Pete Golding told the entire SEC on Monday that Trinidad Chambliss is going to run the football again. You do not say that by accident four days before kickoff. First, the backfield without Kewan Lacy. Golding named it in order, unprompted: Makhi Frazier first, then Shekai Mills-Knight, who Golding said is going to have a real opportunity this week, then JT Lindsey and Josh Dye. Frazier ran for 101 yards on 15 carries against Missouri and, at Texas after Lacy went down, 6 carries for 47 yards including a 34-yard run, per the official box score. Segment two: why Chambliss stopped running. Golding gave three reasons and only one is about Chambliss. Defenses built plans for him after last year, with spies and coverages that keep eyes on him. He has been working through his progressions on purpose. And there were chances at Texas late where, in Golding's words, hey man, you can outrun them. Then: I think you'll see a little bit more of that moving forward. The honest counterweight: Lacy set the single-season program records last year with 306 carries, 1,567 yards and 24 touchdowns, and you do not replace that with a committee. But Lacy ran 16 times for 36 yards at Texas before he was ever hurt. The run game was already broken with him in it. Do you want Chambliss carrying it more on Saturday? Tell me in the comments.
