re: Fall Camp 2020 - Kentucky Week - Depth Chart Released

Shivers will be starter in name only. If we run 80 snaps in a game expect no more then 20 snaps for Shivers. He's done everything the coaches have asked him. Tank is not ready to be the starter yet. By midseason or around game 4 is my guess that he takes over the lead back spot. But he need SEC game reps under his belt before turning it over to him. It's been very quiet on DJ so he's either doing very well or doing very bad. Take that for however you want.

But if you think Shivers is the man because he's the "starter" you're mistaken. Like I said think 10-12 "touches" per game. Last year in the off season everyone was begging for that. So make your damn minds up what you want.

These type of posts are absurd. Who are you? Do you attend any practices? Are you a coach who's job is on the line?

Coaches get fired if they don't produce, so if Shivers is the guy I'll go with that because I know better than to speculate in absurdities like yours.

Well we have seen Shivers for two years now. Though he has some uses, it has not looked like he could possibly be our #1 back unless he made some serious strides.

So why dont we wait and see how it works out. My guess it the he is being named the starter due to his dedication. But if you know anything about the system Gus runs, you will know that he needs ONE back that can take a pounding and make yards consistently in the middle of the field. From what little I know, that is not typically a 5-2" speedster that weights 165 pounds.
