Kiffin not sold on diminutive but productive McNeal

When injuries hit teams usually have to dig deep into the depth chart. By this time of the year inuries normally start piling up. Just deal with it.

Well if you know something about his durability then spill it. Otherwise let him play.

Yeah, I agree!! Why is this even an issue?? The Trojans have other good backup running backs, McNeal can touch the ball 15 to 20 times a game!!!!!!

Lattimore the best RB in the nation, if he could stay healthy. As it is, I'm still going with Trent Richardson.

Oh brother. Nation is a stretch but yeah, you can give it to TR as a default option.

Bah, gotta give Hillman some props on this thread-he is certainly the best RB in the state of CA and he runs behind a fairly pedestrian O-line.

Good point AP. Put some of the lesser known RBs behind o-lines like Bama, LSU, Wisky, etc and watch some of those guys take off. They'll get to run behind better lines in the pros.

UGA will prob win the East now, being their schedule is easier.

I sure hope so, that way it would make Boise State look pretty damn good, huh???? LOL.

Hats off to U$C.....I for one thought this year would be a train wreck for them. They are a lot like Auburn and refuse to fall back to earth as hard as everyone thought they would.

IMO, the sanctions will really start hurting them in the next 2-3 yrs, but they have excelled beyond expectations this year.

WPS, I don't really believe USC is all that good this year!!!! Yes they are decent, but I still think they will lose two to three more games this year. I guess a 9-4 record would result in a pretty good year.

Thanks. Of course the filp side of the argument is that SDSU runs on a few easier teams than TR and Lattimore do-although some of the warm up teams the big teams play in SEP are easier than tSUN and WSU were this year for SDSU.

At the end of the season it will all even out. IMHO TR is the best RB this year that I have seen though.

Hillman was one that came to mind for me as well. Some guys don't get the touches or don't run behind an nfl ready line. Crowell is no slouch, Whaley, even, as much as it pains me to say so, Michael with the ags is very good.

Next year the Texas running game may be close to the best in the nation... If the O-line comes together your QB/RB combo may be next to impossible for most teams to stop.

LK is holding the team back. With the NFL talent on this year's team they should at most lose two games...

He may be a great recruiter, but in game he does not measure up to the best of his peers.
