no more talk of a new coach

True, but Meyer left the UF program in a lot worse shape than Donnan had left with UGA.

ya know.. if you have him doing the one thing he can do at RB.

He's the one who saved the game. His touchdown changed the flow and gave the rest of the team the motivation to pull it out. The kid is amazing, but I really wonder how well that would work against a harder defense.

I hear ya Rdawg, but Samuel straight up the middle against any defense is a 100% better choice than Samuel on a toss sweep or stretch play that has him running east-west. He's only skill at that
position is to be a downhill runner, and once again I'm happy that someone figured that out (after 7
games).

I have been saying that all year. RS is a much better between the tackle runner. My only knock on him is that he is a heads down runner and didn't hit holes hard enough. RS runs where the hole is suppose to be. Most of the time the openings have not been there. Against UF our O line was able to move their D line enough for RS to run into the holes. And he did hit them hard. IC, on the other hand, has better vision and can see where a hole is opening. RS and IC give UGA a pretty good 1 -2 punch.

I think we've all been saying that all year. It just took our staff several weeks to get around to
reading our posts, lol :laugh:

Great kid, average RB, perfect for the UF game in that the UF defensive front isn't big but they are fast laterally etc....you have to run staight at them. He played great and was the right player in the right "role" against UF.

Would not work against BAMA, LSU, BSU etc.....they would shut him down.

wlayton, at least you upgraded your assessment from--"Samuel sucks as a RB.....terrible. Decent receiver and blocker but imo not serviceable at all as a RB. I cringe everytime he comes in the game." to this--
