Rueben is solid and make have a good game after the Bama game, but as in the Florida game. He will not get the consistent opportunity to be a bid difference b/c he is the foruth option and frankly, Jordan does not yet have the offense down to check his third or fourth options from the pocket and with the O-line play. Granted, our receivers looked good against Auburn, but Auburn's defense this year is not what is has traditionally been in the past. Against Bama, Jordan will need to be rolled out the pocket and possibly have the running back in to block in case Bama blitzes from the rollout side. I'm not sold on Bama's secondary so if Jordan can buy time then Lafell could be huge in this game. I'm still waiting for them to throw the fade route to Tolliver in the redzone, just to see if he has the ability to go high and get it. I think that we need to face the fact that the running is not likely to gain traction this year and more than likely will not get us anywhere in the Bama game considering Bama is damn tough with Cody and the linebacking core. So the gameplan should be to run to keep Bama honest even though we know it wont be effective, but to play action from the pocket or on rollout and attempt to test the secondary which is the weakest part of their defense. If Gary forgets the Jordan option and the Shotgun- Charles Scott draw, we have a good chance of not only beating Bama but beating them soundly. Gary jus needs to call a good game and not force Jordan into 2nd and 8, 3rd and 7 all day.

Oh and another thing... If we have given up on Keiland, then so be it, although unfortunately.
However, that should innure to the benefit of Shep who seems to be able to run b/t the tackles despite our O-Line woes. Consequently, he should get a few more traditional running back carries and see if he can be the change of pace back to Scott that is needed. It's a risk given his slight frame but if he learns to go down, he might be all right.
ALso, for the life of me, I never understand why we dont use Holliday more as the decoy in this offense. He's the only one from the backfield with experience who can apply pressure to the defense to make a quick decision on a given play. Seems he was more effective his soph. year than in the past two.
Why can't Holliday be used like Skyler when it comes to the screen game which has been excluded from the play book, but was effective for us all those years?

Our first TD to Toliver against Auburn was a quasi fade. Just not a jump ball.
