Title: Alabama's Richardson, Lacy give Tide nice 1-2 punch
Post by: pmull on September 13, 2011, 10:38:22 AM
Richardson has pounded his way to five touchdowns in the second-ranked Crimson Tide’s first two games and Lacy has nearly doubled his more well-known backfield mate’s yards per carry.

Richardson hasn’t put up dazzling numbers against Kent State or Penn State, averaging a somewhat pedestrian 3.8 yards a carry so far. But he powered his way to 111 yards on 26 carries against the Nittany Lions to help the Tide control the ball and take pressure off new starting quarterback AJ McCarron.

“I knew it was going to be like this,” Richardson said. “Everybody was going to key on me, just because they think I’m the running back, or man of the show, which I like. I’m glad they do, because Eddie Lacy gets his carries and he does just as good as me. He does better than me. I’m not the one they have to worry about, because of those two monsters (Lacy and Jalston Fowler) I’ve got behind me. And that offensive line, they’re doing pretty good, too.”

The ole 1-2 punch. Sounds familiar doesn't it?

Why doesn't Fowler play more?

Just saying hitting the D with fresh legs every 5 or 6 carries would be nice.

I agree that monster could pound some meat on them. Get them tired more often. RTR!
