B/c it's about staying ahead of the chains in this offense since the threat of pass is low. Hurd gets the 2 or 3 tough yards even when hit behind the LOS. For Kamara, those are no-gains or losses. A lot of his yards also have come against the worst opponents. My problem is when he does enter the game against better opponents, they run him right up the middle into the strength of the D when his strengths play to the outside. For that, I have no answer. He should still get more touches though whether that's on the speed sweep or plays directed outside like the option we saw last week.

Thought this was going to be about renting out a barn in Bean Station to vacationers from Arkansas.

Hurd beats them into submission, then Kamara goes speed racer by them!

Kamara could handle a few more touches but you don't want him getting nicked up.

We have so many great coaches here on VN. I mean, they can miss every practice, watch for just a few hours on Saturday, and make all of the necessary decisions for a football team. It is amazing.

I cannot for the life of me understand why all of the major programs don't start their coaching searches right here. Maybe Freak could start a "Services Wanted" section to make it easy on ADs to post openings on here.

Y'all are crazy.

In nearly every scenario when carries increase YPC decreases. This is an observed phenomenon at all levels of football.

And for the comments about CBJ... Give me a break. Let the guy fail before you run him out of town.

I think you will see more of Kamara as the interior blocking improves . Hurd get so much YAC that it is a no brainer right now .

Who started the rumor hurd was leaving and is there any credibility there?

It would be a huge mistake at this point imo. He would have to either sit out a year or drop down a division...I think both he and Kamari will look to test their draft position after next year...

Hurd is such a beast running the ball but I bet he would be unreal at linebacker...

I'd take Hardesty, Coker, and Riggs over Hurd.

Hurd had more yards his freshman season than Coker did his entire career at UT.

If Jalen rushes for 70 yards tomorrow he beats Riggs best season at UT with 1108 yards. Behind a weaker offensive line and a game left to play. Riggs also only had 123 receiving yards in his entire career at UT. Jalens already had more than that this season.

Now I did love Hardesty and if he wasn't so injury prone he could have been a beast, but in reality he only had one good season here.

Jalens on pace to be UT's all time leading rusher at the end of his Junior season, and he has a halfway decent Oline coming back next year. Think about that for a second. Not to mention, we have the second best rushing team in the SEC. So PLEASE shut up already.
