The thing with Spiller is, he is an excellent receiver out of the backfield. A matchup with a LB is what Clemson loves to get with him. His big run (that he fumbled) is obviously apart of his passing stats, but I say that you can't just look at rushing stats and say he was "bottled up". Heck, that play was pretty big if you think about it because it set up the long TD pass to Ford.

As I saidin the prediction thread the key for Kentucky was to slow Spiller down, force them into passing situations and force 3 and outs. That was the key for them to even have a chance at this game. They did all of that, however, Parker had possibly his best game of the year and managed the game very well for the Tigers. Maybe not the best game stats wise but that was the smartest game he has played.
