nothing was said about Ford. If I'm not mistaken I think he is nicked right now.

Last year it seemed he was looking to hit someone, rather than looking to make someone miss. That paid off late in games as teams got tired of being run over by him, but he'll be a better back if he gets back to looking for the opening rather than someone to run over.

Compared to the other guys that post here, its harder for me to pick a favorite. I really like all of our backs. They each have their own running style.

this is the RB equivalent of JJ "winning" the QB job last year. Miles plays who Miles likes. He loved JJ, he loves Ware. End of story.

I'm trying to find my quote that I wrote about spencer ware a couple months ago. Saying the same things this guy said.
to myself. 
I stated that him playing baseball and football wore him out. You could see it in his play. He got worse and worse every game. Now that he is rested and just playing football he will be back better than ever. People wrote him off to quick. Plus all the great running backs we have they all have to step it up not to get left behind. This could possibly be the best 5 RB tandem ever in the history of college football.Posted on 3/25/12 at 12:06 pm to marcnbc
With Hilliard and Hill, Ware doesn't have to be that big, bruising, every-down back. He's dropped some weight so he can go back to the style we saw against A&M in the bowl game. Options are limitless with this set of RBs.

Hilliard is a lot better, but whatever Miles decides will happen.

I like ware and Hilliard as our 1 2 punch... Ford can be in on passing downs and blue needs to BR moved to WR IMO

Not really a fan of Ware.

Something happened to Ware between the Cotton Bowl and the 2011 season. It was baseball.
It made Chad Jones fat, too.

If I were Saban I'd be mailing this dude Taco Bell gift certificates.
