How awesome is it that we can even have this debate?


dont get me wrong, our running game was solid last year, but a few of the guys were disappointments. I think we are having this discussion because no one has stood out, when in fact all 4 or 5 of the guys have the talent to stand out.

Is it a good thing, or a bad thing? 2012 will tell.


I thought last year Blue was our best RB. Ware definitely needs to get in shape, as does Hilliard.

Not sure if serious??

Who in LSU's backfield is a dissappointment??

Hilliard needs to get in shape?? By who's standards is Hilliard out of shape?

I think everyone would agree that we are having this debate because we have 5 horses in the backfield that could start at just about any other school in the country.

Blue looks good but he has gotten a lot of garbage big runs to make his YPC look nice.

Ware was a yard and a half less per carry than the next of the big 4 backs. Pretty sad that he is the starter.

I think 2011 already told, and the answer is that it's a good thing.

Remember, "standing out" is always relative. One guy can "stand out" because he is among munchkins, while another can stand just as tall and be lost in a crowd if he's surrounded by giants.

Put another way, if you have 5 Trent Richardson's on a team, none of them will be "good enough" to stand out. But you've still got one hell of a sweet RB situation.

*NOTE* That was just an example, a hypothetical; I was *NOT* suggesting that we have 5 Trent Richardson's on our team this year.
