What happened to Wright?

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

We pulled him and started rotating Small/Sampson. Did Wright get banged up?

 

[Cartervol]

That's what I'm wondering.. He was bulldozing Kentucky then poof he was gone.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Sampson had the hot hand late and Heupel stuck with him down the stretch. That decision won us the game. Brilliant move by Josh.

Josh said in his post game interview Jaylen was nicked up a little bit

Just my opinion, but I think the coaches are tired of him trying to tap out in the middle of a drive when we want to keep the defense from subbing. I've never seen Small or Samson do that, but Wright does it every game.

 

[utvolpj]

Might just be me seeing things but it seems he needs a sub much more often than the others. He's a great back but the others seem to be better when we're running fast and don't sub.

I missed that.

I think this might have a bit to do with him being the clear cut RB1. The others are probably fighting for that spot while he knows it's his and isn't going to risk injury.

I've noticed that also.

 

[Hulavol]

These three aren’t Stephens and Henry and Jamal or anything, but damn they are good. What a fantastic weapon to have three sets of legs with the skills of this group. And as others- including JH- have said, the young guys coming up are real good too.

He has done it every game. Strange.

Wright rushed for 120, he probably exerts more energy per rush so I can see why he tires out faster. He hammers down that R2 boost button.

I’ll take more Sampson though! Absolute monster.

 

[rocketskates]

wright got beat up a little but honestly when you’ve got a player feeling it like Sampson was you keep feeding the beast.

Both Wright and Sampson out rushed Davis.

 

[77' Vol]

Sampson is a "slasher", is illusive and is hard to bring down!!! He will be a High Draft pick in two years.

 

[AthensVol2007]

Both Wright and Sampson out rushed Davis.

That’s cause Davis is the most over-hyped RB in the league. He has 3 - 100 yard efforts in 8 games. Wright has 5. Take the UF game out and nobody knows his name.

 

[amstelman]

With the portal, it's hard to believe any team could keep a trio of backs like we have. JH gets all the credit for that.

They aren't "Travis Squared" but they do make up the best RB group in CFB.

All BVS victims must enjoy! Woot Woot!

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

Sampson was just unstoppable. Won us the game.

# 6 happened

 

[MiramarVol]

Wright runs 2-3 times & needs a breather. Sampson runs, & runs & runs. Both are good but we got us a baby Kamara......

Heup foreshadowed that there is even more talent than we have seen. That RB room is stocked.

You are correct

 

[Rocky Top T]

Wright wants to tap out too much! Play Sampson

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

There was a play in the 2nd quarter when our OL was trying to move the pile and hit Wright in the back with a 10 yard head start burst.

I was worried about that friendly fire hit and luckily he didn't fumble.

I wonder if you have something here. He seems to run a little more violently than the other two.
