"Richardson carries extra incentive for LSU"

[Chechem]

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Alabama's Trent Richardson is eager to show what he can do against No. 1 LSU.

Not because Saturday night's showdown is the type of game that serve as a showcase for the Heisman Trophy candidate. The star tailback for the No. 2 Crimson Tide said it's because he was injured and didn't play much against the Tigers.

"This game means a lot to me because I didn't get to play in it last year except for about one quarter," Richardson said. "So I really can't wait to showcase what a healthy Trent can do in this game."

Richardson was hurt when LSU's Patrick Peterson slammed him to the ground on a short touchdown catch and became an otherwise nonfactor in last year's game, carrying six times for 28 yards. He left it with a torn abdominal muscle, a slightly torn knee ligament and a bitter memory.

Richardson missed the next two games and wasn't particularly effective in the final two behind Mark Ingram.

The nation's No. 3 run defense will greet him on Saturday night at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and Richardson has an idea of what to expect after last year's run-in.

"That's always in the back of my head, these guys took me out," he said. "And I had to sit out two more games after that. It's in my head already that I know they're going to try to come right at me and they're going to try to take me down."

We've been trying to tell folks about MFBATR, since Ingram was a backup to Glen Coffee. Maybe they'll finally get it on Saturday.

I know.  All it will take to convince them is for TR to run over the Badger once, just once.  The "Honey Badger" crap has been built up so much that the media people are drooling over him.  He's a twerp; he's going down.

Well I think TR will run the ball good. His break away speed will attribute to a long TD run. His power should be a blessing when he runs over 2 maybe 3 in a row. Just praying he doesn't get hurt. I think EL and Fowler is going to have to help run the ball and keep TR's legs fresh. RTR!
