Auburn leads the way with 3 on the freshman team.geaux321

Very nice! :) OU has 3 on the main list and QB/RB on the freshman team... I will take it. Now lets just take care of business on Saturday against Mizzou.

^^ yes; he put his team in a position to win most every game. including app st.

and i think mitch king should be on this list, iowa may suck, but this guys a beast, he is the main reason it took 13 quarters for Iowa to give up a touchdown.

I was about to say that.

The Heisman goes to the best play in the country not for the most valuable player on a team. By your logic Jacob Hester should be the heisman front runner.LSUTIGERMAN

i agree jacob hester should be the heisman

i agree jacob hester should be the heisman

is jacob jester that important to LSU? Because he doesnt seem all that special to me.

And no, he should not be in the heisman race.

Yeah he's pretty important, he's always been there. Which to me is a very imporntant aspect.

But I agree he shouldn't be in the heisman race, I was just saying that using the Mike Hart logic.

wow did you watch the lsu florida game one bit?

Hester is a good piece to that offense, but he isnt Heisman capable.Espurs117

no he wont win the heisman. but he is very important to LSU, just look at that 4th down conversion

Wow, did you? Sure he is a good RB but only as important as any other starting RB in the nation for the most part.

Am I the only one that thinks Mike Hart is not that great a rb?LSUTIGERMAN

Are you serious? We might still be winless without him.

Hart is a great college RB and I love his attitude but I don't think the way he runs will work in the NFL.Espurs117

id agree but i said that about AP last year

Yeah you're right, I mean he did rush for awhoping 114 yard rushing or so... which happened to be a career high... You're right, he is amazing!!

And sorry if I was a smartass, but you are terribly wrong if you think Hester should seriously be in the heisman race.

Do you understand how winning the heisman works?

Well when you run by committe like LSU, and have 4 other guys ahead of you that could start for any team in the nation, and still get over 100 yards rushing I would say you're pretty importantLSUTIGERMAN

So hester is the 5th string RB? And the 4 guys ahead of him can start for ANY team in the nation?Wow.

100 yards rushing is good and all, but dont make it seem like he didnt have barely any carries at all, he had22 of them, it wasnt like he did that off 8 carries or something.

No Hester is considred the starting RB, LSU has always been a rbc school each running back has completly different styles and are used throughout the game.

Plus he got that against a SEC defense, its not like he's running against Louisville or someone.

LSU's Run by Committee:

Kieland Williams - Ranked the 3rd best RB in 2006 by Scout

Charles Scott - Ranked the 10th best RB in 2005 by Scout

Richard Murphy - Ranked 37 best RB in 2005 by Scout

Ryan Perilloux - #1 overall

Trindon Holliday - Olympian

These aren't chumps he's running with.

Ok...... well then why did you say that he plays behind 4 guys that could start fot any team in the nation... he according to what you say is the starting RB...?

LSUTIGERMAN

Perilloux is a QB, sure he pretty much just runs it, but he doesnt even play RB and he couldnt start for any team in the nation. And who cares what they were ranked comming out of high school? Sure it meant something then, but all that matters now is how they are playing NOW.

And just saying Trindon Holliday is an olympian doesnt really justify that he is a good RB, there have been TONS of track stars who triend football and turned out to suck. Now Holliday is pretty decent, but he is NOt an every down back and obviously couldnt start anywhere in the nation. He is a very good change of pace back and is used very good, but like I said he could not start anywhere in the nation. Heck he wouldnt even start at crappy old Louisville.

i know he wont win the heisman, but the guy had a great game and you have to understand his importance to his team. and to me with those other weapons LSU has on offense 114 yards is pretty good.

You just don't understand. And I don't have the time to fully explain it to you. I'll say this just to end it. LSU runs by committee, running with 4-5 other people and still getting 100+ yards is an amazing feet seeing as how all the other rb's are phenomenal in their own right. He's is the heart of LSU football right now. I wouldn't want anyone else in the entire country running the ball for me in a critical situation.

Ok man I understand what a RB by committee is Ive played football for 11 years, and my dad coached for 10. Im a volunteer coach at one of the top football programs in kentucky right now. I knowa thing or two about football. And sure, normally 100 yards by a RB by committee is very good, because you usally get 10 or 12 carries, but he got 22 of them, he had a solid game, nothing else.

Louisville also has a RB by committee and Anthony Allen (one of UofLs RBs) had 275 yards in one game earlier this season, and well Anthony Allen isnt really all that special either to tell you the truth. But, according to you having over 100 yards is ridiculously good for a RB that plays in a RB by committee system, so him having 275 yards must make him one of the best RBs in the country right?

Is it? Because it looks like he was limping most of the time after he got up from the pile. He got the injury on his first carry of the game, so it lingered with him. He was not 100% and was still gutting it out.

And just saying Trindon Holliday is an olympian doesnt really justify that he is a good RB, there have been TONS of track stars who triend football and turned out to suck. Now Holliday is pretty decent, but he is NOt an every down back and obviously couldnt start anywhere in the nation. He is a very good change of pace back and is used very good, but like I said he could not start anywhere in the nation. Heck he wouldnt even start at crappy old Louisville.

You just don't understand. And I don't have the time to fully explain it to you. I'll say this just to end it. LSU runs by committee, running with 4-5 other people and still getting 100+ yards is an amazing feet seeing as how all the other rb's are phenomenal in their own right. He's is the heart of LSU football right now. I wouldn't want anyone else in the entire country running the ball for me in a critical situation.

Ok man I understand what a RB by committee is Ive played football for 11 years, and my dad coached for 10. Im a volunteer coach at one of the top football programs in kentucky right now. I knowa thing or two about football. And sure, normally 100 yards by a RB by committee is very good, because you usally get 10 or 12 carries, but he got 22 of them, he had a solid game, nothing else.

Louisville also has a RB by committee and Anthony Allen (one of UofLs RBs) had 275 yards in one game earlier this season, and well Anthony Allen isnt really all that special either to tell you the truth. But, according to you having over 100 yards is ridiculously good for a RB that plays in a RB by committee system, so him having 275 yards must make him one of the best RBs in the country right?

During that game Allen had 35 carries, that's starter numbers.

And? Hester had 23 carries in the game where he 114 yards, 23 carries is starter numbers as well. BUT since they play in a RB by comittee system, then just having alot of yards, no matter how many carries, is impressive. Thats pretty much what LSUTIGERMAN was making it sound like.

But hey nevermind, you guys are right Hester is amazing, he sure showed his stuff last night.

Yeah, when you're a power RB with a thigh bruise, smooth.

Ok.... and your point is? He was getting shut down the entire game, that injury is no excuse.

And even if he came into the game with the injury, a thigh bruise isnt that big of a deal.

Is it? Because it looks like he was limping most of the time after he got up from the pile. He got the injury on his first carry of the game, so it lingered with him. He was not 100% and was still gutting it out.

Yeah well a bruised thigh isnt near as bad as it sounds. I played RB all through High School and ive gotten hurt way worse then that... when your in a game like that your mind blocks out the pain, and it doesnt really hurt. Sure the next day it will hurt real bad, but during the game your adrenaline is pumping so hard you dont even notice. Unless all he was focusing on was the pain instead of the game.. and if thats the case he doesnt even deserve to be talked about as LSUs best player or whatever...

And what do you mean he was gutting it out?? He didnt play good at all last night?
