Stevan Ridley

Any chance this guy get playing time in a game that matters?

I don't think so.

However, barring another injury, I think he's our main ball carrier next year.

I wish Les would let Scott play FB and Ridley or Williams to play RB.

He is a B-E-A-S-T!
Reminded me of Cecil the Deisel too!

but this guy reminds me of Cecil Collins when he runs.

people only say this because he wears #34

He looks to be a good back but he has only produced in blowout wins against the other teams reserves.

Nobody will ever remind me of Cecil Collins until they rush for over 200 yrds against a very good SEC defense. I know u are talking about his style but that player has to produce when it counts to even be mentioned in the same breath with Cecil. And no I don't think Cecil is the best rb LSU has had. JMO

His resemblance to Cecil Collins has nothing to do with the number he wears. It has to do with how he runs. He is fast, he delivers a blow to the defenders when he is tackled, he is elusive, he can hit a hole at full speed and he runs angry.

I never said, nor did anyone else in this thread, that he is better than Cecil Collins. I just said that his running style is similar.

Reminds me of Hester. He should be playing now if Miles wasn't so stuborn. He sees the small holes better than Scott and KW.

You can tell this by watching the last drive of the Tulane game? Or, was it by watching the last drive of last year's Tulane game?

Or, perhaps are you talking out of your arse?

I also doubt he plays. But, if you take a good look at his runs and Chuck's, never mind against what team, you will notice that SR hits the hole very quickly. His acceleration 'appears' (imho) better than Chuck's. The OL has had difficulty opening holes and when they do, holding the block. For this reason alone I believe that Ridley should see some reps with the first team. Give Scott a breather in the third period and turn him loose in the fourth when he is at his best. I guarantee you Ridley will not be a detriment to the team if he sees meaningful reps.
