Blue seems to be finding the holes better than any other back right now....

I can understand late game carries will allow him to run against a tired defense, but last week we got some carries early and seemed to do very well. Last year, he was the first freshman RB to see playing time. It was his fumbling twice I think that really cost him playing time. All our RB are in a great situation. There not going to be broken up due to carrying the ball 30+ times a game. That takes away a players durability and eventually shortens his professional carry. If Bama and USCe is not careful both of their RB will be injured before the end of the season. Blue gives an excellent change of pace RB and he might be just as good as the two guys in front of him.

ware seems to want to hit the Y button too quick and too often. ford is the best at hitting the hole and running but is in the dog house for fumbling.
blue has done an excellent job every time he gets an opportunity

not so fast. Kentucky.
Although, i will say, he impressed me.
I still think ford is our best back.

Blue looked good Saturday and his TD run at WVU was very impressive. I love our RB depth this year. Just imagine if Ridley had stayed for his senior year

Ware is our best all around back. He needs to be more of a one cut back, though.
Ford is our best back in terms of hitting the hole. Not a euphemism.
Blue is solid, but he doesn't do anything to me that stands out.

I wouldn't go this far. I think Ware and Ford have been a perfect one-two punch. Blue is the insurance policy. If either go down, we won't have much of a drop off.
Blue played really well against Kentucky. But again, it was Kentucky.

Ware and ford didn't find much space versus Kentucky. Nit saying Blue is better but he does seem to be a more patient runner.
To help open up the running lanes more, I'd like to see us go off tackle a little more. I was watching the WVU game and their LBs were toe to toe with their DL. Ford runs off tackle the best. Ware is a bull and Blue is a slash type.

Ware and ford got a combined 13 carries vs. UK.. Blue had 16 by himself. You're really not comparing these three from what Blue did in the Kentucky game are you?

Look at the yards per carry. Again, not saying Blue is any better. I'm just saying that he seems to be finding the hole better.

In 1 game against kentucky, and Ware was hurt and ford got like 5 carries

I thought Magee did an alright job also so it seems we have four and then if you count hilliard potentually have five running backs so If someone goes down we are in pretty good situation.
Like it was said on tv saturday morning any of our top three backs ware, blue, and ford could be #1 running backs on other teams.

Yeah, let's not forget him. Now that the shirt is off, I expect him to get significant snaps.

I like the Blue to J. Addai comparison.

I like blue also, but let's not go comparing him to a 7 year starter in the NFL.

Yeah it was, but they still have SEC athletes on their D. They also have of the best outside linebackers in the country, Danny Trevathan, and a dominant run stopping safety, Winston Guy Jr. Blue started a game last year before Ware or Ford did, not saying he's better, but it does show that the coaches trust him to play

bro i agree. i mean for crying out loud, he's 4 inches taller than the two running backs in front of him. he can see where holes could be developing a lot faster than Ford and Ware. IDK

I'm worried about the Ware spin move against Alabama.
Posted on 10/4/11 at 12:22 am to Toughcrittercrumb1
Blue is only held back because of his ball security problems from last year. Guy has very good vision, nice burst and some very good cutting ability. He's a legit SEC running back assuming he can keep hold of the ball.
