What a performance by the RBs and the OL, and against the best run defense we have on our schedule! Wright is elite and Small/Sampson are great too. If Milton is the guy going forward, I hope we continue to see genuine read options. Milton looked best when he was running with purpose and rolling out on PA.

DL has proven they can win football games. Gritty performance by the OL, defense, and special teams!

Not sure how much more OBVIOUS it could be that J. WRIGHT should start every game and get 2/3 of our carries instead of 1/3.... he still averages over 100yds per game and about 8yds per carry?!?! Those are ridiculous stats. He will be drafted in the top 3 or 4 rounds. By far the best RB we have had at UT since Kamara...and he is much more polished than AK was in college too.

Great running today by the backs. Milton is trash I'm sorry. I can't keep giving him chances he isn't it

"Trash" is rude! Just say he performs poorly, but "trash" shows ,apparently, poor use of terminology. He is a football player who is a long way behind his predecessor. Workable when game plan is easy. Please remember he lost his best receiver in Bru. New guys made baby steps forward today.

I would say ‘average’. He is good at reading the defense and getting in the right play. Once the ball is snapped he is slow to make the quick decisions.

But guys got to catch passes when he gets it in their vicinity. Johnson was throwing up some garbage and his WR were sliding and grabbing up errant throws all day.

We got to get calls when our recievers get grabbed and groped as well. Heupel needs to be in the officials arse! GBO

He had 19 carries tonight to lead the team
He's still fresh in the 4th. I love the split for the RBs. It's working out great every week

Wright is an absolute monster. He is the far and away #1 back.

This. I’ve had to roll my eyes a little at everyone this season who’s said Sampson is our best back (I’m very high on Dylan as well; he’s fast and dynamic, and is only going to get better) while ignoring Wright. I thought he’d have a breakout year and he is. Runs violently but also smart, quick, shifty, good top end speed. Really impressed with how he’s been developed.

We need to keep the rotation going. It’s keeping Jaylen and the rest of the fresh. They all can produce. GBO

Fans like this is a reason Nico should consider finding a more supportive fan base. He is going to make mistakes next year and this is what he has to look forward to.
