22 carries 98 yds v top ranked Georgia
Can we at least all agree the kid has guts and moves to match!?

He ran hard broke a lot of tackles isn’t a burner but is shifty in the hole. Thought he was wearing down Georgia’s D and we could have given him a few more touches. He reminds me very much of Emmitt Smith
He’s surprisingly slippery, not the fastest, shiftiest, or strongest, but he routinely turns what looks like nothing into 5+ yards.
Loved his patience and breaking it outside when needed. Loved his drive to break tackles and pull tacklers for extra yards. Loved his blocking for the QB. I criticized his blocking last week but against GA he was much more aggressive picking guys up.
Wilcox was running well also and made a good little 1-2 punch in the second half to help keep Sumo fresh. If we can get Chip and Patterson back soon, RB should be strong. Maybe Gran can help cook up a scheme to maximize that like he did with Bowden.
Not only did he run well, he made a couple of blocks that saved our bacon. Without those, this game would've been no contest.
Glad someone mentioned. He is a Standout on blitz pickup.
I liked that he figured out early to wait until a hole opened and not run to where the hole was supposed to be.
Very impressed with him and Jamarion Wilcox being able to run on Georgia's defense last night.
Great comments....jhe's our best runner and blocker back there...and has best hands (if we had an OC that could get him in the gameplan).
Isn't Demi our best offensive player thus far? Is it even questionable? Heck, I'd argue he is running with Walker and Dumas Johnson for best player on the team.
Zion Childress has to be mentioned in the conversation.
The kid had awesome hands. And we only threw to him once out of the backfield for an 11 yard gain. Throwing to the RB is a great way to disable a 6 man rush. Yet, we did it once.

Sumo and Raynor played great but Ky needs to figure out how to get into the in zone for some touchdowns.
Question, Could it be possible to go with more two back sets when Chip Trayanum returns and maybe use Trayanum more as a blocking back or in a Fullback type roll to help block protect BV a bit more or pick up some of those guys the linemen let waltz by them?
Yep he was great. And Wilcox had his coming out as well. Kid runs with some fire.
Both Wilcox and Patterson have looked good in limited action.
Both backs ran the ball well and didn't put it on the ground. The running game still seems to be what this team will ultimately rely on to go where we want them to be by the end of the year.
Is this a matter of call, or failure to check down more often? I'm not sure I have a good sense of how BVG is doing going to his hot read.
Without questions. And a lot of those were tough yards in traffic. He had a knack for being patient and finding the small gaps.
Very good question. My assumption is Hamden is not making it easy for BVG to get the 5-6 man rush off his ass. I could be wrong.
Stated before the season started in a thread about questions at RB. I said a lot of people where not giving Sumo enough credit. He looked very good in limited action last year, and has come out and shown he is legit thru 3 games this year. Future is very bright for Sumo. I think even when Chip returns, Sumo will maintain his place and continue to get a big workload. He has earned it, Chip hasn't proved he can produce, just like BVG.
Last year Sumo had 20 carries for 139 yards (7 ypc) 1 TD and 14 receptions for 69 yards and 1 TD backing up the workhorse Davis. He was #4 in pecking order and thought he was better than both McClain and Jefferson and maybe deserved more touches than he got.
This year so far, he had 8 carries for 59 yards and 1 TD in a half game v/s S. Miss, 17 carries for 70 yards against SC. and 22 for 98 against Georgia. He is very consistent. 48 rushes, 227 yards and 1 TD. he, Wilcox and Patterson all 3 have been good. I honestly feel Trayanum will have a very limited lease to prove he deserves the RB1 spot. Sumo has proved his worth.

Anybody figure out what Patterson's injury was and if he's going to miss extended time? Feel like we're going to need him and Chip to create a four headed monster if our passing game doesn't improve.
I think Sumo put one on the ground at one point but we immediately recovered it.
Agree. If not against them, when will they, LOL. It has to be a "get right" game, Ohio U is NOT a good football team, no matter what some suggest. They are 2-1, barely besting a Sub-divison Morgan State 21-6, beating a terrible South Alabama team 27-20, and got boatraced against a decent Syracuse team. S. Alabama's only win came against NW State, LOL.
DSK is a tough minded, hard working really good back. Got no issues with him. If OLine continues to get better each game then he will have a great year and with what he had done, Stoops loyalty might just keep him RB1 for the year.
I think you are correct. I guess I just didn't remember it since we didn't lose possession. Thanks for the reminder.
