Has anyone notice the way Ralph has been running in the last two or three games? It looks like he goes into the line and squats down or gets happy feet like Dixon did two years ago. If he is trying to read or look for a hole, he is missing it because his numbers down. 55 yds on twenty carries?

if the defense keys in on Ralph then our backs are going to have big games. That's a big reason why Perkins had a nice night Saturday.

It's a lot harder to find a hole to run thru when there's an extra defensive player or two focusing on the run.

We'll run the play-action deep post to Arceto at least once every game now. Whether we convert it or not will be one of the biggest factors in the game. By my memory we're 1 for 3 on it: INT at LSU, TD vs GA, incomplete vs UAB. If you're the opposing coach, do you keep a safety deep to guard against that based on those results, or do you use that man to stuff the run?</p>

he was in previous games. Maybe UAB's front four is better than we think but I was more disappointed in Relf's running than his passing.

Our running game opened up alot in the second half when Brigone came in. I think you will see Relf get 80-100 yards against UK this week with JC back in the starting lineup.

If you didn't notice the UAB defense was keying on him. Maybe he was a little tired, it takes a toll on you running the ball as many times as Relf does.
We did not have Ballard in there, which made a difference until Perkins started running well in the 2nd half. I also think Dan held out a few plays for the next few weeks.
I expect to see Russell in for a few series against UK.

Marcello tweeted something pretty interesting. Before JC returned and while he was out, we were 4 of 17 on scoring drives. When he returned, we are 5 of 6
