I know he's had some bonehead moments, but he seemed to be the only guy I saw real fire from the whole game, and he didn't touch the ball until late 4th quarter. Madre a little bit as well. Are Chandler and Jordan really that much better? They never seem to show or illicit emotion from their team. I'm looking for bright spots as best I can, and watching banks on the sideline fired up after not even playing most of the game, to me, is the absolute difference in Butch recruits and Pruitt recruits.

Agree, we need 21 other players just like Banks. He should be our starting tailback. Hopefully he will be by the end of the season.

Love Banks. When watching practice vids, this guy passed the eye test. Good to see some aggression in him too. That said, you're probably reading too much into this.

Running Backs are in NO way this teams problem. I'm very impressed with how hard Chandler is running and hitting holes. Jordan looks good to me as well. Remember Jordan got blow up by media as a star after WVU, then "seemed" pedestrian. If we had a line that could win a matchup, then all four of our guys would be putting up decent #s.

Our OL sucks again. Everything built on that foundation is going to look week for the next 8 painful games before this team is put out of it's misery.

If Banks stays with Pruitt, I hope this O-line doesn’t get him killed.
Banks is one of those guys that “ Runs Angry” and takes it personally when he’s stopped.
I love seeing that in a running back.
I’ve been a little hard on Pruitt lately but will say:
Congratulations to CJP for bringing him to Big Orange country.

We need a bunch of tough as nails mofos to even have a chance to be competitive again. Banks is one of them. Need 50 more minimum.

Banks and chandler were bringing it and hittin the hole with authority. London also ran tough. After the first game I didn’t think London was cut for the SEC but he’s looked better than Jordan lately.

Banks, Taylor, Chandler, Jordan, Smith, Kirkland, Warrior, Jennings, Callaway etc... are the mold of players we need a lot more of. Richmond has improved and is fiery however he keeps getting penalties.

Rest are ............

:mad:

I like all of our backs. Being a guy who leads through actions like chandler is not a bad thing. All I'm saying is we dont have anyone really lighting a fire other than banks, and they're just the other guys at his position. Got to get him more involved.

Not playing him more early hurt the team. Pruitt said he was being punished for fumbling last week.
