[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 978891, member: 265"] I want to thank Dontae for sticking with the program and for giving us such a charge in the running game as the season progressed. I don't know what the problem was for him early on, but when he came in all of a sudden we could run effectively between the tackles. That meant that the toss sweep began to work. It also meant that King could run the option effectively since everybody was closing in on Dontae. Same with the fake tosses; I couldn't believe Tech was able to sucker the Dwag D [I]twice[/I] with that play for TDs. And, as some mentioned, Haynes began to play better as well. I think this was largely due to his learning how to be an RB, but having opposing Ds more conscious of our run game made a difference too. Also Dontae coming back meant a good deal to our OL as well; like I've said before good RBs make OLs look a [I]lot[/I] better. I wish Dontae could have gotten 15 - 20 snaps a game from the start. I don't know - and probably never will - why that didn't happen. He was always one of my favorite players. [/QUOTE]
