Has the look and build of Spencer Ware. Regardless of how the recruiting cycle finishes, having Price, Emery and Curry going into next season is stacked. Speed, power, and hands. Each brings something to the table.

I don’t think I have ever seen a back hit the hole harder than Curry did on one play. I sure as shite wouldn’t want to try and tackle him. He shows flashes of endless potential as a beast-mode, every down back.

“Spencer Ware 2.0”

Yes, but does he have the calves of Spencer Ware?

You didn’t see shite last night. Christ on a crutch, all most fans see is yards. Curry had 4 rushes last night. One went for 11 yards through a hole my grandma could have run through if she wasn’t deceased. Nothing impressive at all. The other three runs netted 4 yards. None of them showed anything.
You can't stand for anyone to cheerlead for this team or it's players can you?

Even if one 'didn't see shite', is the fricking end of the world, your world, for someone to cheerlead for a Tiger? How dare someone extrapolate to the postive!!! Now, I bet you a weekend pulling trains on your wife that if someone had spouted off something about he didn't do shite, you'd be all over it. If one is true, not enough evidence to deduce that he didn't do shite, then the same is true that there isn't enough evidence to say he's nothing special. But you only get upset about positive things.

You'll cheerlead negatives all fricking day long.

I bet if I took the time to go through your post history, which I won't, I'll find plenty of instances about you griping about Orgeron throwing players under the bus.

Yall will never ever ever stop hyping this dude up. First it was mini Marshawn then lightning in a bottle.

He will never get meaningful reps over Ty Davis Price, Emery, and Zach Evans.

He looked OK at best. Missed the cutback on one run then he cutback when he had the edge on another. The 11 yard run was impossible to not gain 11 yards on

liked what I saw last night. Personnel was a mixed bag at the time, but Curry seemed to have the potential of being lightning in a bottle. Great turn-of-foot. That is all

He was ok but he runs like a blind man

Silliness

There's PLENTY to cheerlead for without having to stretch

Curry flat missed places twice. And. That's not new. He runs like a blind man.

That's ok. Not everyone can be great.

He did show some nice burst on the 11 yard run, more than I was expecting. Not everyone can be a superstar, if he's patient he can be a great complimentary back like Darrel Williams.

Wondering also why he played before Emery


I think they are trying to keep him from entering the portal. Curry is really more cut out for the old LSU offense rather than this one. We shall see.

I’m extremely excited about the future at the offensive skill positions in this new offense.


CEH has gotten a lot of yards after contact. He has done a lot on his own. It’s nit picking but our run game has not been particularly creative. CEH has just been that good.

He's always shown that.

But, it's just uncanny how "blind" he is. I feel certain that he couldn't miss holes or cutbacks more frequently if you blindfolded him.

And, as others have pointed out, for his size, the man gets basically zero yards after contact because 1, he doesn't seem to really INITIATE contact and 2, his pads are so fricking high, a 150 pound midget could tackle him.

Straight up north and south runner and hits the hole quick. Just don't see him staying if we get Evans.

Uh, no. This is bogus. I evaluate each guy. Go look at my positive post about Brooks. I am realistic. Not negative and not positive.

Watch his second or third run last night. Curry tries to cut back and he has to take like 4 steps to slow down & cut. He is exactly what he is because of that; a RB3/RB4 on a good SEC. He could play very well as a feature back at a lesser school.





I don't always agree with LE, but when I do...it is spot on.

You realize Curry actually got passed up by those 2 Freshmen, and he was behind Fournette too, before he quit the team.

If we sign Evans, there won’t be enough carries for all 4. One of those 4 won’t be here next year. And who will it be?

Not sure I agree with anything you said. But he will be good for someone next year probably.
