@MrFreethrowchamp21 oh you've seen how i look?

[MrFreethrowchamp21]

@blr141 he is 6'1'' 227. Their is no way you look bigger

[blr141]

why is it that football players weigh so much but look smaller. Im 5"11 200 and i look way bigger than him.

[MrFreethrowchamp21]

@brobin86 how many rushing yards he have his first season?

[MrBm619]

miles and maddox didnt get the carries they deserved kenny miles came in against FSU had 10 carries for 70 yrds n maddox would run well also when he would actually get a chance

@MrAUFANATIC Out of HS, most recruiting services had Lattimore as the #1 back and Dyer #2. I know both Rivals and Scout had Lattimore #1. Dyer was #1 on ESPN's list I think. Regardless, both are great backs who fit their school well. Both made the right choices.

@USCsOwnJrock Thats true, i think Newton was a ball hog anyways. But my point is you also have to look at the fact that Maddox and Miles both got carries as well, and Lattimore was out half the Kentucky game, all of the Vanderbilt game, and almost all of the chick-fil-a bowl, do to his gum bleeding. But even though its true, if hes such a good back they should've gave him the ball more, i mean a QB is there to Pass first, and run second, unless its designed. but good luck too both RBs.

[MrAUFANATIC]

@USCsOwnJrock If Dyer had the chance to run the ball his stats would pass Lattimore. Dyer lacked 500 yards cause of cam and mccalebb, u have to think that lattimore is south carolina's only rb that can run and lattimore & dyer didnt have the same privileges....But out of H.S. Dyer was the #1 RB out of h.s. thats a fact

[USCsOwnJrock]

@MrAUFANATIC Oh But guess what, Look at these stats-

Lattimore: 249 carries & 29 receptions, 1609 total yards & 19 total TDs

Dyer: 182 carries & 1 reception, 1102 yards & 5 total TDs

Hmmm...Now who looks like the #1 HB? Lattimore is Better than Dyer and there is know denying it, its just common sense. And For Dyer, almost half his rushing yards and all but 1 of his 5 TDs came against weak opponents like Ole miss, arkansas state and Chattanooga. Lattimore will be the best again in 2011.
