Actually I do. Look at his rushing attepts..then take a gander at his attempts with us to date. 112 to 208! I was making a statement of theory. I did not know what his totals were and they are irrelevant in the scheme of things. All I know is that he did not play as the sole back or the numbers would have been better at TT. He was in a rotation of 3-4 backs (FB included) which ran the ball as a group. Now, Shaud is the only RB to start and that means his numbers should be up...and they are. No matter who is lined up in front of him! Our OL has been a disappointment no matter how you slice it! That was the point being made...
In 2000 he didn't play much and you cannot count that. You seem to be one that will say statistics tell the story. I don't agree. Yes, we may have ran the ball well in a few games, but when Shaud breaks a run for 80 yards due to his ability and gets 100 for the game don't tell me the OL was pushing them back all game long! I guess we will just have to agree-to-disagree!

However, the fact that you failed to do your research is dumber. As you can see from this link, Shaud rushed for 658 yards in 1999, and 223 in 2000. So, there were no 1,000 yard seasons at Tech. As for his line at Tech, I doubt you have a clue as to who was blocking for him. http://texastech.ocsn.com/sports/m-footbl/archive/text-m-footbl-archive.html Lee -----Original Message----- From: Devan Orange [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 10:10 AM To: 'RollTideFan-The University of Alabama Athletics Discussion List' Subject: RE: [RollTideFan] After Britt injury, Smiley eyes NFL I have to bring this one back to the top because I have to say that Lee's comment here is about the dumbest quote I have ever heard in my life!!! You are saying that when Shaud was running behind two old ladies and two guys in a wheelchair while at Texas Tech and getting 1000+ yards it wasn't that he is good enough to get yards without a line? Dude you need to check it....I guess you were a lineman....me? I was a RB...

Brodie's problem was the outside rush (ie, Britt, Mathis, and Herrion). Brodie wore Ritzman like a coat all day.
