Outran his blocking a lot for whatever it was. Maybe he was trying to do too much to compensate.

Yeah, I think trying too hard was his biggest issue. The reason you gave, plus one fumble where he should have gone down but was stripped trying for an extra half yd that wasn't necessary.

If he does correct the fumbling, he looks like he has the kind of power even Bama would be impressed with.

ok let me clarify for you:

Banks looks like a better running back imo, just by the eye test. He hits the hole hard and violent. Jordan never saw a hole he liked. Yes we will all have to wait to see but if I was the coach(I'm far from it) I would be prone to giving Banks more of a look than Jordan.

agreed.

We should know soon enough. Maybe Pruitt will end up thinking someone else is better also.
Even if he does, I'd still jump in every time someone takes the trash talk too far, instead of just saying they prefer Banks.
Every single Vol giving 100% out there deserves better than that.

I thought banks looked great in the spring game... didnt get talked about much though. I also like Jordan. I think we have a sneaky good RB platoon.

Me too. I am more worried about them understanding blocking assignments and getting them adequate blocking in front. I am happy with our rotation's ability to run the ball in a vacuum.

I can agree with that better blocking makes all rbs better.

That’s how Clemson got into that group. Pruitt is building basically the same way. Go look at Dabo’s first few classes
Click to expand...

His first full class was 27th, after that he hasn't had a sub-20 class since then and they didn't even breakthrough till his 3rd full season (4th season overall).....he didn't get there with a bunch of 3 stars. He got there with top-20, top-15, some top-10 classes. He's not taking top-40 classes, like Kentucky's or Missouri's, and turning them into consistent gold.

He also has had stud QBs at every turn. He didn't turn water into wine. He recruited star players and developed them into great teams.

Agreed.

His vision still wasn't great.😎

Plus he did it in the ACC. A top 20 class puts you in the top 3 of recruiting classes in the conference. In the SEC, a 20th ranked class is marginally top 10 in the conference.

Yeah, WV was our best OL and Jordan led the nation in broken tackles after that game. Just has to get past the los. He doesn't have any "sudden burst"

Bad vision as well. Honestly missed a lot of open holes last year. Hence why Banks was utilized until he started fumbling. Expecting big things from Banks this year.

Jordan needs to continue to work on his reads and hit the holes harder. The coaches were all over him about it last season, and they worked on it in the spring. YAC actually made a tape of all the holes Jordan missed last year and they went over it play by play.

Both Jordan and Banks owned their mistakes and were improved this spring. They should be even better this fall. Gray and CFA should be full-contact by camp, so Chandler will have help and Chaney will have options.
