Just asking some of you...this is not complaining or griping about coaching decisions...I just wanna know...

a) Why does Ridley get most of the carries? (not complaining...asking)

b) WHy no Wild Tiger yet? (Anything to do with the schedule so far...and cue the Vanilla comments)

c) When did A. Blue jump to 2nd on the depth chart and why? What is he doing to make this jump? Practice? Maturation? What do not I know about this kid? Admittedly, I know very little.

d) What's up with Richard Murphy and his lack of PT? I remember the majority of the Rant thinking he would be the #1 back this summer and that he would get 10o yard games. Is he done?

e) Michael Ford...what's up there?


I haven't been on the Rant much at all except on weekends, so much of thi sis likely Germans.

I will hang up and lisssen.

Ridley is better in pass protection than the other backs and knows the playbook well per the staff.

Didn't know that. I haven't read postgame recap yet and was at the game. What happened this week to injure him? Maybe I knew this after Vandy and just do not remember...but it'd be great if someone could just tell me.

He's a prototypical Big 10 back.

1 time against Vandy

Apparently after UNC. No one knows why he made the jump because Miles hasn't said shite about it and we can't go to practices.

Hurt against Vandy, but really didn't get shite against UNC either. Ridley is Miles favorite and will receive 5 to 1 minimum to the rest of the backs.

Some say he can't block, but no one knows because he has NEVER been asked to block in a game while at LSU.

when was lead blocking on a play during the vandy game, the player was talked and it kinda landed on him and he strained his hamstring. he didnt practice til thursday so they didnt play him today(he dressed but didnt play). its funny with everyone talking about some of the freshman are better than murphy and should be the #2 back. and with him out no one stepped up 2 show they desrve it i thought that was funny
