I would say Durham was pretty awesome his freshman year in 2024. He’s definitely fallen off since then though.

Berry has talent but he is not what he was hyped to be

He may need to drop down a level to put out some good tape in hopes to get drafted.

They both have terrible vision and go down when you blow on them. Not going to work in a Kiffin offense who likes power backs. He tried to get Berry in yesterday and what happened? He killed a drive. He gave him that entire drive and he basically did nothing with the 1s while Jones was consistently gashing them.

so he ran 8.4 yards a carry because tiger stadium fans left? Dumbass

He never gets a chance to play so when he finally does he dominated.

He came in earlier in the game and they gave him an entire drive solely to himself. He contributed to stalling the drive and them punting. Didn't see him again until TAMU gave up and put some second string in as well.

They aren’t as good as Dillon Jones. My guess is if Berry and Durham choose to leave LSU Lane wont beg them to stay.

We're trying to explain football to a moron. Might as well bang our heads against a wall.

Yes, and Lane Kiffin is starting a less capable back in Jones why? Whatever the reason Lane thinks we have a better chance of executing and winning with Jones than Berry.

He also needs RBs who can run between the tackles and who can block. Both of which Berry hasn't proven he can do. As someone above said, LSU runs fast tempo. If you're running fast tempos you can't slide a guy in who can't do his job so they need well rounded players. He wants in more he needs to learn to block and prove he can power it between the tackles.

According to Ohana’s logic Rashaad Penny was a better running back than Barry Sanders because Penny averaged 5.6 yards per carry and Sanders only averaged 5.0. Forget about any other factors. Volume of carries, the time of the game a RB gets carries, etc. nothing matters but yards per carry, lol.

Why did Durham come back? Didn't he enter the transfer portal? Lack of interest from other buyers?

Because there’s more to playing running back than just running or how long you’ve been on the team.

If Watki
.ns is going to miss time I'd like to see Berry get some 9f those little drag screens where Watkins was picking up 3 OL ten yards downfield

Harlem missed a couple assignments when he got his chance earlier in the game, but he redeemed himself with some nice runs later in the game.



This, early in the game he went down on his 1 run play pretty easily on first contact which was avoidable, wasnt a good run. Then the next play he was supposed to block for Leavitt and didn't and was taken out the game promptly for the next few quarters. Leavitt was pissed at him.

Came back later on and ran with much more purpose.
