re: Returning RBs

I see Judd and Wilkins both improving each year since their injuries. Wilkins continues to show he can make some explosive runs and Judd has been hard nosed and patient behind the blockers. The one thing I saw that kept Walton from being more successful, was his impatience with the blockers. Too often he was in a hurry so much so he didn't allow for the holes to develop.

It appears both Wilkins and Judd do a good job of trusting their linemen and allowing the play to develop.

Once the coaches let Kelly open up the running game the offense became even more dangerous against better defenses. This was just the opposite from when Bo wasn't running as much after his shoulder problems began.

The running game in this offense is predicated on the defense having to respect the QB as a threat. It creates seams for the running game when the QB has to be accounted for in the running game.

I said last year Kelly would be an upgrade from Bo Wallace, this season Kelly could seriously push to surpass JFF as the single season leader in total yardage.

I was sitting with my Bama buddy watching Kelly make a huge run during a game against Auburn. The whole time prior to that he was attempting to dawg on Kelly about his past. I looked at him and simply told him, everyone deserves a second chance. What you do with it determines who you will be.

Kelly could simply walk away with all the QB records for Ole Miss.

He just needed the right environment to reach his potential.
