re: We will feature a offense that will not be run oriented

When Ole Miss played Wake Forest in 2006 the game was stopped for a lightning delay. Orgeron put the Rebels through a full-contact scrimmage, exhausting the team. When the game resumed Wake Forest ran the ball 53 of 58 plays and beat the Rebels 27-3.

Brosette has disappointed, though I hope he can pull it together. We've seen none of Curry and little of CEH so I don't know how you could know how good they are.

How can you say Nick has been disappointing, when he played behind (2) 1st first rounders and a potential 2-3 rounder??

And people forget Brossette was supposed to be better than Williams. Last year he barely got any run. So he's either not as good as advertised or Orgeron's mismanaging the RB rotation. I'm perfectly willing to believe the latter.

exactly coming out of high school brosette was thought to be a beast and would easily take Williams carries. But Williams worked his arse off and brosette hasn’t been impressive in his opportunities I hope brosette breaks out but I’m not holding my breath

You rarely see a team rotating three running backs without taking reps from someone. LSU had two running backs mentioned for the Heisman in the last three years, so was he suppose to take reps from?

It's the catch 22 with Brosette. When he has run, he's had a couple mistakes, but also some decent carries. The sample size has been too small though to really look with any real insight.

On the flip side, let's keep in mind going into this season Guice battled injuries throughout the entire season and Williams was not considered to be near as good as he turned out to be after 3 mediocre years. Yet, Brosette still didn't carry it much this past season, and pretty much disappeared entirely after that early season troy game fumble where he only ever appeared for a few carries in the A&M blowout thereafter.

I think there was a reason they were hiding him so much, but also, still tough to judge the kid right now with such limited opportunity. If you asked anyone before last season Williams would have a good year, they would have laughed you off and pointed to his first 3 years being ho-hum. Brosette has been very quiet, and I hope he has a breakout year, but him basically getting no carries last year after that Troy game is a bit concerning. It certainly tells me they think he is nowhere close to as good as an injured Guice and revived Williams...otherwise, he would have gotten a few more carries that season after the Troy game and not just when we were clownstomping A&M.

We essentially didn't have a 3rd RB last year, just played 2 guys. Which I cant remember the last time we did that. Usually the 3rd RB has at least 50 carries here over a season, Brosette had 19.

Now another argument is the WR jet sweeps took away carries from Brosette too, which I could see.

That's a good point. My only concern would be that they ran more with the WRs because the didn't trust Brosette. Williams still got carries when Guice was playing.

Feel free to hold your breath.
Nobody would care.

shite the one time Brossette got in the game we lost to Troy and coach blunder didnt even know who his starter was and stated he would never have started him...

Its not IF you throw, its WHEN you throw. If we can't complete a 3rd and 4 slant against BAMA, when we have to, we'll never beat them, or any good SEC team with superior defensive talent. You either have a short passing game, or you have NO passing game. Today, we have no passing game.
