    I know it is early, but who handles the load next year.
    Is Addia the guy, Vincent ???
    I was impressed with Addia, and was suprised he did not get more carries later in the season but I will trust Saban on that one.
    What about Carey ?? (Although I believe he some fumbleitis in him)

    I am getting pumped about LSU's future. We just need a QB.

    i think Addai all the way, this kid is awesome, he is he epitome of how a tailback should run. when he gets he he ALWAYS keeps his legs moving, which in turn gives him about 2-4 more yards. I'm anxious to see Vincent thouhg. As for QB, i think Mauck is the man. I'm not very big on him, but I think he'll be able to get the job done this year.

    I would like to see one of the big backs we signed be ready to step in and get some playing time also, either Barrington Edwards or Alley Broussard. Hopefully they will both academically quallify, I believe they are both close to qualifing from what I have read, but are not there yet. Addai looked like a good hard runner, but much smaller than Davis or Toefield.

    I think Addai will start with Justin Vincent Backing him up.

    Running backs

    Addai and Vincent should carry the load this year. However, Addai has not shown that he can stay healthy. He was injured in HS and again last year. He has worlds of talent hope he can stay healthy.
    If Broussard gains elgibility, he will be a horse. He has power and speed and has been at his best against good competition.

    well i think we need a better running game, when was the last time one of our backs had over 125 yards rushing?

    Its hard to get a running game going when the oppisition loads the D line . If we can accuratly throw the ball downfeild, the running game will bust open ;)

    I don't think it matters who starts. Whoever comes to the top in this group of running backs is going to be awesome.
