Thank you Dan!

In his press conference, he mention how he should not have left in the "backups" at the end of the 4th quarter at the LSU game lasts year. We all knew it, but I haven't heard him address it that directly before. I appreciate him saying that he learned from it. Now if he only realizes that Holloway should not be ran up the middle more than once against SEC competition...

Dan Mullin can't do no wrong in my eyes.But as bad as in hate to say it Holloway gonna run up the middle at least twelve Times Saturday.

Probably because it was so long ago, but I'm pretty sure he addressed that right after the game or the following press conference. Maybe even said letting off the gas too early?? Some one else might remember or have the exact quote.

Nah, Holloway wouldn't survive through 12 carries. I'd be very careful putting him on the field against this bunch.

This thread is killing us in that grammar poll.

Yeah I remember a passing comment, but what I heard today was him owning up to it more than I've heard before. It made me happy, because I was wondering if he really did learn from that mistake. The past is a mixed bag with him. That being said, I don't think there's another SEC coach I'd swap with right now.

Gimmick infringement right there.

No kidding. Are ya'll doing that on purpose? Yikes

Ohh I listened to post game last year and remember him saying specifically "players learn each game mistakes that they've made, well coaches do too, I've learned tonight, that in this league, on the road, especially at this place, you can never think the game is over... I brought in the 3rd and 4th team to early tonight" my blood pressure was boiling that night, it helped ease it down, him owning up to the stupidity.

Give it a rest. Holloway was still the leading RB rusher in the Southern Miss game with a 7.3 yard/carry average.

Meanwhile, he is singly responsible for 151 yards (34%) of MSU's total offense against Southern.

Key words in bold. Holloway is effective if you can get him past the line untouched and into space. That's simply not going to happen consistently against an SEC team. Run him off tackle or on a sweep two or three times, sure, but if Dan insists on running him up the middle against LSU then don't count on seeing anything close to a repeat performance of last week.
