Why Charles Scott didn't get a single carry in the 2nd half of the UK/LSU game in 07.. [after rushing for 94 yards on 7 carries and 2 tds in the first half]

What was with the ultra conservative playcalling against UF in '09?

Mine is why Russel Shepard wasn't moved to DB his freshman year when it was obvious he couldn't play WR or QB. Not that he would have been a starter but he would have had a chance and he could have lended depth to the positiion.

What's so frustrating is him essentially doing the same thing to Jeremy Hill in the 4th quarter of the Chick Fil A Bowl against Clemson. Hill had 125 yards on 12 carries through 3 quarters. We punt to start the 4th up by 11. Clemson uses 5:26 and kicks a field goal making it an 8 point game. Ware up the middle, pass, sack, punt taking up just 2:19. Clemson uses 4:20 scoring a TD, missing two point conversion making it a 2 point game with 2:47 to go. Pass, Pass, Pass, Punt, using just 1:08 for us. Clemson uses the remaining 1:39 and kicks a game winning field goal.

Sure would've been nice to give the ball to the RB that averaged 10.4 yards/carry and maybe just let him run the clock down and win the game for you. But, no. We run the ball once in the 4th quarter (with Ware) and drop back to pass it 5 times. Two 3 and outs in a row to lose the game. Fantastic.

God, I hope Cameron can fix Les Miles' offensive woes.
