Smoke was a really fast runner who was generally misused running up the middle. He was not a #1 back but if used properly he could have helped us win some games by getting him outside or used on special plays utilizing his speed. We just used him as a back up and ran the same plays.
Because that would be the worst RB depth chart in all P5 football. Probably a lot of G5 RB rooms would be more talented in 2023.
I just don’t agree. Was it jacked up? Yeah. They didn’t have normal season prep and some people here or there had to sit for testing even though by then we knew there werent risks for that age group but they still got in 10 games and they were all sec games. If somebody only got to play a couple of games or something I get it for that player.
The only argument for it is ‘it isn’t fair to these particular kids that the season was weird’. But by doing this they’ve taken away from kids in the 4-5 classes that came behind the 20 season. So that argument is a total wash. It’s like everything in life there is a take to the give it’s not just a blanket ‘everybody gets something’
Isn't Jefferson 215-220ish?
And I wasnt referring to only have three they're just going to take 95% of the reps!
With the way players have been coming back from injury recently in the NFL and college I don't necessarily see his injury being a negative unless he is majorly behind schedule.
Yea that's a big no there! Yea I'm not seeing that in any way shape or form. There is literally no way anyone can logically believe that either!
You just never know with injuries. Sometimes the injury is healed but it takes awhile for the player to trust it .
Love the 10 game SEC schedule though. None of this coward bs 3 to 4 ooc cupcakes. Real football.
Smoke averaged well over 5 yards a carry here.
That's not nothing

Count me as 1 who hopes we don't plan part of our 2023 running game on a 6th yr 1-aa guy with a rebuilt knee
Totally agree. We need a big time transfer or at the least a big time HS guy to be the primary guy. We usually need about four ready at the least anyway. So the big time guy, the rebuilt guy, McClain and Wright would be four. Would not mind one more that is fast so if one or two go down. No more CR, we could have more injuries than used to at RB.
I really appreciate his work here at UK. I wish he wasn't transferring out, but I don't know his situation or goals in doing so. Hope he shines at his next location, as long as we're not playing against him.
He's definitely in the UK name HOF

Are you referring to their post on HOB that's not on this forum? That's on another forum that has a paywall?
Smoke was used incorrectly in my mind. He was more an outside the tackles scat back than an inside the tackles bruiser. It didn't help he had a bit of fumbleitis, and a strong breeze could knock him down. Still, he played hard, and that's all you can ask of a kid. I enjoyed watching his runs, and I hope he lands at a place that can use him.
Still think he and Chris Lewis may join Sumrall at Troy. That's just a guess BTW.
