sure, it's middle of the pack in cfb, but only 5 running backs had 200 carries in the SEC last year, and only 2 of them had more rushing yards than ridley or scott did.



good point.

I'd be curious to see just how many LSU running backs make it the the NFL... off the top of my head, it seems like the majority of the backs who get even limited playing time at LSU make it to the NFL for at least a season, if not more. I'd say that's far more of a pro than a con. LSU tends to be a good school for running backs.

since 2005, counting practice squad players, addai, vincent, williams, scott, hester, holliday, ridley, and murphy have all played in the nfl. alley broussard would have been another but he never was the same again after getting hurt. honestly, i think broussard may have been the most talented back to ever play at lsu. so lsu has put 8 backs in the nfl since 2005, and ford and ware's status is TBD
