Seastrunk a RB or WR in college?
Pelini sucked in the game-yes
Flynn did too- yes
Keiland got replaced by Murphy after 1 carry because the ball bounced out after he was down even though the refs ruled him down correctly-yes
But there is still no excuse ever to bench someone that is running like a wild man for the entire 2nd half (save 1 carry). Hester was limping and got 61 yards on 18 carries. No excuse, who cares if they're selling out on the run. No excuse not to give KW zero touches in the 2nd half after he makes the only big play for your team in the 1st half vs Auburn.
Mies gets caught up in not wanting his bench players to outshine his little pets and its detrimental to the team.
yea hester did the job against florida and alabama but not at all against auburn. totally agree about KW in the second half.

ridley gets the scott carries (aka most of them)
I'm far from convinced of that
he was 4th string before he blew out his knee ..lets see how fast and durable he is now before you annoint him as the workhorse
he could turn out to be another Ally - a big back who is no factor any more after being slowed by a knee

It fits almost every coach though. How many times have we been scratching our heads at Sean Payton's gameplans, for example? Running Reggie Bush into the line when Pierre Thomas is having much more success.

ford/lache get the ridley/murphy carries
We will see dude. Saying Lache will get the Murphy carries, then yes, Miles should be shot if that happens. I don't see that happening though. Lache is about two levels of talent ahead of Murphy.

I would think this thread was a joke in the likes of trindon to pass rushing DE, but everyone seems serious. So let me just make sure we are all clear. Are you really asking if the consensus #1 RB prospect in the country would be better suited playing another position?

4th string...with 2 guys ahead of him leaving this year
ridley got the carries the primary back in our offense gets
murphy's always gotten the carries of the seldom used speed back/backup RB

no, its specific to our offense and how he would be/hopefully be used.

maybe because we haven't had that "speed back" who was worth starting over the guy we had with power
Keiland started the second half of the year as a true frosh... then fumblitis hit and the reliable Hester played (and wound up leading s to a National Title and became a 2nd Round draft pick)
Then Chuck Scott won the job over our speed backs and made All SEC
The best back has always played

some believe that had Hester not gotten hurt he would have gotten that first down or at least gotten close... an immature Scott ran into the pile with his head down and met the LB directly without trying to misdirect the contact to carry his momentum forward to get the first
i love how you can disect the one bad run Scott had on a short yardage play where Lyle Hitt does a matador then just throw out the window entirely Hester's entire shitty day because of Pelini and Flynn. And of course hester getting 2 yards total on 2nd and 3rd downs of that drive in overtime can be washed away also.

I think if Keiland was labeled "the guy" and given the rock 20+ times a game he'd be a special back.
He made the wrong decision in coming to LSU. Heck, to be honest, I don't know why any top back would come to LSU.

started, maybe. The hot hand gets benched for pissing off the starter.

no different than how you think not playing Scott was the only reason we lost that game
if you are #1 in the country and go to UK and cannot win comfortably with your starting RB in the game (or any RB in the game) then you have many more major issues aside from your backup RB not getting more carries
remember, UK's 3rd string RB ran all over us that day.. the kid's name is Derrick Locke and he's STILL a backup on their depth chart
so don't pin it all on being as easy as Scott playing more... Scott had his chance to prolong the game and didn't get it done

maybe the coaches saw what I did - that Keiland shows up some games and doesn't some others. Maybe it's the Vegan in him, who knows...he also shys from contact more than fight for the extra yards

i never pinned it all on that. you are the one pinning none of it on that. Sure, running backs dont matter at all if Pelini sucks or you show up unmotivated as #1. Gotcha.
I'm still missing how other things going wrong with his team completely absolve Miles/Porter from shitty usage of the RBs.
