🏈 Another fun fact.

[Argo]

Richardson/Lacy -- 207 carries 1454 yds 22 td
Ware/Ford -- 207 carries 953 yds 12 td

Didn't realize they had the same number of carries. That's probably because Ware/Ford have 500 less yards though.

All I've heard is how good their RBs are, but based on those stats they're not.

You are a fool if you base everything on stats.

Trent Richardson has gained 513 of his 989 yards (51.9 percent) after contact, per ESPNStatsInfo.

[Argo]

So Richardson has more yards after contact than any LSU running back has total rushing yards?

Fool? ElephantStomp's a fool? Them's fightin' words, stranger.:no-no:

You are a fool if you base everything on stats.

When you are comparing and previewing a game that hasn't been played. Exactly what do you base it on??

 

[ktdawson]

That's not everything, but those numbers don't lie, that's for sure. I would say Bama has the better running backs.

Maybe so, but LSU does spread the ball around more.

I would say Bama has the better running backs.

I would say Trent is better, but Ware and Ford are right behind and as good as anyone else Bama has.

 

[Argo]

Only because Jordan Jefferson has 20+ carries.

I would say Trent is better, but Ware and Ford are right behind and as good as anyone else Bama has.

Richardson > Ware
Lacy > Ford
Fowler > Blue
Sims = Hilliard

For the most part, I base my comparisons on fictitious information that I dream or spiritual palm readings.

Here's some more "fun facts" as we go about breaking down this game that can't come fast enough.

LSU # 6 Nationally, but only #62 in punt returns.

Bama #19 in punt returns, but only #71 in net punting.

Turnover margin--LSU #2, Bama #19

With all the ins and outs of the statistical debates, the game could turn on Turnovers or a special teams play...but what else is new?

Wow, me too! But down here in the land of "Swamp People", I tend to read the gator's eyes by moonlight while he chomps on a voodoo zombie, then mix the results in with the way the rice and shrimp fall in the bottom of my bowl of gumbo.

I find it more accurate that way...:lol:

You're a fool anyway. If you say you don't track stats, you're a liar too.

And by the way, in case you didn't catch it earlier...We're going to maul ya'll. 33-12.

IF LSU beats Alabama, it will be in the kick game. I have no doubt about it. LSU is excellent where Alabama is below average. If it's a close game, I think LSU has the edge because of their ability to flip the field with punting.

 

[jdpas29]

Ware is a great running back... the rest of them are decent but nothing to write home about. Ware runs in a style very similar to Eddie Lacy with a similar build.

 

[It Takes Eleven]

Just a heads up, everyone - now that the "occupy" movements are being dispersed, prepare for the LSU fans to return to their moms' basements and commence posting.

Another interesting fact.... In recent years the visiting team has won this game more times.

Which makes me think of some funny statistic quotes:
