First Round RBs After First Game

• Oregon's LaMichael James was slowed down by LSU's defense in the Ducks' loss and was held to just 54 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries. It was the second straight game against an SEC opponent, dating back to the 2010 BCS Title Game against Auburn, in which James struggled to get anything going. There's no doubt that James has speed and quickness, but how well will he be able to translate his talents to the next level against NFL defenses and will he ever be more than just a third down back?

However, his limited number of carries could have been a result of the Tide's overwhelming 48-7 victory. Richardson has always had the blend of power and speed to be effective and without Mark Ingram this season to split carries, Trent should produce game in and game out. Mocks are starting to place him in the top five picks already....
