Todd's rushing yards would have been significantly better had he taken off on one roll out to the left. There wasn't a UT player in the same county and Todd threw a pass out of bounds for some reason. I go two phone calls right after the play.
"What the hell is he doing? RUN THE DAMN BALL"
Real good game overall for CT. Ben Tate absolutely came to play last night. That's as hard as I've ever seen that man run.
Todd has been taking some nasty hits. I wonder if the coaches told him to just stick with handing off and throwing. I would like to think the shoulder will hold up the entire season, but who knows. I do feel he will have to keep the ball a few time to be successful, but it should come by reading the play, not by design. I think he could get 2,3 or 4 yards. And that is not a bad play in the SEC. But I would rather keep him healthy.
Tough call for the coaches.
