Put some RESPECT on his name. Dude has dealt with so many injuries and we are finally seeing that speed and potential. The one two punch with him and Edwards has made the offense lethal. Got so sick of people dogging this dude when he was hurt as if he was choosing to be hurt. Well, now he's healthy and putting up numbers.
6.3 per carry with 7 Touchdowns and over 400 yards and combined with Edwards a lethal rushing attack.
He had 9 carries which is about what he gets a game - Not alot but enough to be a force. He had 127 yards for a solid 14 a pop vs Ole Miss.
One of the loyal Dawgs that stuck with Georgia when he could have went anywhere in the country and started.

Saturday was the best I've seen him look in his career. It's obvious seeing that game compared to what we've seen of him in the past that he's been plagued by injuries this whole time, it looks like a completely different person against ole miss. He ran for power, showed some speed, but most importantly he showed the patience/vision to wait for holes instead of just ramming right into the line. Gotta feeling he's going to play a critical role for us down the stretch.

He had big games last year against LSU and Ohio State.
And when we were up in the 2nd half of the NCG, he let the Big Dawgs eat against TCU.
Literally.

I never dogged him for being hurt, although I often pointed out how often he is hurt, and that's fair. The only thing I ever dogged him for was his ability to always go down on first contact, the shoe string tackles, that sort of thing. Recently he has definitely gotten over that. I hereby place respect on the man's name.

I feel the same. He looked MEAN against Ole Miss defence. I'm very excited to see how he does at Neyland.

He didn't get over that last year?
Or his freshman year?
It is like people remember 5 runs but ignore the other 200+ runs in his film.

He clearly is operating closer to 100% than he was earlier in the season. Has a lot more burst and power. Great for him and better for the Dawgs.

Milton and Edwards are the best team I've seen in a long while. To quote one of the all-time greats, "Great pair, says the Bear!"

I think that is my point.
He is running similar to how he did against LSU.
The Ole Miss defensive scheme (awful stunts) and personnel kind of allowed Kendall to just burst upfield multiple times.
But take away those holes, and he still was running through people.

Having Mims back too didn’t hurt. But yes KM looked great.

Easy to forget how talented he is with how often he's been banged up. Just an enormous boon to the offense if he can finish out the season with the athleticism and strength he's shown in the last couple of weeks.

I'd bet that Milton has more 25-plus yard runs in the last two years than every other back combined (McIntosh, Edwards, etc.)
He doesn't have great top end speed but he gets to top end speed through the hole really fast.

Milton is playing his best football and gives this offense an entirely new dimension if he can keep running like that. Hope he stays healthy.

How is he not getting 25 carries?

I'm fine with him splitting carries with Edwards. Keeps them both fresh and wears down the D.

I don’t see him getting 25 carries. He had been digned all year and doesn’t need that mileage right now. Plus his counterpart is solid too.
