Message: [QUOTE="swish7, post: 4411087, member: 486"] If Tucker is banged up, then play the other guy. He certainly seems fast enough (albeit weak in the pass blocking game). We are playing a hurt / banged up former Heisman candidate as a decoy so that he can showcase for NFL scouts in his 'last season' while he probably won't even be 1st team ACC at this point? This does not make sense. Why would we do this? However, I had not noticed him tapping out, until y'all mentioned it. That actually is the only thing that makes sense as to why he got so few touches against Clemson. Definitely appreciate the board for pointing this out. He has seemed banged up all season, but he keeps playing, so I assumed they were minor injuries. I am not sure what he gains this year by continuing this gambit. Need to play Allen b/c we cannot succeed as a team without a running game. In the 2nd half, our last series netted 45 yards, and the 6 series preceding it also netted around 45 yards. This just will not work.
