Milroe is a cheat code if he will simply run the ball. Make his reads then immediately throw or run the ball. He can't dance around for 6 seconds then try to run after the lanes are gone. He has to step up in the pocket, make a throw, or run the ball. (Obviously Rees needs to understand this as well, and bring back the designed runs for JM)

An LSU level Milroe performance will bring this team another national championship. He's the most dynamic QB left in the title conversation.

Jase is the most pedestrian running back of the Saban era. I would take pre Saban Glen Coffee over Jase. I would take third string Eddie Lacy. I would take third string Josh Jacobs. Point being our third string or eventual transfer backs were better than Jase. (Alvin Kamara) How did we get here with Jase being the featured back ? What happened to our depth and recruiting at RB ? Serious question.

Jam and Justice need more touches. Justice is no longer a freshman this deep in the season. Dont need to see a repeat of 2017 when Saban finally cracked at half and brought in all the better younger players to save the day... we NEED to level up at RB in a big way. I honestly believe Kendrick Law would make a bigger impact at RB than Jase.

Jase was in boot at the end of the game so you may get your wish.

I'm more asking what happened to our RB recruiting ? How is a guy like Jase starting at RB for years ?

Eddie Lacy, Alvin Kamara, Josh Jacobs, etc. I mean absolute studs used to not be able to get on the field and now somehow Jase is starting for a couple years with absolutely nothing about his game being noteworthy ? How ? What happened to our RB recruiting ?

That kid Judkins over at ole miss was in our backyard, and somehow plays at ole miss now. He's better than anything we got by a large margin.

We just signed TWO of the no1 RB's in nation depending on the service you look at... how long does it take to get them on the field ? Man I'd take Justice Haynes or Kendrick Law getting a few of Jase carries in an instant.

He did need to run more. Nick even said so. The throw to Niblack in the endzone could have easily gotten the first down or even scored by taking off.

3rd and goal at the end of the game he should have run it. I guess he thought it was 4th down by jumping back behind the LOS. If you run you get way closer to the endzone to setup a much easier 4th and goal. He had a ton of room.

Against LSU he was looking to take off and it was unstoppable. We need Milroe to make the right decisions vs UGA.

With all that said Milroe can throw the ball very well. He’s way better from the pocket than ppl give him credit for. Dude can sling it.

Yes, agree to all.

He's actually gotten so much better that I hope the NFL doesn't poach him.

The next to last play when he tried to jump back behind LOS Saban was screaming his head off for Milroe to RUN THE BALL, and he was even doing a third base coach windmill motion with his arming begging him to RUN THE BALL ! LOL

Point is the coaching staff cant seem to convince him he is a deadly (even ELITE) dual threat QB if he will simply run the ball in his top gear north and south.

I don’t follow recruiting a lot, but some of the guys on here can get you an answer if we’ve missed on some running backs. I don’t think we recruited the Ole Miss rb, I believe he’s a late bloomer.

I’m with you on the young guys should be getting a chance. They look good when they’ve had the opportunity, hit the holes fast were Jase dances a lot behind the los.

I think our offense isn’t great for showcasing runningbacks. Who would have thought that Brian Robinson would have been an above average starting runningback in the NFL?

I don't think we've missed at RB, we're just not playing them. We have 3 studs on the bench but JAM is the only one getting any carries.

If Milroe would have ran instead of throwing on that last across the line penalty there wouldn’t have been a 4 & 31. He did make the last play though, as much as he frustrates me at times, damn that guy can amaze me.

Run more Milroe! Lol

I think they held him back the last couple weeks because of the leg bruise vs KY.

Fewer shots he took the better. Now look for UGA to face the open playbook with him and he will run it.
