I love when people want to take plays out of stats to manipulate them. Let's take everyone's stats against Towson away, because it was just Towson after all.

He had over 100 carries in his LSU career. He averaged 6.9 yards a carry. If you want to take out the Towson carry, he still averaged 6.2 yards

Exactly!!!! But that's a PERFECT example of how sunshine pumping positigers justify Miles' past and continued success at LSU and utilize such skewed statistics to support their argument! What ashame!!!
Not to take away from what Russell Sheppard did do for LSU. He was a great ambassador, and an even better recruiter for LSU, and for that RS, I for one am forever grateful!!

Thanks for the sanity. RS had ZERO besides speed, and his speed didn't show up that great on the field. I don't ever recall him getting yac unless they were easy yards. I never remember him faking anyone out the way OBJ sometimes does. A few times in his career - probably when the coaches saw a defensive misalignment or tendency - Shep took a jet sweep and ran around the end untouched for big yardage. That's credit to the team not the ball carrier. It's not like when Hill takes what should be a five yard carry, trucks a safety, then can't be caught by other DBs - that's credit to the back. Bottom line: I never saw Shep gain yards at LSU that we wouldn't have gained without him. Plug in OBJ on the jet sweeps - same results. Plug in anyone on his pass receptions - same results (maybe better).

All the carries count though.
4.4 ypc isn't bad at all. 4.4 plus one for 78 is dandy, I'll take it all day.

He averaged over 7 ypc over his career at LSU. Explain that away. Why do you Miles fanatics do this to the poor guy?
