Football: LSU junior running back Stevan Ridley emerges as a catalyst for Tigers’ offense
LSU football coach Les Miles was in a quandary nine months ago when former running backs Charles Scott and Keiland Williams used up their eligibility.
With two of his workhorse backs gone, uncertainty rang across Baton Rouge as to who would become the next Clydesdale.
Miles had a seasoned veteran in senior Richard Murphy and a plethora of young backs in redshirt freshman Michael Ford and true freshmen Alfred Blue and Spencer Ware.
But Murphy was still recovering from a season-ending ACL injury from the previous year, and Miles wasn't about to entrust the job to a freshman.
So he turned to junior running backStevan Ridley, a country boy from Natchez, Miss., who has patiently waited three years for his turn.
