Even if Ridley stays, Spencer Ware is the future of LSU football.

I know i might catch a lot of crap about this from the die hard Ridley fans... especially people like Matt Mascona who swore that there were times where HE WAS OUR OFFENSE. Ridley is a great running back, but that was a true freshman 5 star running back doing things that Ridley simply can't do. M. Ford although inconsistent also shows the ability to do things Ridley can't do. I think Ridley should go pro, because Spencer Ware is going to be the most exciting running back at LSU since Kevin Faulk.

Ridley did it most of the year with no throwing game. If JJ had thrown the rest of the year like he did on Friday, how great of a season does Ridley have? They are both great, but think of what Ridley did with an atrocious throwing game.

You can never have enough RBs..injury bug bites..and besides they are all of differing style and strength..makes for a great and balanced stable.

There is one thing watching a Les Miles/Crowton offense has taught me. As soon as a player gets hot he often disappears and stops getting the ball. I have to see a few more games to believe Les is gonna feed Ware. Also Texas A&M did not tackle like an SEC defense.

Ridley should be the starter. He's way too consistent not to; however, Ware should get his share of carries as well as Ford. They all have different aspects to bring to the gridiron.

Ware is clearly better than Ridley and Ford is a great speedster that compliments either. You are right.

Oh frick sounds like Ford is brewing to be Keiland v2.0. Rantards will be crying that he isn't getting enough touches.

Agreed Spencer Ware and Mettenberger will be a wicked lil combo.

There is no such thing as too many good running backs in football.

Who give a shite? they will all share carries next year... book it
