Book completed passes at a far higher rate than Wimbush. Book averaged the same yards per carry as Wimbush. Yet he didn't get a chance to play more. Why? Because Wimbush is the guy Kelly wants. Wimbush completes practice passes. Wimbush runs fast. Book threw some interceptions. Half in his first ever start and extended playing time. But he was better at the end of the season than he was at the beginning. Can't say that for Wimbush.
Dexter could have helped out tremendously versus Georgia last season yet he sat the bench. He averaged more yards per carry than Adams. That in itself should warrant more playing time. Kelly just wasn't having it because Josh was his guy.
Kelly's problem is making the decisions on gameday that lead to wins. He rode Wimbush way too long last year because he practiced well. It was obvious to the entire country that he wasn't a threat to beat anyone passing the ball and Kelly ignored it until it was too late. Settled for the Citrus Bowl after falling apart in November. Again!!
Kelly plays HIS guys at any cost. Kelly doesn't play the BEST guys.
