I would take TR but I don't know if we could afford him

Holy shite this gets brought up all the time. Trent doesn't carry the ball 25 times a game. If you add Lacy's numbers to Trent's they blow away anything LSU can produce. That being said Alabama HAS TO rush for that many yards to beat LSU. LSU doesn't have to light it up on the ground to win. But this Alabama vs LSU running game and Trent vs stable is stupid.

he gives you the breakaway threat that LSU doesn't have
and Ford for LSU is a breakaway threat, he has the speed to do so, just hasn't gotten the opportunity in LSU's run by committee offense.

Richardson is the standout for y'all and that's it, Lacy has come on for y'all because he has gotten opportunities, but he is not another Richardson. I would take LSU's stable of backs over y'alls anytime because after Richardson there is a dropoff, LSU has talent galore. Hilliard once he gets opportunities will be a stud.

I'm confused now. We talking about for this game? This year? We taking age into consideration?

you got me confused now.

I have to agree, at least to a certain extent. Should something happen to TR, even minor, early, the entire complexion of the game would change. Lacy may be the medicine, but that's unsure. LSU does not hav to get 215 yards on the ground to beat bama - if we get 180 yards rushing and 180 yards passing, that's probably enough - IF we have at least contained the Bama runners (TR particularly). If we get less than 180 yards rushing, it means we've passed the ball way more than we have been.
That won't necessarily be a bad sign for us. If Bama has to throw because they cannot run, it does not bode well for Bama's chances.
I think that's what you're saying, and I agree with it. Bama's not a 1-man team, by any stretch - it's just the offense is primarly driven by TR.

I'm not sure you understand anything at all. No one is saying TR is not better than ware at this point. All I'm saying is ware is just getting started and we switch backs all game long. I'm simply saying they are similar. Both are beasts who are hard to bring down. Both punish defenses. Difference is ones older ones younger and the types of play calling. Sure TR has better stats and rightfully so but then again playing teams like you've played id hope his stats would be high considering his talent. Let's see what he does against a defensive line as good as ours. Hell let's say the same for Ware. Nov 5th can't come soon enough.
and im not sure you understand the question. All that shite you just typed is fine and dandy; bottom Trent Richardson is the best back in college football. Anyone that doesn't take him for 1 game is just being a homer.

It's one of those silly hypothetical questions..
An elite talent for one huge game.. or a stable of talented RBs for a full season.

I haven't read through all the responses, but the better question to ask for the game this year is would you rather have 2 senior qb's with a shite ton of big game experience and have the ability to hit the deep pass, or AJ McCarron?
Option A, please.
Option A, please.

I will take Ware and hillard over all of bamas backs. Don't understand theIr like status TR gets. He might be the best but so might Ware or Hillard. Either way it is close.

Of course theres a dropoff after Richardson....he's the best in college football. You dismiss the fact that the guy behind him gets 8 YPC, and the 3rd guy gets 6. You act like having a standout talent like Richardson makes the guys behind him weak by default.

I'm not being a homer at all. Id take Ware and the boys over TR. Period. You have your view I have mine. I personally think when its said and done Ware will be the better back. My beliefs my choice. TR is great but I think Ware is just ad good and the added support don't hurt.
Posted on 10/27/11 at 4:18 pm to Mxylplyx
its not hard to get 8 and 6 ypc when your running in the 4th after the best back in the nation has physically and mentally destroyed the defense.
That said I don't think Lacy and Fowler (isnt that the name of yalls 3rd guy?) are bad backs. I just dont think they are as good as our 2nd and 3rd guys.
What I've been trying to say this whole thread is that with TR yall have a significant shot at beating us. (I dont think you will but it is very very possible) Without TR I don't think you could. We could lose SW and still beat you IMO. I would rather my offense not rely on a single player no matter how dominant he is.

Ware is averaging 4.0 YPC
Richardson 6.6
they aren't on the same planet. Richardson will be a top 10-15 pick in the NFL. Who knows about Ware. Mid round at this point

I agree we have absolutely no one in the same league as TR at the moment. Maybe Ware will be in the future or maybe not who knows, but right now no one is in TR's league.
