I watched his bama tape, and saw the exact opposite.  Barnett took a bunch of plays off.  He makes some good hustle plays, but stands around the LoS a lot, too.

Another alarm bell from his highlight reels is about 1/3 of the plays he makes in the backfield, he's left unblocked.  He can finish plays, but he's not a guy that's going line up against an NFL T all game and have a lot of success. The Vols game plan a lot to get him freed up.
