Foster break the record?

[jaxvol]

I know it is hard to believe, but Foster may not break the record at this rate.

I know the Foster bashers will come out in force, but just think about how bad the offense has been this year:banghead2:

Yes he will the fumble today was not his fault. Foster is a great back.Last year remember what he did against Georgia 3TDS WOW give the guy a break.

 

[BigPapaVol]

If Hardesty and Creer play well, he is very unlikely to break it IMO.

 

[TrueOrange]

i dont think he will based on the gameplay so far in the season, but he's got another 8 games to turn it around and prove me wrong if he's going to

 

[VOLNBAMA]

he's on pace to easily break the record.

yes he will the fumble today was not his fault. foster is a mediocre back.last year remember what he did against georgia 3tds wow give the guy a break.

fyp

 

[jaxvol]

37 yards against UF
30 yards against AU

 

[SC-Vol]

Which record? Most fumbles in a season or most fumbles inside the 5 (either end of field)?

 

[BigPapaVol]

if Hardesty plays well, his pace will slow substantially.

 

[Business]

It starts at the O-Line. This is maybe the most overrated O-Line to take the field.

 

[BigPapaVol]

we had a pretty solid YPC again, with no real big plays.

We could have run 3 times every series and had much better results than we got.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

go vls

 

[jaxvol]

If you have a WR that can't catch you make him a DB. Maybe Foster could be a good LB??

 

[jaxvol]

He needed 684 before the season.

He has 233 through 4 games.

He needs 451 in the next eight games.

He is barely on pace to make a record that he should have blown away.

 

[Rabidvol44]

Obviously Arian is just misunderstood. Really he's good, just ask the coaches! ;-)

 

[AllVolYall]

Unfortunately, Foster will be most remembered for all the untimely fumbles (cue Foster fumble reel).

 

[jaxvol]

Every RB makes fumbles. It is just when he makes his. CBS had a "low light" reel of his fumbles yesterday.

It reminds me of a baseball stat -- batting average with runnings in scoring position.

We could have a stat -- fumbles that cost the game.

 

[Business]

I'm sorry but I cannot even come close to saying Foster is a "great" back. Great is reserved for the Lewis', Webb's, Henry's, etc.

 

[VolPhin865]

at this point...Foster doesn't deserve the record....Hardesty and Creer are playing better than he is

 

[jaxvol]

I would hate to see Foster at the top of the list. It would bring back bad memories for years to come.

Totals year to date.

Foster 47 carries - 263 yds - 5.59 ypc - 1 fumble - 0 td
Hardesty 34 carries - 144 yds - 4.23 ypc - 1 fumble - 4 td
Creer 13 carries - 116 yds - 8.92 ypc - 0 fumble - 2 td

So who is the best back? All stats are from utsports.com. I think let Foster and Creer move the ball downfield. But all Hardesty and Creer inside the 20.

mis-leading stats. mopup duty against a poor UAB defense.

 

[Cartervol]

I have a hard time thinking of arian foster and ut alltime leading rusher. All i can think about when i think of foster is, all the game killing turnovers he either directly or indirectly been a part of.

 

[orange4ever]

Alright rockydoc, take Creer out of the stats. Give Hardesty the same number of carries as Foster and he is still under 200 total yds. Foster moves the ball downfield and Hardesty gets it inside the 20. Seems to be done that way now for the most part.
