Why not Horton inside the 10!!!???

Love Boom and all...but he's Mr. Stop-Start...that's NOT what works when you need a tough 2 yards.

That sequence of 4 plays from the 2 yd line completely sums up the offense of Kentucky all year.

Yeah that's a mystery, with Boom's elbow I would have gave it to Horton.

I don't think Dawson really wanted to score there. Horton x2 would have punched that in. Instead we get jack nothing.
And it's all on Dawson

I don't want Boom as the primary guy inside the 10 healthy elbow or not. His method of running off tackle is 1) get the ball 2) run up to behind a blocker and stop 3) look around for an opening 4) burst through it. Worked decent against Auburn, but it's NOT the way to run when tough yards are needed in short yardage situations.

If you're going to have 3 backs, why not a FB beside QB strong, Boom beside him weak, and Horton in the I (pistol). Then you could have a cross-fake to Boom one way, bring the FB across to kick out for Mikel going off tackle away from the fake?

Incidentally, that reminds me of another beef I have with Dawson -- when your O-Line is weak, why would MISDIRECTION not be a major part of your running game?

Horton doesn't run as well out of the shotgun I guess.

TOTAL TEAM STUPIDITY
SHOTGUN FROM THE FREAKIN ONE YARD LINE

FOR CYING OUT LOUD???? DID THIS IDIOT DAWSON NOT SEE HOW THAT DID NOT WORK LAST WEEKEND???? JEZUZ H KEEERISTTTT!!

 

[Cats_2010]

Our coaching staff is full of clueless idiots!!!!!

Well, we had it at the 2, actually had QB under center and in the Power-I.

I started to jump for joy!

...then, we called a timeout to allow us to go back into shotgun. 2 plays later...PICK.

At this point, all I can do is laugh. Have no more tears left. It's been a long, hard road since 1977.

I was thinking the same thing...just run the damn ball over Vandy or play action to TE in flats...but instead we decide to go 5 wide and throw it around with no room. Priceless coaching.

Had it at the 6. Shotgun handoff to Mr. Stop-Start on 1st down again!!!!

Shockingly, no gain.
