No he didn't.

Watch the game again. Running game sucked in part because Hill was a different back than we are used to seeing.


Watch the game again. Running game didn't suck, we just weren't able to utilize it.

Go back and watch the BCS title game from January 9, 2012 and you'll see the most scared and rattled QB performance in college bowl game history.

Hill pplayed fine after the fumble.


No, he didn't. His YPC was less than half of what it normally is, against a shitty defense.

Hat Tricks, so you bench one of the leading rushers in the SEC because of one fumble, but you leave Mettenberger in the game after 3 picks and should have been 4? Hmm, I guess you would another Miles apologist. Are you saying, in your infinite wisdom, that you agree with benching Hill, but leaving Mettenberger to kill our hopes of an win in Oxford???


You really think putting in a freshman QB on the road, with barely any playing time, is the same as putting in other running backs with significant playing time, some having even started games before?

I hate on Miles ALOT. But AT LEAST he was straight up. Dude can't win for losing sometimes.


good post bc you do hate on miles a lot but this is a fair statement.

hanagriff pointed out afterwards that miles always steps up and accepts blame. coaches dont get fired they find another job. he takes blame for losses and player mistakes.

i don't have a problem with hill or any other back sitting a bit when he fumbles. hilliard came in and had success. they just so happen to be on those INT drives.

would love to have those three drives back.

miles did make it sound like the players didn't take it one play at a time and tried to win the game on a single play over and over. (i guess like a batter always going for fences). that the players felt we should've been up early.

it was hanagriff who again ponited out that the players probably heard how banged up ole miss was and maybe they made them out to be an easier opponent.

that was probably partly what miles was talking about during the press conf. maybe he didn't bring the same intensity to players or portray every opponent as tough yada yada

by that logic, Hill should never come off the field...ever. i mean, Hilliard, Magee, and Blue should have turned in their jerseys a long time ago.

You know Hill was back in the game at the 12:00 minute mark in the second quarter?

No.

And yes, I wholeheartedly believe that the safeties would have bitten more on playaction with Hill in the game.

(I also think that at least 2 of the 3 picks should have been completed anyway. They were poor throws and Beckham was open.)


So which is it, playaction didn't work because Hill wasn't in the game or playaction did work but Mett made bad throws?

I guess Ole Miss wasn't respecting Hilliard's 5.3 ypc.

C you change your opinions more so than your "favorite team" of the month (when your original team starts to suck). You have no loyalty whatsoever.

Yeah, he couldn't break a long TD run because he didn't have the opportunities to run the ball in the second half when we were trailing by 17.

Watch the game again. If you don't agree Hill ran scared, or quit, you are a bigger apologist than I thought you were which is damn near impossible.

Maybe one of Hillard's 8 yard runs could have been a 20+ yard run for Hill. Maybe with Hill in the game on those play actions, there would have not been a safety withing 3 steps of Beckham.

Who knows, but this isn't second guessing. Go search the "Scoreboard" and you will find that I kept asking why is Les stubbornly keeping Hill out of the game. I called it when it was happening.

Good fricking argument. Who am I apologizing for? Hill ran like Hill, without breaking a long run. In the second half we only ran the ball in the red zone, his opportunity to gain yards was limited. He was still hitting the hole hard and making decisive runs.

Oh wait, Roger the know it all said Hill quit, it must be true.
