If there's one position I know, it's running backs....I've covered the best, and I know a great one when I see one
Hardesty is a tough runner, stronger, determined and fast.
But the guy has gotten injured because he takes so many direct hits....watch his runs, and you'll see he doesn't have the "wiggle'' in the hole that turns death-shots into glancing blows.
Further, he's not as smooth on the perimeter runs....some backs "glide'' running laterally -- that was Foster's strength.
Now, Foster didn't have the vertical game Hardesty does...
There's no jitterbug in Hardesty either -- he can't make something out of nothing, like some great backs.
If there's a hole, he's money. If there's not, he's getting back to the line, or taking a big shot.
Watch and evaluate these things I have said for yourself.
Hardesty -- good leader, tough guy, good presence.
Not a great back, and I use the word "great'' sparingly.
not positive at all so i may be way wrong, but wasn't hardesty the one who broke that big run against cal when nothing was there? again, sorry if i got confused
You do know Stephen Garcia is your QB right? Regardless of who your QB is, you are still South Carolina. A team with no history...whose biggest tradition is running through a fake smoke machine to some piped in corny music. Your football team has never won anything and will never match up consistently with the top teams in the SEC. Sleep on THAT cock beast!
No chance. He's not faster and is too small right now. Doesn't matter how hard guys at 185 run, defenses intent on killing them do.Enough about irrelevant programs, the case has been made well now.
So, what are the chances Oku ends up higher on the depth chart than BB going into the season? Oku can catch the ball out of the backfield, and has been said to look to be a harder and faster runner.

How big is Jahvid Best? What about Kendall Hunter? Then there's Jacquizz Rodgers? And last but not least Arkansas's Michael Smith? Yeah that throws your theory out of the window. His style of running is perfect for his frame.
McFadden curled up in 2007 and Felix Jones got hurt. Anthony Dixon is a soft 240 lb TB.
Les Miles refuses to let Keiland Williams get a lot of touches.
Glen Coffee was a plowhorse, he didn't have great speed.
Did PJ Hill play against UT in the Outback Bowl?
I imagine Hardesty is one of the hardest runners Berry has faced. That's one thing I do like about Hardesty is he never goes down on first contact (might also be the reason he stays hurt)
Best is a lot bigger and much faster. Michael Smith is tiny and breaks no tackles. In fact, none you listed, aside from Best, is a great running back. You want small guys that impact, get your head out of your rear and find one. They exist but are absolutely the exception because defenders easily throw around tiny guys.
