That's what's to love about LSU's depth at RB. If one goes down or has a bad day, another one will step up and take his place.

It seems like Saban is running TR more to try and get his Heisman numbers up. It might end up biting Bama in the butt if TR gets hurt and doesn't have a consistent back up to take his place.

I think this is why Les has been getting Magee some carries the last two weeks.

You can debate Blue vs Ford and all you want, but we've got 4 backs that can play. Getting all of them some time will only work to our advantage.

Are those last 6 or so carries after toting it 20 times going to make Ware better? Probably not.
Are those last 6 or so carries going to help Magee, Ware, or Ford? Probably so.

BUT, this will really be to our advantage later in the season when guys like TR are feeling the weight of all those carries


TR has 115 carries.

SW has 105 carries.

I'm sure TR is really, really feeling the weight of those 10 extra carries in 6 games. He almost has to carry it two more times per game that SW. Not sure if his back can handle that extra load.

I think the person who loses in all of this is Ford. It's great seeing the young guys preparing for next year, but there is still half the season left to play.

I really hope Ford gets some more carries. Fumbles be damned. He still has the most TD's, and was a weapon early on.

It is funny to hear delusional fans from other schools. They have tunnel vision.


It is especially bad with Bama fans. They can't fathom another school in the country with a better team than them. November 5th cannot get here fast enough.

Oh really? That being..


Oregon
WVU

Let's look at what 'bama has so far

Penn St
Arky
Fla


Common opponent thus far: Florida (it's a wash)

(9)Oregon > (10)Arky
(13)WVU > (not ranked)Penn St.

Oregon and WVU's only loss to date: to LSU

Bama has played Kent St. and N. Texas (please)

LSU has played Northwestern


It's easy to pad your numbers against foes such as Kent St. and N. Texas.

Miss St. and UK aren't having great seasons but I'd be willing to bet they would beat Kent St., N. Texas and Northwestern.

Back on topic:


I love the way SW runs. Reminds me of Hester and the way he would barrel over people, scratch and claw for as many yards as possible. All the pops he gives defenses "wares" them down throughout the game.

TR is a great back, but realistically he's all 'bama really has. And he can bring the lumber just as well. The drop off after him is much larger than what LSU has. With Ford/Blue/Magee giving Ware a breather - there is no breather for opposing defenses.

All things being equal defensively - 'bama's could wear down much faster and LSU's D-line has more depth and talent.

ford will get more carries i think it is good that Les put him in the dog house for a couple of games it shows the players that turning the ball over will not be tollerated our turnover ratio is one of the most impresive statistics in a really impressive season so far

Wrong again. Calling a spade a spade doesn't mean any nerve was struck. Keep trollin.

Didn't you say you were leaving a couple pages ago? I guess it was just another time you were wrong.

Do yourself a favor, do what you said you were going to do long ago and leave. Cause you are embarrassing yourself. You make Ducksflyinpac seem like a genius.
