Henry and Drake with a little bit of Howard and Foster.

I think we wanted to see what Coker can do. We knew that with our talent we would win...so we wanted to pass it around and see what happened. Also didn't want to show too much with some big games coming up.


I fricking hope thats it at least. I was so sick of those bubble screens and not running the ball but I really think if we were playing an SEC team we would have called plays differently.

Henry is the workhorse. Drake is the wildcard, big play guy in the run and pass game. The problem is QB. We're not good enough at QB to be as efficient in the passing game as we have been the last 3 years, but the staff probably feels the game has changed too much to win it all with the run game and a game manager at QB like in '09. So what can you do but hope that the QB play/passing game improves with time?

Well, with Coker, it seems like it cannot be anything involving screen passes. So, lots of the running, with intermediate only throws, as he doesn't seem to be able to hit anything deep either.

Bateman, I just don't see anything successful with him. Maybe he throws screens better, but he isn't "athletic" enough to be given the "athletic" term the TV guys are trying to give him.

Long story short: Ride Henry till he breaks.

He doesn't have the shiftiness/elusiveness of BS, but damn is Bateman fast! On Harris's long run, Bateman was gaining on everyone, including Harris, like they weren't moving. Can see why we gave him a look at WR in the spring

I think this game was experimenting and trying some things, most of which didn't work. I wish kiffin would have stopped the bubble screen, it was defended perfectly every time. I think against ole miss you will see much more henry and drake, much less coker and bateman.
