It's gonna depend on how he does in the first half of our 2 cupcakes, I think. If he can tag 100+ rushing yards in those games he'll get close to 1.2k total yards. I don't really care about his totals.. I'd like to see Ford and Ware carry the rock next week.
and it was back when athletes actually went to class, and their brains hurt from it, so they played like les miles coaches
Had to laugh a bit at that. You must have short-term memory. (no offense--I'm just playing with you). It's not THAT long ago that we had Joseph Addai and Jacob Hester. But you're right. Ridley is starting to be that dependable back like Addai and Hester where before him and the type that Charles Scott was in '08. But, no, Ridley's not the best back LSU has had in a long time.... he's the NEXT great back in a LINE of LSU running backs. :wave:
Addai ..yes. Hester .. he was a great play maker, but he didn't have the flare of a tailback. He was a dependable 3-4 yards at a time, and if you needed a 1 yard, he was a sure thing. Hester was fun to watch because you knew he'd come through i the clutch. I was never impressed with Charles Scott. He had great stats, but he reminded me of a Brodrick Green ... to easy to bring down and not real good at reading the opening. If you needed a yard or two, he never seemed to come through. Of course, that's just my opinion ... and we know ...opinions are like a$$ holes ... everyone has one!:hihi: Ridley, IMO, is fun to watch. He makes extra efforts, and reads the openings well. He seems to have confidence about him. :geaux:
