Holloway

[Really Clark?]

Since we removed the blocking back from our offense, we have only had one year where our RB was effective the running the ball and that was J-Rob in 2014. We also had our most experienced and probably best O-line that year.

Holloway is a great weapon on swing passes and outside runs. And you have to give him a couple of carries on the inside to keep Defenses honest. But 15 carries and the majority being on the inside zone read is comical.

Wasn't the blocker removed for Ballard and Perk in 2011 & 2012? Both went over 1,000 yards

I would love to see Holloway and Dear switch positions

I would too... now. Holloway started out as a slot guy that couldn't catch so we decided to hand him the ball, that led to his position change to RB. Now that he has cured his dropsies over the last couple years I think we can move him back.

The only reason that Dan played Holloway & Shump as much as he did is b/c he didn't want to wholesale change his entire backfield in one game...only logical reason. He was almost in tears postgame talking about DWill so that just shows you he hates not playing senior b/c "they've bought in, whatnot" when it's their time. So, now that we have settled on the younger QB, next step is wholesale change of the RBs. Dan eluded to this last year vs Mizzou when he played Shump more than he should've b/c he was steady reliable which you only get in dan's eyes through age. If Dan is in tears on DWill, wait to see how choked up he gets in a postgame presser after telling Shump he is getting replaced.

Playing Holloway between the tackles has proven to not work in first two games. South Carolina is awful and has an awful coach. If it doesn't work against that SEC team, it certainly wont work vs an SEC West team.

Aeris blocked well, broke tackles, hustled, etc. He was the former Mr. Mississippi who has been no sir, yes sir, humble, etc since he signed. Time to reward him.

Then reward the other 3 younger guys.

This!!

I agree. Bring back the fullback/H-Back.

Well said and I agree.

Yeah he left after 2011 though. Was thinking 2010

Aeris needs to be the guy. Bring Shump in for read option when you need 1 to 2 yards. Send Holloway to the slot.

It isn't rocket science.

What little I have coached and on a very small level it is the hardest thing about coaching and being competitive. If you are anywhere close to human you grow attached to players esp. players who give it their all.
