re: Spencer Ware not in the same class as Trent Richardson

According to the stat book, he isnt, Ware's season average is 4.1 Trent 6.3 infact ware hasn't averaged 5 ypc in one game. I guess I will have to say Trent is better.

I looked at Richardson's stats and hype coming into the LSU game last year and it's a repeat again this year. Alot of good games against .....not the LSU Tigers. Comes into the game against us and racks up a whopping 28 yards before getting punished by a defense that isn't as good as the one your witnessing this year.

How do you compare a Soph. with a senior? Two years from now if Ware doesn't go out early because he will be so much better than Richardson in that time, he will be running circles around what Richardson is doing at Bama. What would he be having to say if Ridley was still at LSU running like a bull In the NFL.

There was one important thing he said all night. That was that there was no intensity in the booth.

Richardson is a jr.

I wasn't comparing Ware to Richardson. I was pointing out that richardson had fewer carries (and 28 yards) in LSU game last year because of ingram carries. Plus I think he got hurt in the game too.

Consider the opponents

Nov 5th will determine the better team and the better running game.

Gary is being a little hard on Trent, he's almost as good as Ware.

Richardson is awesome.

Ware is damn good, but he's in a different offense. LSU runs some unbelievably predictable plays (sometimes the same play 3x in a row - straight pitch anyone?).

Bama usually seems to be a lot more creative with their play calling, so that lends itself to bigger gains.

What impresses me about Ware is that teams have stacked the box against him and we've let them know what we're doing and he's still running them over and getting 1st downs. That type of physical play is a huge weapon. If we start mixing up the play calling more, his gains will get bigger and bigger. But what LSU is doing is working right now, so I can't really bitch about it. We could have easily hung 50 on Florida, but we just kept running the same predictable plays. So Florida was lucky in that aspect, but that's about the only way they were lucky.
