i was disappointed. he ran hard , but i didn't see the elusiveness
he displayed in other games. i didn't see the crisp cuts.
williams looked much better.

He didn't really have that many carries did he?

People were trying to tackle him and stuff.

Keiland got the holes that Ridley had against Tulane. He did make some yards on his own however.
I want Ridley to convert some of those third-and-shorts. He's going to be relied on to do that more and more in the future, and I think he's capable, so I want him to get a taste of success in that situation soon.

Miles is a stuborn coach. He started with Ridley a few times then went KW and stayed with KW the whole game. Good coaches switch RBs to keep them fresh and involved in the game. Miles picks one running back for the whole game unless he gets hurt which they usually do.

You have to at least give a running back a chance to get in a rhythm before judging his performance. Miles has never allowed this.

Miles will never be "right" in this situation. Either he isn't getting the ball to the guys that need it enough, or he is ignoring the stars.
We actually have so many studs on the team that nothing will be pleasing to the fans. People bitch if Scott is the feature back and gets 18 carries; then they bitch when Keiland only gets 2 carries; then if Keiland gets 9 carries for 22 yards, they bitch because they gave too many carries to Keiland; then they bitch when Shepard gets 3 carries, but they don't suggest who shouldn't get carries.
The only common denominator is that people like to bitch.

No, actually its like when Scott ripped up UK's defense in the first half in 2007, then he sits the entire rest of the game to come in on the 4th and 1 in 3OT. Things like that which are obvious to anyone with half a brain.

Well I still don't know why Miles has Reggie Bush (SHEP) sitting on the bench. Maybe he should call Pete at USC.

Good thing you just demonstrated you have no knowledge of football.
Listen to the coaches. They tell you why shite like this happens. Scott had one carry for 55 yds, one for 13 and then 5 more for 26 yds. Kentucky made some defensive adjustments (I believe they cheated a safety up to plug the gap that Scott was busting) and made that play no longer a good idea. It's really not a difficult concept. Defenses make adjustments just like offenses.
It was part of the reason we threw the ball 6 times in a row against Tech when the run was unstoppable -- they made some adjustments that made the pass more attractive (too bad Lee can't pass accurately) than the run.
Ever think that the guys making the cash actually know what to look for?
"Going with the hot hand" makes no sense if the play the "hot hand" is running is plugged up by a defensive adjustment.

Wow. So you bench a guy b/c he only got 5 yards per carry the last time around. Instead you start passing when not necessary which leads to multiple 3 and outs as well as a crucial interception. And you are going to question someone else's football knowledge.....

Did you notice that the holes that were opened in the TULANE & LA TECH games were made when certain players who usually start weren't playing. Sorta gives you a clue who should be replaced on the O-Line and maybe we can improve the running game. Then perhaps we wouldn't have so many 3 & out series. You would think it would dawn on someone that changes up front might improve this team. When Scott, Keiland & Ridley had their best rushing totals certain players weren't in the game as O-Linemen & others were.Seems they(coaches) are either blind or clueless.

so you bench the running back who is running the best and replace him for an injured running back? It was probably Miles' worst decision while coaching at LSU.

and we should have ran the ball. Receivers were open all game, but it was NOT WORKING.

i can't believe anybody thinks that playing a hurt Hester over a healthy Scott who was tearing up Kentucky's defense was the right move. It was stupid. What could Hester have done, especially when hurt, that Scott could not?

Glad someone else caught this gem. Unreal.

holy shite. so, Jacob Hester limping to 3.5 yards a carry was better because a safety cheated up and the "one play" that Scott could run was taken away? Also, is 5 for 26 better than Hester was getting that game?
