He reminds me a bit of Barry Sanders, I dont think anyone is like Barry Sanders but still some. And outside the injury hes in his second year. Thing Is I noticed with other so called greats that I see talked about below, their a lot like Emitt Smith vs Barry back in the days. The other guys just run threw nothing and score. This kid runs threw everything and scores.
@goskateVERT Yeah, actually. If you watch from 4:05 to the end, all of those plays are touchdowns. and it's somewhat weird that you're comparing a running back to a quarterback...
@goskateVERT also odd that you compare marcus lattimore to denard. denard only plays one half a game because he gets hurt. he runs incredible, but he cant play QB any better than lattimore prolly can....
South Carolina has looked better last year than this year up to this point. South Carolina has looked a lil shaky in the 1st 4 games. they need to pick it up espically getting into October where it serious business.
Has Emmit Smith's balance/drive in Adrian Peterson's body. I say he's the next leading rusher in the nfl barring some freak injuries. Should add one to his number and become a Dallas Cowboy in 2 years.
A very good all around back..... and he has added 15 pounds this off-season. I'll be watching his career with interest. Possibly another Walter Payton type.
@DrSqkuirtle marcus lattimore is MARCUS LATTIMORE.... but his balance after contact remains of terrel davis from the ol skool broncos and his vision is like barry sanders everything else is marcus lattimore he WILL be better than peterson at the NFL level
three words describing this guy: balance, power, and vision. sees the best route to anywhere on the field and knows how to get there. he can catch it like no one's business too. true can't miss franchise running back. if he adds a quicker first step, we're talking perrenial all pro.
Bob Davie in quotes " Marcus Lattimore is an offensive linemen dream". thats crazy. he may not be the best RB in college football this upcoming season. but he's defiantly in my Top 3.
He is an example of how a running back should run. Rarely does he run east and west to try and create something. He runs north and south to get what he can every play.
if South Carolina doesn't win 10 games, ill be shocked by looking at their schedule with the talent i saw on their roster. no Alabama and LSU either from what i saw on the schedule.
This is prolly the most hype South Carolina has ever had going into a season. My guess when the polls come out in like 2 or 3 weeks for ESPN , South Carolina will probably be a top 15 football team.
according to the experts of college football he is one of the best coming into this season. yes, i was kidding. lol. experts think he is as far as talent wise.
Lattimore, Richardson, and James are the clearly best 3 RBs in college football. everybody is picking Alabama or LSU to win the SEC. I think with a healthy Lattimore and Jeffery, i think they will win the SEC Championship. don't sleep on South Carolina winning the SEC, but they are expected to win the SEC East tho.
@Lamborghini274 look up richardson's stats. he's never had 800 hundred yards rushing in a season. He's just shy of 1500 for his career. He is a beast though and will probably come very close to 1000 this season.
@Lamborghini274 According to espn.com's stats Trent Richardson rushed for just under 800 yards for the last two seasons and has just shy of 1500 yards rushing career wise. He's still a great back and is gonna be great next year. Looking forward to a richardson lattimore matchup in atl.
@WarEagleAuburn89 i do think richardson is a tad bit overrated but u have to put him in the conversation as one of the best tailbacks in the country. in high school he had a season of more than 800 yards easily. The reason he hasnt had an 800 yard rushing season in college is umm i dunno maybe bcuz he was sharing carries with a heisman trophy winner? just a thought. but when he did get the ball he averaged 6.3 yards a carry, which btw is more than what LaMichael James and Lattimore averaged.
@WarEagleAuburn89 it's because we had ingram and we have awesome receivers with a good quarterback(this year not so much), i can't wait to watch auburn take it on their back game after game this season, y'all are gonna suck
he is prolly one of the best RB's in Colllege Football this year. LaMichael James, Trent Richardson, and Marcus Lattimore are the best RBs in college football coming into this season. Lattimore will make South Carolina better this year. if Lattimore is Healthy, i think South Carolina could win the SEC Championship. i think they are the sleeper to win it because everybody thinks its gonna be Alabama or LSU.
I'm out here stationed in Cali but I bleed that Garnet and Black.... I pay extra on my DirectTV bill just to see every Gamecock Football game.... Super ready for the 2011 Season.... GO COCKS!!!
Not to downplay Davis (he's an excellent player), but he was an experienced junior last year, and life gets easier for a running back when the opposing defense has to worry about the dynamic receivers of Arkansas and the cannon arm of Ryan Mallett. South Carolina's O-line is decent, but if you look here, Lattimore basically makes all of his own yards and sets up all of his own blocks. The kid's really special.
reminds me of cadddilac williams before the injuries. This is exactly what caddy was at auburn and in his rookie season with the bucs. Not a peterson but still good in his own right
I am not necessarily a Gamecock fan. However, I do like this team. Marcus Lattimore is a very good back. Will be doing his thing for 3-4 years. The only thing I don't like about him is he does have breakaway speed. We all know what Alshon Jeffery will do for the Cocks. Stephen Garcia needs to be a little more consistent.
Back in Thomas Sumter's days, cock fighting wasn't illegal.. I'm a Florida fan even though I live in SC and I can tell u there's nothing wrong with the fighting gamecock mascot. It is a SC heritage thing.
South Carolina's logo is one of the worst in all of sports in my opinion and Idc if there is a story behind it or what not there's just no reason to have chosen a rooster raised for illegal cockfighting as your mascot like really it's like they planned to fail and frankly I would be suprised if it doesn't get changed soon
@hisaoawesome its called having pride in your heritage, something the state and citizens of SC take very serious. Its a million times better then choosing a Tiger as your mascot, bc we all know how original that is. Dont hold your breath on it changing
Do some research before you come in spewing nonsense. Hint look up Revolutionary War hero Thomas Sumter. Our mascot has nothing to do with cockfighting.
@hisaoawesome It is not changing, there is nothing wrong with it. You should start focusing on something other than the logo when you are watching football.
@hisaoawesome If the basis for your calling our mascot one of the worst has to do with illegal cockfighting then you might want to go do some research on CFB mascots and there origins because I know for a fact that there are mascot's of other university's that have a far worse origin than just a chicken bred to fight.
@hisaoawesome We are the Gamecocks because that was also what Thomas Sumter was known as...."The Gamecock". A Gamecock is an animal that doesn't stop fighting til it's dead. Thomas Sumter, one of our greatest Generals in our Country's history, was known as the Gamecock cause of his fighting tatics he used agains the British. You obviously need a quick history lesson, look shit up on google before you open your mouth and make yourself sound stupid again.
@hisaoawesome Hold on, just slow down there for a minute skippy. First of all It has been on a lot of Peoples lists for Best College Logos. Also we didn't actually mention the name first, back in the real early 1900's the reporters use to watch us play, and seeing the style our guys played with(Fast, relentless, and fierceness), the newspaper referred to us as playing like scrappy gamecocks, henceforth We named ourselves the Gamecocks. And its seems to be very popular to me.
@hisaoawesome its a gamecock because in the revolutionary war there was a famous general Thomas sumter whose nickname was gamecock. obviously he served in the South Carolina militia... so thats why they are called the Gamecocks...
He reminds me a bit of Barry Sanders, I dont think anyone is like Barry Sanders but still some. And outside the injury hes in his second year.
