Title: Trent Richardson pounds away at Alabama's opponents, critics Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 03, 2011, 10:38:22 PM http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/10/trent_richardson_pounds_away_a.html
Quote (http://media.al.com/mobile-press-register/photo/-fbb53ba7c7980c25.JPG) TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Trent Richardson appeared to have larger muscles. It could have been the tight shirt. Whatever lies beneath his skin (perhaps millions of tiny horses that make him go) made the tattoos on his biceps roll as he sat down to talk with reporters Monday. Revving his engine, perhaps? Legendary strength has helped Alabama's star running back power through what had been the nation's fifth-ranked rushing defense Saturday for a 38-10 win at Florida. With four consecutive 100-yard rushing games, punctuated by his performance in Gainesville, Florida, Richardson has become a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate. Three of his 100-yard games have been against Top 25 teams. He is tied for fifth in the nation in scoring with 10 touchdowns. Alabama coach Nick Saban offered high praise for Richardson Monday afternoon. He even took a shot at the SEC snub for Offensive Player of the Week honors, which was shared by Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson and Razorbacks wide receiver Jarius Wright. "Obviously, Trent Richardson had a fantastic game," Saban said. "I'm sure he would be the first to talk about the offensive line. ... It's hard for me to imagine that anybody could have a better game than Trent Richardson anywhere in the country against good competition. He did a fantastic job."

Richardson said a lot of those yards came because the offensive line was "getting after those boys" and "leaving me to a defensive back." He also credited his receivers with down-field blocks. "It's probably the best I've felt after a game," Richardson said of the pounding he endured. "I was very surprised. As far as being sore body-wise, that was probably the best I've felt after a game." Now that's scarey. :D Title: Re: Trent Richardson pounds away at Alabama's opponents, critics Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on October 04, 2011, 06:16:35 AM BATR was dishing out hits instead of taking them.
