Boom 14 for 107.

Give Boom more carries!

 

[SosaUK]

Please.

15-18 is plenty. He is small...and we have 3 solid backs.

 

[dcspurlock]

This. If we're gonna enjoy Boom for two more years 10-15 touches a game are plenty as a true soph.

The guy is on track to have a 1200 yard regular season as part of a 3-man running back rotation. I think we're getting our use out of him as it is.

Don't want his tires to come off.

Where's that USC poster who kept saying how Boom was nowhere near as good as that North Carolina back. I bet he has a little bit different opinion now.

I like our stable of backs. What ended up being wrong with Horton? I don't think he gets enough respect. Over 5 ypc for his career and had a couple of really nice runs tonight before he got hurt...

If your RB is going to avg 8 yac, 20 carries a gm is fine.

Yeah, @TravellersGhost, tell me about how Boom isn't as good. Let's hear about how he's too small to break tackles, because it looked like he ran through your linebackers several times tonight.
Meanwhile, Elijah Hood (the RB that's supposed to be better than Boom), ran the ball 16 times for 56 yards against, wait for it... North Carolina A&T.

Glad he was fresh, strong, and not wore out for the icing clock killing drive! Didja see him carrying defenders?!?! I think the staff knows what they are doing with touch rotations.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

Fair assessment JHB. However, why have King run the ball on 2nd and 8 with South Carolina bearing down on UK when you have Jo Kemp?

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Plus, to satisfy many here, they also got him touches and 20+ yards through the air.

 

[appaws]

Hood is a very good back. I would say Boom is a little bit better. But Boom does not have to be featured the way the UNC kid does, as we have two other very good options.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Where is little Ghost man? Did he go poof and disappear? Did the Ghostbusters capture him? #FreeTravellersGhost.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Boom is #2 in country for yards per carry.

 

[maysvilleky]

I'd like to see UK get the ball to Boom a little more in open space...pitches or swing passes.. I think 5 touches like that to get him to 20 per game would be what we should get from him.
