He just never came close to consistently excelling


he was our best player against MSU and UGA as a freshman in the first half, as a running back, then was benched the entire 2nd half of both games.

He consistently made plays only to get placed on the bench afterwards. His proper position was running back then move him around after

4 carries for 26 yards against MSU isn't exactly "best player" material. Against Georgia he had carries of 3, 2, 6, 3, and 2 with a fumble self-recovered thrown in. He had one run of 18 yards that inflated his stats in that game. On the other hand, Charles Scott ran for 95 yards and 2 TDs on 19 carries.

RS made some good plays. But, he was not a consistent RB. He couldn't pass block and was limited in his effectiveness if he didn't get space.
