Seth Emerson made a good point that Kirby, while at Georgia, has actually done a good job vs. dual threat QBs when he knows what he's facing.

Stroud only ran like he did versus us in one game previously, and that was Northwestern when the elements prevented him from passing well. We were probably caught off guard by that.

B. Young ran a good bit on us in the first game, but in the second game, that was not a part of his game.

The TCU QB was a Heisman candidate and he did nothing.

None of Mullen's running QBs hurt (MSU or UF) us. It was Trask that had the best game vs. us.

We bottled up Hurts in the first half of the NCG, but probably didn't practice that much in anticipation of facing him in the second half of the SECCG next year.

We bottled up Hooker both times.

Reality is that true running QBs haven't done much vs. us. It's the guy who can throw off script all over the field that hurts us. Milroe can do that some, but nowhere near the way Stroud, Young can.
