Ridiculous.
Agree. I love our stable of backs, but Freeman is the man regardless of anything else. Also I believe he had a hip injury most of last year, that slowed him. Because as a FR he didn't have trouble out running guys.

I wasn't saying anything contrary to that. Freeman is obviously the best out of them and one of he best RBs we've had at Oregon. He just lacks something in his running style that the other three all possess. I've lost track of how many times he's burst into the second level only to come to a complete in an attempt to spin around a DB and get easily taken down. Which is why, though Freeman is obviously the better RB, I prefer the running style of the other 3.
