Dude Keiland has not done enough to even warrant the starting RB job at LSU.
Yeh he came on later on in the year when LSU was the hottest team in the country....Don't forget though the number 1 pick in the draft, two first Round WR's and Early doucet can soften up a defene don't ya think
Outside definitely yes Keiland is a fricking stud...
Not many 6'0 225 RB's that run 4.4's. But he has to learn to run between the tackles and use his vision or he will be nothing more than a role player.
Only 7 carries in the last two games of the year last year. The two most important games of the year...playing for a championship only 7 carries
This stat would motivate me a shite load if I was Keiland Williams.

damn, i didn't know reggie bush was a role player in college.
you forgetting we didnt need williams to run between the tackles, we had scott and hester for that.
williams has his style that is different from the others.
and overrated, if he is overratted, i would hate to see your criteria for a college running back.
and the run against virgina tech last year was one of the best and most exciting runs that i have witnessed in person and rivals bush run against fresno st. in his heisman year.

Williams was so good last year that he ran the ball 2 times in the national championship game....Dude has shown flashes but is very very inconsistent.

Reggie Bush's most memorable runs came from gettin the ball up the middle and making a cut to the outside after getting past the front 7
Wrong we did need Williams to run between the tackles..he just couldn't do it.
His style may be different than others but if he wants to play in the league he better run between the tackles
He's overrated, but only thought of as an outstanding player by LSU fans.
The run against Va Tech was great but the run against Tennessee was fricking terrible...Running backwards for a 15 yard loss when your starting QB isn't even playing is not good for your offense.
Posted on 7/8/08 at 7:54 pm to fearthehat
"The backfield" is only one part of the running game, but you asked about the backfield. As far as combination of able running backs, top notch wide receivers, and stud offensive line, I'd say LSU's combination is as good as any. If the QB can keep his head under fire, we'll have no worries on offense, and should be as good as anybody.

honest question?"

no, most of williams run calls were to the outside, again scott and hester ran it up the middle

wow pull one run out of 200, where there was no hole, yea he should have just went down, but he was trying to make something out of nothing

guess what this is not about playing in the nfl, this is about being a college running back and he is far from overrated for a college running back

yep and i bet you the same person that believes flynn was a better qb then jamarcus and that hester is a better back then keiland.

No JaMarcus is definitely better than Flynn, and Hester was head and shoulders better than Williams.
Again Williams had 2 carries in the National Title game.
As for the quote you made "wow you pulled one run out of 200" well so did you didn't you ?
Look I'm not saying that Williams isn't a good player...he's just not All conference material right now. There are plenty of backs better than him right now, maybe even two on his own team.

If we are talking strictly RBs, I'd say Clemson perhaps. USC has LSU-esque depth, but they are all so even that no one ever really breaks through. Plus, too many of their RBs are two position possibilities (Bradford, Gable, Tyler).
Not UGA. Moreno was fantastic last year, but I won't buy into the Moreno/King hype until I see them perform this year. Remember Danny Ware? Kregg Lumpkin? Thomas Brown? All these guys looked fantastic, but fell to mediocrity or just solid guys.
OU? Seriously?

and you could be right because i believe murphy is a stud, but scott, murphy, and williams if they healthy could be 1st round picks. williams most likely will when he runs his forty.

not even close and i love what hester did for us last year and his career and the fact he only fumbled twice(lost one)his entire career, but on pure running back talent hester isnt even close to williams.

UGA - SFP is right, King is very good but similar player to Moreno (maybe faster)
SFP is banking on King's talent. UGA has had a lot of talented backs who have never lived up to it. They're the 2nd best in the SEC behind LSU.

They're ahead of OU, but A&M's RBs won't be able to showcase their talents with such a one dementional offense.

wat r u talkin bout dude? HESTER AND SCOTT WERE OUR POWER BACKS!! y did we need him to run b/w the tackles?! wen you split carries with two power backs i dont think the change of pace your looking for when u bring him in is another b/w the tackles runner.

i guess having a seven yard average isnt good enough

i hate people who say this. the dude was a sophmore, our second most dependable back. how could u possibly hate on this guy. the one thing he has had problems with: fumbles, u havent even mentioned. he's GOING to be a stud! in college and the NFL. im not saying he was last year, but there certainly aint a reason to hate on him as hard as you have

"One player who's a great talent playing against a bunch of lardasses. What if Beanie gets hurt? They're fricked."
Sophomore Brandon Siane is a beast and fast as hell. he will take over no problem when Beanie is gone. Only problem is that Mo Wells gets more caries because he is an upper class man (even though he sucks) but I think that will change this year.
