Lane vs. Charles

[rich_pack]

Javorskie Lane allready has 8 td's. And Charles has 7 tds. Not trying to judge anyone, but I remember awhile back when some were saying that Charles would be so much better than Lane, but Lane is ahead on scoring in half the amount of playing time as Charles. Just my opinion. In know, some are going to start talking about look at how good UT is Compaired to A&M, but hats off to Lane for rushing like he has with a offensive line that really is bad...

[VB Pack Fan]

Lane is coming off the bench and doing a great job for A&M.The two are different type running backs with Charles a speedy back while lane is a power ruuner with more speed than most know.Cograts to both guys

[wide-e-wide]

Who else does aggy have?
I love the train...don't get me wrong...this time last year I was screaming for him every game...
But c'mon....
Texas has 4+ quality RB's......aggy has Javorskie...

It's not fair to either to compare the two.

[ktchamp97]

Lane is doing a great job filling in for C. Lewis.

Jamaal has 74 carries so far and Lane has 71...so, actually they've played about the same amount. Jamaal has 250 more yards rushing and over 100 more yards receiving.

Jamaal has been banged up and hasn't had many carries in the last few games. Plus, the TD stat doesn't tell the whole story because UT almost always brings in Melton near the goalline, so Jamaal doesn't get as many opportunities in the redzone. Jamaal has also rarely played past the third quarter, because of how UT has been winning.

I like Lane, he was a great player for Lufkin and I hope he has a great college career, but the only people who would take him over Jamaal Charles are Aggie fans...that's just the truth. That doesn't mean he sucks, or he's bad, or anything like that...Jamaal is just that good.

I'm glad ktchamp exposed this weak argument for the fraud that it is. There are two amazing statstics that tell you the true story here...

aggy true freshman RBs - 8 TDs

Texas true freshman RBs - 13 TDs

Anybody that has watched one Texas game knows that, for whatever the reason, once the ball gets inside the 5 yard line, the two TEs come out with the FB and big Hank the Tank. That is his job. JC has the job of picking up 50 yards on the drive. Hank has the job finishing the deal. Hence the reason that Hank has 6 TDs on the year despite only getting 15% of the carries.

And the best one yet...

Jamaal Charles' TDs have been scored from an AVERAGE of more than 26 yards out.

Lane's TDs have been scored from an AVERAGE of 2 yards out.

Jamaal Charles has a TD run of 80 yards. Lane's longest TD run is 5 yards.

Nuff said.

I get a kick out of how UT and A&M are compared in everything. They fight over who will have the bigger stadium, too! :D

If I wanted a RB that could put his head down and pound out 2 1/2 hard yards I would pick J. Lane.

If I wanted a RB that could do "EVERYTHING ELSE" I would take J. Charles. :D

I would still pick Charles. He is a complete running back.

How come aggy always gets excited when one of their players does something against some real crappy teams like Okla St. & KSU? They were excited about McNeal against SMU & Texas St., but you could see what he does against every other team. nothing. Lane will be the same.

Oh ya.. J. Charles is the type of RB that could take a handoff or swing pass to the endzone from 10 yds out or 80 yds out. He's the real deal. I would like to see him put on about 10lbs of muscle. I also think he's a little injury prone (High school & now college). I also think the same thing of A. Peterson.

No doubt that Texas got one quality back in J. Charles. It's almost scary wehn you look at the RB's on the team now and some of the RB's that are verbally committed to Texas. I dont know if there is enough football's to go around if you know what I mean.

Tx A&M.... their just trying to make themselves feel better about football right now. They do seem like their slowly improving. They took some "key" injuries this season to some very good players that's hurting them.

As long as Texas blows them out I dont really care. :D

[VB Pack Fan]

This makes no sense at all. Both are great at what they do. Does it matter if Charles runs one from 80 or Lane runs one in for 2. It,s the TD that counts Lane will be more effective in the long run because he can take more hits than Charles. You can,t score in you are on the bench banged up. Two different kids. Just think if Lane had agreed to play fullback he would be at UT and this would not even be an issue. Can you invision having them both :eek:

If we did that we would have to expose the fact that your the biggest freaking fraud on this site. ;) You are such a statistic freak when it supports your guy but when it does not it is the wins that matters not the stats. FRAUD!! LOL

I kinda thought the "win column" argument was a given here. aggy knows they suck. I didn't see the need to really rub it in here, but here goes anyway...

Charles - 7-0 (wins over a couple of nationaly ranked opponents)

Lane - 5-2 (embarassing games against TSU, Baylor along with a loss to Clemson and an epic beatdown at the hands of Colorado)

Now, maybe that completes the argument.

Lane and Charles are 2 completely differrent types of back's and it is very difficult to compare the 2!! Especially this early in their careers. I mean Lane has started 2 games!!

[TheDuke]

This thread doesn't really make sense because these two backs or so different. Lane also hasn't even played that much. Charles is faster and quicker but Lane make you pay for hitting him by running you over. Should be good to see Lane against that UT defense this year. Looking forward to it.

[stevefoxsc]

does it matter they got into the school of there dreams i presume i dont think they care there jsut doing what they love

[Favpack]

FWIW -- Lane's recent success has and will potentially continue to build the Lufkin west roster. I personally think it was a good move for Jorvorski as well. A&M won't be in the Rose Bowl in January, but they could be a big 12 contender in a couple of years if they keep building. UT is already there, but they will take a hit when VY leaves - this year or next.

[stevefoxsc]

assuming they get the QB they want ut will be like the 2004 team

[PurpleNation]

I am a Longhorn fan but I would Take Lane anyday over Jammal. Picture Lane running behind UT's O-Line they are the best in the country. Lane is not as clumsy as you would think. He is 265lbs and runs a 4.6 in the 40. He can catch the ball just as good as any WR. He played a lot of Slot WR in HS its just that the aggies Utilize him different. Jammall plays for a way better team and it clearly shows. All around I wouls like to have Lane cause he is pretty fast and has alot of size to make defenders think twice before hitting him. If A&M gets inside the 5 call it quits he is going to score.

I want to see what Lane does against a decent squad. His best game came against the worst team in the big 12.

Who have to start somewere

[hornfan713]

Jamaal is a harder runner than many think
