You are correct. I felt like he did a great job, but only got into games with the mop up crew.

Granted, he has shown flashes of being good, but he must be doing something in practice that indicates he wasn't better than what is ahead of him. Generally Gillislee has shown what he can do after the game has been decided so that has to be considered. Given the state of our offense, IMO Demps, Rainey and Debose are the only players who have shown any ability to score from anywhere, the idea being keep giving it to them in the hopes they break one.

He's the only guy we have that can pound it up the middle with success.

I think this team has got to learn to get more ppl involved... thats the only way you can really build quality depth and experience.

In all games so far this year, Rainey has fumbled twice (UAB and LSU) and lost none. Demps has fumbled twice (FAU and UT) and lost one. Gillislee has fumbled once (UK) and lost that one. If you're not going to play him for that one fumble, then you need to pull Demps and Rainey too. What amazes me is the inability of the coaches to adapt their thinking on game day. That's what Weis is supposed to be so good at. If Demps and Rainey are tearing them up, then great. Just keep doing it. But against LSU, Demps was not a factor and Rainey rushed over and over with very little success. Then they brought in Gillislee and he ran for >3 yards on 7 of 9 carries, with a long of 15 yards and an avg of 6.2. We were actually moving the ball while he was playing. So why, when it's working, would you pull him back out and never give him a carry the rest of the day? Now they act like... wow, we have to give this kid more carries. Well, yeah, but it didn't take anyone watching the game three days to figure that out. I'm not saying to pull Rainey, he averaged 4 yards per carry. I'm saying they should have used both. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you give Gillislee a real chance, he'll be a star.

I do recall he had atleast one fumble this year... cant remember which game. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us<http://www.gatornet.us/> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us<http://www.gatornet.us/> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us<http://www.gatornet.us> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us<http://www.gatornet.us> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
