Kelly said in the presser that because UT throws a ton they were in nickel or dime coverage and Perkins position is not in on that set up. He would've had to play middle LB and he hasn't practiced that. I would've still tried him a series at MB anyway but that's just me.


They ran twice as much as they passed yet we never adjusted and put him in. And, I agree with you. Even if they prepared for a pass heavy UT, why would you not find a way to get 40 out there?

Think. It’s EXTREMELY rare for a freshman to play a lot of snaps at MLB because they have to direct the middle of the defense. Beckwith is one of the few who started and played a ton of snaps there, and it was mid season before he took over. Also, the way UT plays doesn’t allow for a lot of subs, so whoever goes in has to plan to play the entire drive.

A legitimate complaint is why didn’t they get out of nickel later in the game when UT was running a lot and play Perkins in his typical role? They also said they were using him to spell BJ at rush end. Why didn’t he get more series there, especially in the 2nd half? This is where the staff really missed it.
