True Freshman Wesley Carroll took the starting job. From what I've heard, he would often audible into a zone read and led us to our first bowl game since 2000: a 10-7 boatrace win against UCF.
That was the worst bowl game I've ever been too. Boring doesn't begin to describe it.

I can stomach a defensive battle, but what we saw that day was just complete and total failure on offense.

It was the quintessential Sly Croom coached game.

Based on these flexible rules of eligibility nowadays and our politicians willingness to flex their presumed executive authority in all things college athletics, maybe we can get Tate to sign an executive order that makes Omarr eligible this weekend.

You don’t have a choice. You have to concede the loss to LSU whether you start KT1 or Parker Puckett. You risk a permanent injury to KT 1 while only risking a likely loss with Puckett. OU, Vandy, Auburn are way more important games to win!

When you start writing losses off to keep your best player healthy, it’s over.
Well, I wouldn't say we are writing it off. We're not going to voluntarily roll over and take an L up the shoot. The rest of the guys who are on scholarship on an SEC team will still try very hard to win. Our defense should be okay. We could try to run JJ Hill. Hopefully the QB would be serviceable enough to keep their defense honest. There are ways we could win this game without K1 and Fluff. It won't be easy - most teams in the country would suffer if their Heisman-watchlist QB and RB1 go down.

What we CANNOT do is put Kamario at risk of getting more seriously injured. Not good for us the rest of this season, not good for K1 permanently, and not a good look for us with other incoming players. It's like knowing your ace pitcher is hurt but still sending him out there until his elbow falls off. Other pitchers might think twice about coming here.

Some would say it's a smart play to sit him, IF he's hurt as bad as people think. We will see I guess.

That was the night my hatred of UCF fans began. There weren't that many of them out after the game on Beale Street, but the ones who were seemed to be c*nts. No offense.
