Our lack of a running game

Agree....we need some stud horses to tote the ball. Without that threat, opposing defenses can play pretty conservative. All the current RBs have been disappointing. I understand Fournette is once in a generation, but we have no Hill, Broussette, Scott or anyone of that like.

They could have a better running game if they designed runs with Daniels, rather than let him run ad-libbed.

It’s definitely a concern, but saying this is the third year in a row, explains a lot. This team has a ton of holes to fill. It’s not going to be a quick fix. People jumping to conclusions half way through year 1, are not facing reality. If we are talking about this, year 3, then I agree, it’s huge red flag.

This is an excellent way of putting it.

The running game has been neglected for five years, 2019 was an outlier due to the greatest passing game in CFB history that made it easy to move the ball any way we wanted, including the ground game.


When we snap the ball this season there is never anything that appears to come naturally or easy.

It really is incumbent on the coaching staff to scheme plays that compensate for our weakness on the line and limitations at QB.

Having Daniels stand still waiting for someone to break open while the pocket collapses around him is lunacy and yet it seems to be the plan nearly every play.

Why we don’t work in rollouts or misdirection is really confusing to me.


This Florida game is extremely important in trying to get bowl eligible, it’s likely our most winnable SEC game left with Arkansas, so we need to see EVERYTHING this coaching staff can muster this week.
