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.Classyposter58;1035840 wrote:Beat Stanford last season. Year before beat USC, Cal and Oregon State who all were pretty highly ranked coming into game

I agree with that assessment. About James, not Musberger. He's a McCluster/Sproles/Spiller. Don't see him being an every down back.SportsAndLady;1035847 wrote:Musberger just called L James a future 3rd down back in the NFL lol fuckin moron

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 CharlesMulva;1035858 wrote:I agree with that assessment. About James, not Musberger. He's a McCluster/Sproles/Spiller. Don't see him being an every down back.
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 commentrobj55;1035845 wrote: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.

You would just think they would be better than 2-6 in big games, that's all.Classyposter58;1035879 wrote: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

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.Classyposter58;1035879 wrote:Yeah but his cutting ability reminds me a lot of Jamaal Charles who ripped up the league a year ago.

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 passMulva;1035895 wrote:Charles is a beast, but he's never been an every down back either.

Yeah it looked to me like before he had full control his momentum carried him out of bounds.SportsAndLady;1035989 wrote:Agree..rootin for Oregon but the guy who recovered the ball definitely touched the white line before fully recovering the ball

There's no way a spike takes only 1 second.
