Snell Still #3 On Latest Depth Chart
- Thread starter El Gato Calvo
- Start date
I agree he has earned the #2 spot behind Williams in my opinion. But in the last Kemp has been good and at times shown he can carry the team on his shoulders. As long as Kemp is being productive in his time on the field they should keep it this way though. Only reason I say this is you bring Snell into the game late. The defense is wore down and he has fresh legs. It will make him harder to tackle and more productive.
In the game, Benny dominated the 4th quarter. Boom and Kemp sat. Benny did not care where he was on the depth chart. Kind of like a kid coming off the bench in a basketball games does not care if he is getting starter's minutes.
What I like is that Gran stuck with Benny in the fourth.

Who cares? Wasn't he 3rd this past game. Y'all act like just because of where someone is on the depth chart makes their playing time written in stone.
Why did it take him until the 4th to realize it CC ? This deal of earning a job is bull Stooge
It takes a 4-5 years for a staff in the SEC to develop the resources in order to make out a quality depth chart.
Stop the microwaveness...

Agree with @Caveman Catfan, as long as he is ok with it then it doesnt cause issues with upperclassmen and things are calm, in the end though his results will speak for themselves if he keeps this type of play going.
This. The only thing that really makes a difference in these week to week depth charts is who starts. Lots of game to game variables in who goes in as a replacement.
Peace
I think it was time and context. Their defense was getting tired. Stoops watched us losing ground on pass plays. He knew Benny is a battering ram who protects the ball and can run between the tackles. People talk about the backup OL that were in the game, but I think Stoops and Gran know which linemen are the best rush blockers. It worked perfectly; IMO. That was smash mouth football against USC's best unit. Here is the line we are about to cross. Stop us. Benny was the perfect back for that task.
Realize what? Pretty much assumed that was the game plan. Bring in Snell in the 4th with fresh legs to salt the win. It's not like Boom was stinking it up.
The coaches im sure they don't want a divided locker room again. We seen how good that was last season.
I said assumed. Seems to have been the case. Why are you getting torn up about it? He's getting carries and TDs. He and Boom seems to be OK with the situation.
I don't think that they really update this depth chart a whole lot. Cole Mosier is still listed as the #1 ahead of Landon Young despite the fact that Mosier hasn't started or played since being injured in the Florida game, and I doubt that Mosier is still ahead of him considering that Young has played pretty well.
I think Boom was doing ok, maybe I am remembering wrong?
Agree with @catscratchfever3215
Freetax, you are correct in a normal situation, who knows how fragile the locker room is right now?
Horton here is your chance...if this game is as lopsided as predicted you will get your carries...show me somethin other than poutin
CAR YDS AVG TD LONG
Stanley WilliamsS. Williams 15 123 8.2 1 43
yep you are right...Boom should have been benched with those paltry numbers

Boom is averaging almost 8 ypc. That's outstanding. Are you trying to say that Snell should be playing more than boom or what? I don't understand what your point is.
It is probably a case of Benny not being versed in the whole playbook. Using him like a blunt instrument on the defense is easier in the 4th, which coincidentally, is when we need the blunt instrument. You don't have to have command of the playbook front to back to pound the rock on a defense late in the game. Anyway, I'm not sure that we have the whole playbook open with him in the game. Thus, 3rd on the depth chart... for now.
Is this for the USC game ?
Does it really matter? Who has played more Snell or Kemp? Granted Kemp was banged up 1 game but the coaches clearly don't mind feeding Snell. Besides there have been plenty of games where Kemp saved our butts when we needed power runs the last few seasons.
then get a better memory or try not to revision to an agenda
I am all for Stoops getting the axe, but not putting Snell in for Boom...doesn't make a valid point.

Quarterback position, with Barker out due to injury:
Johnson - Listed as Dual-Threat, 2-star with 5.4 rating. Other offers from Arkansas State, Eastern Michigan, Hawaii, Lamar and Morgan State.
Hoak - Listed as Pro-Style, 3-star with a 5.5 rating. Other offers from Bowling Green, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Kent State and Toledo.
Johnson will need to continue to play well and grow into the position. Hoak needs to be ready, of course. He's a snap away from being in the game.
Barker - Listed as Pro-Style, 4-star with a 5.9 rating. Other offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisville, Miami (FL), Mississippi, North Carolina, Purdue, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Western Kentucky.

Who said anything negative about Boom? He also had an awesome game. He is just a different style of RB. In the context of the 4th Q, going with Snell was smart.
And he is from Ohio..... I know how you love those Ohio players.
Oh hell yeah Dallas ! Glad you back man, did you copy jauk on this ? Just like UT or Bama we get a couple good ones from up there occasionally :chairshot:
