This is going to sound insane so bear with me. There is mutual frustration with Kiffin and Judkins. Kiffin believes the money they’re spending on Judkins could be better spent elsewhere. It’s evident that things are not great just looking at Judkins likes on Twitter. Judkins is furious about the o line situation. We’re gonna need to figure out something fast. If he’s not putting up big numbers soon, he’s gone

Man, that is all quite interesting. On one hand I can see why Judkins might be frustrated when he gets first contact two yards deep like today. On the other hand, I didn't see him break a ton of tackles, the ol' yards after contact deal. To me he looks stiff and maybe even a little slow. I witnessed Tulane backs break tackles, but maybe that's more about our tacklers. Who the hell knows. I can tell Judkins this much, backs are not nearly as valued as they once were, we have certainly invested in him, and I'm sure Kiffin and staff will do all they can to enlist "fat nasties" to block for him. Amazing how a little adversity sparks the rumor mill instantly.

I hate to say this but unfortunately we have not recruited well at all regarding offensive line for the last half decade and it’s showing. Our starters on O-Line are all barely 3 stars out of high school. I think Kiffin had a point and so does Judkins. 850k for 2 years for a running back is a lot but also Judkins is not getting the blocking he deserves. They are not on good terms right now

Funny how we all know the names of the guys that score the points but without the guys upfront nobody knows doing a good job you ain’t got shite.

I really like Quinshon and know he busts his arse but I 100% agree with Kiffin on this one. We don’t need to spend that kind of money on the running back position unless it’s a Reggie Bush type of player.

Bye then. If you’re that mad and need to be convinced to stay that much, you’re not worth it. The moment you cause drama in the locker room as a player, I lose all respect for you. And if what you’re saying is true, then he can kick rocks

This following what players are feeling on social media is ridiculous

Someone got to him because he unliked and unretweeted everything but he was using it as a weapon similarly to how a bunch of CFB players use it. It’s a key indicator of current situations and frustration. I don’t think it’s that ridiculous. Clearly indicated that things are not great. Instead of dancing and jumping around and having fun with your teammates celebrating a top 25 win he gets on Twitter and likes every possibly LSU tweet he can find…

Did he not watch LSU last weekend? Their RBs had -500 rushing yards.

Well in reality the only reason we had issues in the first half, or during the game, was due to the OL. Curne was getting beat consistently (what happened with Jayden Williams?), James was struggling at RG and Micah Pettus was either clueless or getting flagged for holding.

Strained MCL apparently. 4 weeks but could come back in 2-3 just kinda depends. Highly highly doubt he’ll play GA Tech. Bama is doubtful too

Our odds against Bama and LSU just went way down then

I’m inclined to agree. We looked like a different team as soon as he left the game. Given prieskorn, Harris, and and franklin all being out, we do not have a shot until they all return with how bad our rushing attack is

Downright uncanny that we can’t run the ball and yet that’s where our first team all-American resides and most expensive player by a wide margin. I can’t wrap my head around it.

Prieskorn is expected back for the Bama game and Franklin was running routes at about 70 percent last week.

The offensive line recruiting has just been abysmal. Jayden Williams was honestly the best recruit we’ve had and he was mostly considered a high 3 star. Eli Acker was playing MAIS ball before this. Probably shouldn’t have been a take. There’s a reason why Pettus was a fricking 6-7 360lb two star. He’s soft as baby shite mentally. Caleb Warren was almost a two star too. We just do not have the horses to compete against the SEC d lines. All of these guys should be in the C-USA

They will be using trigg to replace Harris while he is gone. He’s basically just gonna be a WR

Hoping we can just give Prieskorn one more week to sit so he can be somewhat productive for bama. Can’t believe that we are already plagued with injuries already.
