Keiland is better than Scott

I know there is the rant. But I fricking hate the rant. So I want the opinion of the people on here.
LSU's O-line isn't very good this year. Scott was great last year because he would hit the hole and push the pile 3 yards. This year, the aren't that many holes. Scott ran straight into a brick wall 3 or 4 times tonight.
Keiland Williams is great at reading his blockers and finding the holes and hitting them hard and fast. He also has much better feet and change of direction.
This year, with the offensive line LSU has, Williams needs to be getting the majority of the carries. Probably 12-15 a game.

Scott looks like fricking shite this year. No emotion from him it seems unlike last year.

good observation, scott is good when holes are clearly available. KW hits whatever is available and gets what he can.

KW has gotten 17 carries in 2 games, what more do you want??
Posted on 9/13/09 at 12:16 am to BayouBengals03
Scott is better with a fullback in a standard I-formation.
KW is better in formations with no fullback.

I want 15 carries a game.

Seems that Williams and Scott have switched bodies. Williams always ran tentatively from the backfield, and Scott always floored it from the snap. It's been reversed now from what I've seen, an it's especially concerning given that this is Scott's proving year.

Actually, I think LSU should use the I-formation with Scott and fullback and Keiland at tailback. I think this is how the running game would be the most effective. Obviously not every running play, but I would like to see this set 1 or 2 times per drive.

Keiland has a lot of confidence right now, because Miles doesn't hate him anymore. Truth.

agree, unless Quinn JOhnson suits back up for the Tigers.
Johnson was the key to our power running game.

I actually think we ran a triple option play from this set tonight. May be wishful thinking because Scott seemed to be assigned specifically to block rather than be ready for a handoff. If we would just stop running the option to the short side of the fricking field.

Keiland has shown very improved vision this season, and reclaiming his burst from 2006/2007. The guy was a beast, and importantly, showed very improved pass blocking.
Scott is trying to force the play that is called, even if it isn't there. I think he's tentative after his fumble, and trying to make sure he stays in the coaches good graces.
Overall, he's a more traditional running back, while Williams is a more versatile runner. What I'd like to see is 20 carries for Williams and 10-15 for Scott with several for Scott coming with him lined up at FB for KW.

we always do this shite and have done it for years. why not mix it up? i assume they don't trust the play to get up field if they go lateral for too long?

The first touchdown run was out of this set. I called the play, the fake to Scott, pitch to Keiland.
Then later in the game in this set, we gave it to Scott, which I also said we would do.
This set may be predictable, but like you said maybe we could run the option more out of this set or maybe even pass out of it.
But considering the playcalling by Crowton has been terrible, as usual, I wouldn't expect anything different.

scott's draft stock is falling like a rock right now.

That's a lot of carries, but I see what you are getting at.

He could end up being undrafted. He is on the border of just being fat.

I think we just try to run it to Black's side as much as possible, and if it's to the short side of the field, then so be it.
Doesn't make much sense to me. The last thing you want on the option is to be too cramped to effectively pitch the ball.
