    Interesting, i don't recall Spurrier ever having a big bruising back. I believe he did have one RB get drafted and play in the nfl but that was one over a long coaching career at Florida.

    Anyways.... Wyatts film study is good. It mostly shows the bad. However it is evidence, Arkansas was well prepared on defense and executed their plan well. We didn't execute well. Looks to me our QB held the ball to long. Or the timing of the routes were off. Regardless we didn't execute well. Leach has to get that fixed.

    He had Eric Rhett rush for 1109 yards in '91 and 1289 yards in '93; and Fred Taylor rushed for 1292 in '97 (and then became the best player in Jags history). Outside of that he usually had 1 back around 700-800 yards or 2 around 500-600. UF really hasn't had a truly dominating RB since Emmett.
    "After dealing with Ole Miss for over a year," he said, "I've learned to expect their leadership to do and say things that the leadership at other Division I schools would never consider doing and to justify their actions by reminding themselves that "We're Ole Miss.""

    Yeah, Taylor was who I was referring to. I couldn't remember if Rhett was around when Spurrier arrived. Thanks!
