After Vandy, I think we should have a much clearer picture of the RB situation. Either way, I find this to be a strength of the team so far.

Murphy has continuously proven to be a spring game phenom.
he hasnt had the carries to show otherwise. i dont understand why people make it seem like he has had a boat load of carries to show he is not worth at least looking at. and if u look at his APC over the when he did get many carries he avg over 6 yrds a carry. i want to see him b4 i move on to anything

So you think that the running game was ineffective Saturday and needs to change?


Yes, we should be running for 180 a game... take away shep's big run, and it was a subpar running day

You said that the people defending the idea of keep feeding the rock to Ridley was a defense of LSU's coaching woes.

Keeping a back in that is averaging 4.3 YPC is not a "coaching woe"

that is 1 game man, please!

and furthermore, maybe if they had replaced him at the critical point he fumbled, LSU is still in control of the game!

this is college dude. Richardson and Ingram both averaged over 6 yards a carry last year, as have both Kielland and Chuck in years past. In 07 Hester averaged a little less than 5 and CS and KW averaged around 6.5....

4.3 is nice in the NFL... Average in College

So why are you in favor of changing the backs again?

So what YPC average would you like to see, coach? What's the magic number? I mean if running the ball 3 times nets you a 1st down every time then why are you complaining?

Does it need to be a 1st down every 2 plays?

So now they need to know ahead of time when he's going to fumble?

Your hindsight is excellent.

Just admit you'd like to see different players on the field just for the hell of it and not really for any specific strategic reason.

Not last year! Throw in Ridleys touchdown run and he's at 20 for over 100. Considering last years terrible running game not a bad start IMO.

How can you be a "Miles' Homer"? I didn't know I can pull for the "home team" of Les Miles.

You are one confused cookie.

First, I'm a fan not a coach dope. And this is a message board, not a coach's meeting.

Second, like it or not, 4.3 is not a stellar YPC average in college football, and we have always had RB's with a high YPC average here at LSU if you have kept up over the years. I see no reason it shouldn't remain that way, closer to 5 or over 5 would be nice.

the dude is about as smart as a bunch of "Rocks", don't waste your time! He wouldn't get it if it fell on him!

How did Coach Saban cone into this conversation? You could have shut down your rant after that.

Cuz Saban was our last coach, and he would have def benched Ridley after the fumble
