Both are listed at 6' 2" about 220.

Both look very similar and seem to have a similar running style.

They both wear #4. (unless Miles messes that up, as we expect, and awards Blue #18).

Is the comparison valid?

I ask especially since the whole CFB world seems to be ga-ga for TJ

Anyone find it funny that you NEVER see them both on the field at the same time? ... Hmmm...

No. They're two different people.

I looked at Blue's highlights and TJ's. I personally think that game-winning catch TD by Yeldon has made his stock rise too high.

I honestly do not agree with you. I don't see why TJ is rated so much better other than the obvious boner for Bama.

Think its the same guy, or a long lost twin brother.

I hate Bama but liked Yeldon from the start. The kid is impressive. At his height, you'd dont expect him to have feet as quick as he does, nor the ability to get low to take on tacklers. He's the real deal if you ask me

Because yeldon is a physical specimen with incredible vision and speed with a variety of moves he can put on defenders

Just my unbiased, purple and gold shades off opinion

Blue is still very much unproven over an entire season.

Yes, his YPC is incredible but he hasn't been asked to carry the load against the big SEC teams yet.

Yeldon is proven and more reliable as of now.

I like Blue a lot but Yeldon is better. He breaks a ton of tackle but is still very elusive and has game breaking speed. on almost every player he needed to be tackle by more than one guy. Also Yeldon is just a pup. He will likely get better. And I think he was better than Lacy also.

I'm not close to yeldon's level. You aren't close to Yeldon's level. The starting running back for LSU is at least close to Yeldon's level.

Do better at using words.

Do better at it.

I think Yeldon is a little harder to bring down, and has a stronger cut. But blue is slightly faster at full stride
