I like his heart and motor. A year on weights and he will be able to run though more people. They will also work on his hand strength and ball protection. With his competitive spirit, he will do what is asked to improve and then some.

Why isn't Banks playing much? Pruitt says he falls forward after the hits and not backwards! Runs hard like a John Kelly, but isn't used much? Another questionable thing from this coaching staff.

I guess he didn’t have a good week of practice.

Banks watched the uga running back pop a spin move in Bains face when Bain had him dead to rights for a 3 yard loss...ended up gaining about a dozen instead of losing 3...on 3rd down no less. Couple plays later Banks gets his touch and tries the same spin move but doesnt secure the ball. Fumbles, and instead of a 24 to 12 hard fought game...38 to 12 looks like a blowout.

Very freshmen mistake to try and copy the other teams player. Just play your own game, kid. Keep your head down, feet churning, and pound the rock.

Talented kid, but he shouldnt touch the ball for a while. Neither should Jordan, he NEVER follows his blocks and goes where the play is designed. Cost us a safety last week.

Chandler, on the other hand had a 35 yard TD, and ran hard all day. He is an SEC back..and outran Ugays entire defense today. First time we have done that all year.

Would be more concerned about why 8 isnt getting more touches. Hes the best offensive player we have right now.

Banks will be fine in time but you cant trust him with the football right now.

He is not good at catching passes out of the backfield.

Speed kills and Chandler has it. Certainly should see more touches. We don't have much speed on this team anyway. Still yet I saw real improvement on the D line today and even the O line wasnt that bad and thats against Georgia

Hes not the 225+ lb RBs Pruitt wants. But you dont have to be that to be a good RB and he happens to be the best on this roster.

It's a head scratcher

You mean the guy who's averaging over 6 a carry and can take it all the way on any given play? Ridiculous.

I wouldnt even say because he fumbles a lot.

I would say because he fumbles a lot and acts like he is hot stuff, a lot.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the fumbles. That would be my guess...

On a serious note, though, I like him a lot. He needs to learn to wrap it up tight, but I love the attitude and toughness.

Fumbles, Fumbles, Fumbles! Second best back behind Chandler right now, deserved to get his shot and has , but has hurt about as much as he has helped by turning the ball over!
