"we almost lost to LA Tech"

Final score: LSU 45, LA Tech 14

He lost credibility five seconds into the video.

So? Does Gage missing a hole once make Durham or Berry hit the right hole ever? or not go down near as easy?


I think the point is Gage has never done anything in his career to solidify being the No. 2 RB with no consideration of giving Berry or Durham carries...except in garbage time. While not a huge amount, both Durham and Berry have documented production against SEC opponents. Gage had 13 carries for 63 yards prior to this season.

Obviously Jones is your No. 1 RB. But if your No. 2 hasn't done much what is the harm in giving some guys who have actually had success some carries in the No. 2 spot?

I’m just a woman who has never played football but the handoffs look like they’re in slow motion when Sam is the QB. I don’t think he’s doing the running backs any favors.

He does telegraph runs some with sticking the ball out so early. However, Jones has much better numbers and he is taking the same handoffs. Those guys need to make more of their opportunities. 4 carries for 1 yard is awful no matter who is blocking for you.

That’s sweet his brother is sticking up for him. My two boys are dickheads to each other. Maybe when they get older…

The only way the running back room needs to rotate more is if we get three more Dilins.


No complaints with Dillon but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't mind seeing more Berry. It's not like Dillon has just blown it away so much so that one of the other guys shouldn't get a few more snaps.

Ask yourself why the coaches aren’t playing him at all. At all.

There’s a reason for it, I’m sorry. This is an offensive coaching team that created Lacey. I would trust them. I don’t know what the reason is. But it’s a really really good one.

Because the RB coach that gets paid to determine who goes when, said Gage is up next. And he is a pretty good RBs coach.

Either 1 would be great coming out of backfield on screen pass. I could see 1 or 2 of those going to the house...... Sam needs help in the passing game. Haven't seen many screens at all this season.

He has the 2nd best avg and 2nd longest run of all the RBs so far. And he only has 15 carries vs 5 and 4. It's not like he is up there with Jones. It's more like he is just above Durham and Berry. And they are all pretty far down from Jones.

Someone should respond to him and tell him to tell Caden to stop falling down on first contact.

Maybe Caden would play more if he would actually produce.

Also, agree that Gage has shown nothing and would like to see Berry get more carries.

I’m sure Lane and staff aren’t playing the best players on purpose lol


I mean he played Simmons over Chambliss last year and only started Chambliss once Simmons got hurt. Same scenario, Lower Level experienced QB sitting while flashy name QB starts and throws lots of INTs.

Also, paying Leavitt $5-6 Million and benching him was never going to happen if he was healthy to start the season.

In the end, will be interesting to see how Kiffin handles it, especially with Leavitt’s dad putting some bigoted stuff on his social media.

Gage currently has 15 carries for 56 yards bud. Id rather give it to the more explosive backs and hope they hit the hole once rather than Gage hitting the hole and getting 3 yards.
