It's a minor issue that his redshirt was burned without a major result this year. <BR/><BR/>Kodi's poor performance in his first outing with free reins isn't exactly a solid indicator of his future performance either. Do you remember Brandon's first start against GaTech? (only 22/44 with 4 INT) How'd you think the rest of that season, much less his career, would go?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-88357739904003703272007-11-06T13:52:00.000-06:002007-11-06T13:52:00.000-06:00Well, I guess scoring a touchdown against Florida ...Well, I guess scoring a touchdown against Florida at their home the first time you run the ball in a game where even you (Jay) said we wouldn't win is a waste of time. What do you have against this kid? I think he's been great for this team and has a lot of potential. I also, think Blake playing special teams to help the team is good also. The man's a tough guy, and this shows his unselfishness, and he'll probably be the best one to run our offense next year. I guess the experience Kodi's gained is a waste also. After all every guy must know how it feels to throw and run for TD's in college football! I guess Florida should have redshirted Tebow last year also!AUQno4https://www.blogger.com/profile/00147140162243441072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-38306687793547272272007-11-06T12:38:00.000-06:002007-11-06T12:38:00.000-06:00Blake is pretty much stuck here either way.

I don't see how he could make miracles happen at another school considering he only has one year left.<BR/><BR/>And taking Tuberville literally is what I do for a living. I'm not a columnist. He says it, I write it. Done deal.Jay G.

I think they realized this and the plan all along was to make sure that he got enough snaps and good "coach-speak" to make sure he will stick around.KennyBanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935449516982758472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-75152319493392071362007-11-05T22:19:00.000-06:002007-11-05T22:19:00.000-06:00Burns will continue to play a small role allegedly...Burns will continue to play a small role allegedly. If Brandon gets hurt, Blake will be the full-time replacement. If Brandon doesn't get hurt, the possibility exists that Kodi will still make his one or two appearances per game.<BR/><BR/>That's a swell way to spend your first season on the varsity.Jay G.

Or does it mean that Blake Field is the QB if Cox gets hurt, and Burns will continue to play a small role?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
