Liggins

[okiealdawg]

Anyone know why Liggins did not play and return kicks against Nevada?

Don't know about that, but we now know the rest of the story as to why Nevada's leading rusher Mike Ball was used sparingly Saturday....

So, assuming the kid was used "sparingly" in Saturdays game because of this issue, this means Chris Ault waited until AFTER the LA Tech showdown to kick this kid off the team. How conveeeeenient!

There was obviously some punishment already going on since leading rusher Ball got zero carries and had 1 catch for -5 yards. Noticed it when Ball didn't start.

Ball didn't play at all the week before against Hawaii. Sounds like he was in the doghouse and then broke another rule or something.

Please . . . if you want to talk about going to the second, third, fourth string running back as the season rolls along (and still get results), let's just talk about our own.

Chris Ault is outkicking his coverage with every loss.

So...Nevada has been deBalled. Maybe Utah State can beat them. That would help TECH.

Thank you....that's the point of bringing Ball into this discussion. What Nevada does impacts Tech, but we didn't need a new thread just on Ball.

I love Patton, but I don't think he's the guy to be returning kick-offs. I want to see either Liggins or Casey back there this Saturday.

Back to us, thanks. I think they use Patton because he provides the surest hands with the most explosive play combination. I don't like it, but I'm just a fan. I would like why Liggins isn't in there, heck, Casey should be shifty enough for this.

Patton needs to run north and south on kickoff returns but I don't want him to get hurt because we need him at WR more... Hopefully Liggins doesn't have grade problems or something?

He's on Facebook talking about Ruston turning into a ghost town and he can't leave because of the game. Sounds like he should be playing. I hope so at least.

Coach said Casey has another knee injury

[arkansasbob]

patton is not a kick returner. or at least he hasn't been. he has sure hands and he's fast, but he doesn't know what to do on a kick return. maybe he will improve with expreience, but i would still rather give the experience to liggins or someone else.
