He said over-hyped not under-utilized.

I would have to go with Murphy unfortunately.

As for the argument, I don't think any of our players are over rated, MISUSED is what comes to mind.

How can a has-been third string running back at LSU do well in the NFL, we have produced many and not just rb's.

I really hate to say it but I think RS will never amount to much here under this offense. He will make someone very happy at the next level.

This was, by all accounts, a website devoted to his calves during his recruitment.

Bottom line is he never got on the field. For there to be as much talk about him, and for there to be as little production (for one reason or another...I too believe he was under-used), he wins the prize.

Hester's not even close. Murphy's a decent second.

How is Hester an easy target? He was solid in all aspects of the game.

And as it turns out, the pros apparently think more of Hester than Keiland also.

how can you fault a guy that hasn't been healthy ever! if he would have been healthy and still stinking it up, then yeah....

but he showed some promise when healthy, both games...

No more Keiland answers. He was under-utilized, not over hyped. Whenver he got a significant number of carries, he got yards. It just so happened that Porter hated him

KW wasn't under used. He couldn't block. He didn't hit the hole hard. He could hit the home run, but he just couldn't do what he needed to do to get on the field.

Didn't Charles Scott have a better ypc average 3 out of 4 years they played together? Just curious?

Bingo and it's gonna affect our recruiting big time unless less gets off his arse and hires a good OC, recruits QB's and learns how to manage the clock. shite we have a stable of running backs and some barley see the field.
