"I didn't think he'd have the day he had, but the guy is a good running back," Hawkins said. "Links of London see why he's one of the top candidates for the Doak Walker Award. He'll have a great year." When asked to grade the run effort, Hawkins gave it a B-. "We missed a lot of tackles today. That really hurt us in the run game," he said. "We'll get to practice and work on tackling a lot Links of London Big Rock 'Diamond' Ring Charm. We've got to get the feel of in-game tackling as opposed to practice tackling. Got to make our tackles and wrap up." Meanwhile, quarterback Kyle Parker had an up-and-down day. He missed on his first five throws and completed 9 of 17 passes for 170 yards, two touchdowns and one red-zone interception, thrown into double coverage in the end zone. "He's smarter than that," Swinney said. "The (defender) did a Links of London Dome Jade Charm job baiting him and dropped under the throw. It's his job to manage the game. He's got to come away with points there." Tailbacks Jamie Harper and Andre Ellington were an impressive duo, combining for 224 rushing yards. Ellington finished with 122 rushing yards and two scores on 12 carries, while Harper had 102 yards and a rushing score on nine carries, adding an eight-yard Links of London Gingerbread Man score.
