Apparently you think Foster is going pro this year because the post said that after Foster leaves, would Hardesty be an all american. Either that or you don't pay attention to the program enough to know that Hardesty will be a junior next year. It was only a few weeks ago when the Vol Nation was jumping Fulmer for not getting Hardesty into the Bama game and now he's suddenly no good. I've watched each game this year multiple times and Hardesty is my favorite back. Foster has done a great job too but he lacks the speed to be a complete back. I think Hardesty would have been much more effective against LSU than Foster was because of the speed thing and the style of run. If you didn't see all of Hardesty's punishing runs, watch the games again and you'll see what I'm talking about and I don't want to hear anyone compare the two backs in the speed category because everyone knows that it is a fact that Hardesty is a faster back. I'm not taking away from Foster in any way, I'm just saying that if Hardesty gets his chance in a couple of years, he will be a great back and possibly could be an all-american. Read the original post and you'll see that it asks if anyone thinks Hardesty could be an all-american after Foster leaves. BTW that will be the season after next for those of you who don't keep up with it closely.
