The Freshman and Sophmores seem to give this team an identity. The Jr and Sr are key to rebuilding the program, but I have a good feeling about this set of underclassmen as they continue to grow up.

Butch has got to get out of that old school mentality of waiting to play your freshmen at times. If they are close to even at a position you play the younger guy for sure. Warrior, Byrd and Callaway all for sure need their time. Kelly should've been getting touches. Two posters(me and AV_12) have been huge fans since we watched him versus Kentucky(my game I saw what I needed to see). You do not hold young players back. Kirkland last year was another example. Play these ball players and be done. Osborne is up next and needs time on the outside. Damn a nickel position put him on the outside.

Good win. Defense with the shutout. I figured we give up a score other two. Some of the young guys look good.

Biggest win today was the razorbacks stomping a mud hole in the Gators.

Don't end to worry about the Gators losing another one. Need to take care of our own business. I hope the cloud of last week may be lifting.

Agree with this. It's like Butch has this ideal progression he wants to see and often waits too long (IMO) to insert guys into the rotation.

I'm for UK to win this one. They will never be a threat to our program but UGA is struggling and I don't want Smart to ever get that plane off the ground. Let the losses pile up on UGA. Better for us in the long run.

On a related note, McElwain's offense is not putting up points. Next year with less talent on D looks fun.

If I were to critique Butch, this would be my main problem with him. You have to play your best players, and get them on the field. how many games did it take before Butch realized Hurd and AK needed to be in the game and now we finally are seeing what Kelly can do.

I saw Kelly his freshman year. Had a burst the others didn't. Kamara is special and Kelly is better. IMO you can't limit yourself. Put Kamara in the slot and use Kelly some with them both on the field. Before lightskin Leroy(Hurd lost his mind) you could've used all three together due to all being viable pass catchers and Kamara being effective as a route runner. They limit themselves entirely too much.
