Beat Stanford last season. Year before beat USC, Cal and Oregon State who all were pretty highly ranked coming into game

So they've beaten Stanford the last 2 years, a team they are way more talented than. 2 years ago they lost to them, Boise and OSU. Last year they lose to Auburn and this year LSU and USC. If they lose this game that makes them 2-7 against good teams with the only wins against Stanford.

I'm just not sold, every time they play a D that can slow them down a bit or match them on O they lose.

I agree with that assessment. About James, not Musberger. He's a McCluster/Sproles/Spiller. Don't see him being an every down back.

Sproles is the guy that comes to my mind too when I think about James at the next level.

Yeah but his cutting ability reminds me a lot of Jamaal Charles who ripped up the league a year ago. The Chiefs make the playoffs with Charles

Only 2-3 teams a year can compete with them though. Jeeze how many teams when every big game they're in? Come on this is a stupid comment

You would just think they would be better than 2-6 in big games, that's all.

Charles is a beast, but he's never been an every down back either. Even last year when he went for 1500 yards or whatever Thomas Jones had more carries than him, Charles just averaged a million yards a carry to make up for it.

Especially now that he tore up his knee it's almost a guarantee they go to a 2 back system next year in my opinion.

Not saying James won't be a good player, but I can't see him being a workhorse back. He's the change of pace.

He'll be a starter for sure..he's fast as shit and has unreal vision.

But my whole point was you don't call somebody a third down back unless that's their peak.

Chris Johnson is a similar back to James as well. And you really don't need a 2 back system anymore with how much teams pass

Which conference are the refs from? SEC and B1G refs worry about that shit to painful extents, but others are more lenient

Yeah it looked to me like before he had full control his momentum carried him out of bounds.

Oh well though
