Basically. If we run across a team where Saban & Co. believe running to the corners instead of up the gut, Grant will probably see a lot of playing time. As long as we're running it straight ahead, we'll see Coffee, Ingram, and Upchurch.

ExiledTidefan said:I'm with you guys on this. Terry Grant can be an explosive back who FLORIDA would love to have right about now. He's fast enough on the outside to break away, just not the power back that is called for against some teams. Of course, no one is going to argue with what is working, but heck, Smitty is opening up big enough holes on that left side that it's almost LIKE running outside!!! UGA sure didn't know the difference.
BIG FAN OF TERRY GRANT. I'd like to see #29 get lots and lots more carries. He's the man.

If he was at Florida right now, he wouldn't have as many carries as he does right now, at Bama, and running essentially 4th string.
TG's sitting on 22 carries, their leading RB (as in starting) has 21 carries.

Which is why the top prospect in Florida this year is committed to Bama.
You've pretty much hit the nail on the head. Urban (and specifically OC Dan Mullen) have tunnel vision in that Harvin has to get the most touches in a game. It has diminished all the other talent on the team...I'm sure there are some unspoken issues going on down here on offense. Certainly, you can only go to all your recruits for so long telling them all they're all "gonna be the next Percy Harvin" before it catches up to you.TerryP said:It's a joke that Meyer is continually hitting him with the recruiting line on how he'll use RB's in his system when he said the same thing to Emmanuel Moody last fall and this spring.
He's got 4, maybe 5, RB's down there that have seen playing time. I'd bet one of them is going to be looking at a transfer just to be able to carry the ball...not to much about playing time, just to touch the damn thing!
The "luster" is falling off down there, perhaps fading is a better word...they are sitting there with a ton of talented, skill athletes and only two of the (one if you don't include Tebow) are getting the action.
Harvin or Tebow gets hurt...that season will go down, quickly, to another 4 loss type of ordeal.
Heck, a lot of weird things going on in the east.
