Dude's been injured like 20 times so far. 

he's shown his burst before. I think its the injuries plus you can see he is still learning how to read the holes/gaps

We had a LB and DB staying backside accounting for the QB and RB. It was far from a given they get that. 

I need to see an overhead, because that's not what I saw.

People saying they didn't kick the XP because of Auburn, come on now.  An XP is not the same as a 47-50 yard FG attempt.  That was just Sark trying to be a smart guy.

Honestly at this point I'm not blaming Auburn alone, it seems pretty clear he's sketchy from 45+, it's Sark's job to plan for that.

Yeah I saw the same. Anything can happen if it turns into a scrum but it didn’t look like a sure thing to me.

It looks like he's looking for no contact instead of trusting his read.

Baxter needs another year, but it  clear Brooks is the superior back by a long shot. Not sure why Baxter was the starter to begin the season. 

Is Blue any good? Shouldn’t be get some Carrie’s?

I’m really surprised by the lack of burst from Baxter.

Hope it's related to him being dinged, but he looks like a plodder today. Needs *a lot* of open real estate to get up to speed

I'm pretty sure we will go for it if 4th and under 5 every time in that range.  Especially after today.

Agree. I think Tashard is coaching it, but he hasn't nailed it down like Brooks has yet. Sometimes it's better to just hit the hole before it closes.

this game is not fucking over and all of you fucks who are declaring victory need to stuff it

sark went to sleep again when he ran out sideshow for another miss

now he has reawakened passing the ball and stopping the clock - this game requires the viking spread eagle

put 2 more balls in the endzone as fast as possible

200 yards for brooks is fantastic - and we had to spend a lot of constitution up front to do it

SCORE

I am left scratching my head on how Baxter was ever RB1 over Brooks other than his 5-star HS status. Brooks is so clearly the superior back, up and down.

I think Baxter played better in his first start. He hasn't been the same after the injury.

Yeah seems like a combination of indecisiveness and a bit of dancing around trying to make highlights, he should be watching how Brooks usually picks a gap and goes and try emulating that a bit more.

I am guessing Brooks is gassed.  

That sounds like it.  Otherwise, it’s can’t stop Brooks!  So, let’s put Baxter in.  Shakes head
