Running Wild Tiger Style

The LSU Tiger running backs have been running wild this season. For the first time in fourteen years the Tigers might accomplish three 500 yard rushers in the same season. Sophomores Spencer Ware and Michael Ford have already met the 500 yard mark with 580 and 575 yards respectively. The last member to possibly help achieve this feat is Alfred Blue who is at 371 yards after gaining 119 of those yards against Western Kentucky last week. All three running backs have led LSU's rushing efforts in games this season. Ware has had the lead 5 times, Ford 3, and Blue 2. They all tie the team lead with 6 rushing touchdowns. Adding yet another dimension to the Tiger running core is Freshman Kenny Hilliard who at 240 lbs gives his opponents something to run after. If the Tigers can continue to dominate in the running aspect of the game then it will help them to achieve their goal and perhaps seal their fate as the next National Champions.
