But until it actually happens, I’m not going to be too confident about us blowing these guys out, and I hope our players aren’t, either. We’ve not had enough success against Tennessee to assume too much in this game, big point spread or not. I want Lattimore in and playing hard.

I voted for “big” because I think that, as long as our coaches don’t freak out, we can be a good team with Maddox at tailback, and I don’t think you can vote “major” unless you think that Lattimore is going to be a huge improvement over Maddox. That said, Lattimore is decidedly better, and I’m glad he’s going to be back.

they can use Marcus for x number of carries per quarter, depending on the score. It would be nice to see Marcus resting in the third while Brian Maddox or Kenny Miles beats down the DL, then bring Lattimore in for the fourth and absolutely wear the other side out..

Jeffery and Gurley has asserted themselves as the go to receivers. Lattimore will be a nice dumpoff option, but its hard to really see him taking over the receiving game, and quite frankly I hope he doesnt… its best to keep Jeffery/Gurley and them guys happy and catching passes every game.

based on one great Maddox performance against a gassed Vandy defense. But silver does have a point that perhaps the biggest difference with Lattimore is his receiving ability. After having watched his high-school footage, I was just waiting for him to have a breakout game catching the ball like he did in the first half against UK. This is going to be an aspect of his game that Spurrier will exploit more and more over the next few games.

I don’t think you’re giving Maddox the credit he deserves. He is light years better than he was in the past. No one will compare him to anyone ‘cause before this year he hasn’t been very good. His running style has completely changed though, and he could very well be a starter on a lot of teams in good conferences.

Georgia’s defense stunk big time at the beginning of the year. Several teams worse than ours ran on them all day. It obviously took them some time to transition to their new defensive scheme. I don’t think comparing them now to what they were when they played us is fair.

I don’t think he was ever a real Heisman candidate. He’s only had one game over 100 yards rushing. People just like to talk up new players who are expected to do well, ‘cause it’s just something new to talk about, and it makes them feel like they’re witnessing history.

I hesitate to mention it, but Maddox’s yards per attempt is way, way higher than Lattimore’s. I realize a lot of things go into that. For one, Lattimore gets more tired since he carries it more, but still. Lattimore is good, but we’ll have to disagree about how much better he is than Maddox.

I think he’ll have a “Major impact” on the team this weekend and as the season progresses.
