Love me some Homer but cmon guys the defense was set up for the pass. Walton could have made those runs.

It was moreso good play calling by Richt to put some runs in

Not so fast;

Homer broke a couple of key tackles that would've kept the clock going if not for his will and balance. Dude moved the chains and that clock stoppage was critical. Yes FSU was playin the pass, but he had to out run Pugh and I believe in the next run, he broke a tackle from Pugh.

Exactly. Walton also had a few holes earlier in the game but didn't have the explosion to hit them clean .Homer hits it done he's healthy.

Mark is not better than homer injured and it's not close. Richt should've used homer more. It's a bad look to keep putting a guy out there and riding him so hard when he's obviously hurt. And it's more then just " shaken up".

Saw the replay... Agreed on his second run now that I look at it. Walton would have been tackled short of the first down, potentially wasting a timeout.

Great for Homer. Him and Malik, pleasant surprises

I was actually going to post that about that run and having to waste a timeout , no chance Walton makes it past that defender.

Walton has more vision and shimmy but Homer is a better threat in an open field. I think to maximize Homer's skills, we should spread teams out like the Toledo's and TCU's and give Homer easy lanes to run. Also give him more draws where the lanes open up more definitively. Also, get him involved in the pass game with screens, angle and swing routes. Him one on one with an LB or box safety is laughable.
