What's tHogRant's take on AC3's recent struggles? Seems like it's more of a mental lull than something physically bothering him. The butter fingers and at times lack of that trademark shiftiness and vision... I dunno. Seems like something is up with him - maybe something personal? Maybe it's a known problem and I'm just unaware because I'm old and out of touch.

Just hasn't had it the past couple weeks. JWill is the more physical runner and that's what is gonna get the yards when the o-line isn't performing on the level they have been. I wonder if it's the weight that AC3 put on. On one hand he's much harder to bring down than he was last year, but he's lost a bit of the shiftiness.

All in all I'm not worried about him though. JWill is just the better RB and it's showing against great run defenses.

This was my line of thinking, mostly just because it seemed his head wasn't in the Bama game at all. He herp derped a field position TD to Bama and was pretty much done after that. He didn't seem nearly as out of it against Georgia but was still fairly ineffective.

He looks like he may be playing with an injury to me. In the first two or three games, I thought he looked just as quick and agile as last year. It seems like he's moving and cutting a lot slower now.
