re: Is Alfred Blue our most complete back?

some may forget that blue started the 2nd game of the year his true fr year. he has also suffered some minor injuries both seasons at LSU so far so that may also be a factor as to why he is under the radar to some. the fact is alfred blue is a unique rb in our repetoire of solid rbs. i think ware and hilliard will have to split carries because they are the most similar backs, but these guys are going to get a ton of carries. les loves to run it right at you and ware and hilliard have an advantage there. blue is also more of power back than most seem to realize....he is looking to absorb contact. he just so happens to also be our fastest rb. i'm afraid ford will continue to lose out just because of size and blocking ability. ware, hilliard, and blue can handle all situations and all type of sets we can offer.

i can tell you first hand that blue is not a receiver option. he has improved, but he has just never been that good of a receiver. ware is most solid receiving back followed by ford.

don't be surprised to see all this hype coming from blue. he's always been a solid rb and capable of being the best in his class and in the program. those who had seen him play in high school on several occasions knew he was going to find the field.
