Eddie George talking about LSU RBs

I was just listening to Eddie and Mark Packer on the XM college football show this morning. An Alabama fan called up, mentioned how much he loved TR, then asked Eddie who were RBs that he enjoyed watching in college football and what he looked for in a great running back.

I was stunned when the first backs he mentioned were "those two at LSU", then he mentioned Lattimore, TR and LaMichael James. He said he thought James was very good and doing things in space is "cute" but what he looks for are those guys that create yardage when there is none. He said he likes to see the "violent" yards, which is why he probably mentioned LSU's backs (especially Ware). He mentioned Lattimore again as one he sees has the ability NOW to play in the NFL because of his knack for yards after hit (which I agree with, I love Lattimore's ability and his attitude).

I don't think Ware and Ford get enough recognition because they don't have the flashy numbers since they are sharing the load so much. BUT, this will really be to our advantage later in the season when guys like TR are feeling the weight of all those carries and our guys are feeling much more fresh. Having Blue just adds to that as well. He's probably just a cut below those two talent wise, but he is a hard runner and worker and great blocker.
