Remember Kenny Miles?

[sodacitynate]

Wish Kenny the best - that had to be a tough decision coming back this year, knowing he was going to be a backup. When his name was called, he played well.

[FanofCarolina1]

I'm glad that Kenny stayed at Carolina. It's players like Jarvis Giles who transferred for greener pastures and we all know how that ended up for him. I'd hate to see if that would have happened to Kenny.

Maybe do a spring game award or something for an upperclassman who may not play much, but works hard in the same way Kenny did for us.

Of course, I think he has something special for us in the Outback Bowl.

Would love to see a Ryan Brewer performance from Kenny in the Outback like when he dismantled Ohio State. Of course, Brewer had a chip on his shoulder that day to show OSU what they missed out on. One of the best bowl performances by a Gamecock in a bowl game ever. Just running over OSU defenders, carrying them on his back and flipping them over his shoulder body slam style after one of his TD's. Video of that would be sweet to see. Kenny will go all out for this game, I'm expecting.

My Dad loves Kenny. His fav on the team the last 4 seasons.

[CockyATO]

You mean the young running back donning#31? Yes I remember him, seems like yesterday...

[Lant]

I'll just go with what Spurrier said "Kenny is a very special Gamecock".

[gocockswyn]

I like the idea.

[JoeMorrisonLives]

I don't remember who asked it, but Kenny Miles has played special teams all year and in several games, he forced fair catches.

[jellafever]

Remember him? I haven't forgotten him? How can I have some more, I haven't had any yet?

YOU'RE KILLING ME SMALLS!

Kenny Miles has given us 5 years of his life, and I truly appreciate the fact that he saw it through......... much adversity, and many times it would have been MUCH easier just to walk away.......... but Kenny Miles never did!

Glad to see he was rewarded with another 10-11 win season........ where he made significant difference........ not sure we would have beaten Clempsux without him!

Will be rooting on him to have a big Outback Bowl!

team has done the last 3-4 years. I will go on record here and say if we
don't have Kenny Miles on this team we are not a back to back 10 win
team (possible back to back 11 win team).... Without Kenny Miles we
are not riding a four game win streak over Clemson, and Without Kenny
Miles we would have seen season ending collapses in 2011 and 2012
similar to that of the 2007 season. Without Kenny we lose to Nebraska
in the Cap 1 bowl last year. Not only for the obvious outstanding job he
did when Marcus went down in 2011 and again this year, but his ability
to pick up the blitzs and stunts. We did not have another back that was
capable of that when Marcus went down. It was also for his leadership
and his attitude with the underclassmen that made him so special.

We all praise heavily the accomplishments of Connor, Jadeveon, DJ, Alshon,
DeVonte, Stephon, Marcus etc..... but IMO, Kenny Miles was the single
most important player in this teams recent success and accomplishments.

Take Kenny out of the Mix and we are not a Top 10 Program the past
two years, and we don't have bragging rights in the State again. Kenny
was a true team player and will be considered in my mind as one of the
best that ever put on a Gamecock uniform

Thanks for posting my thoughts!

He should get the "All-time Stepped Up When We Needed Him" award.

[SterlingBrooks]

I remember him

[DiamondGamecock]

The best thing I remember about Kenny Miles. He was always happy, always content. He was always for the team, not himself. That is what made him the man he is.

The greatest backup in Gamecock History, Mike Hold. Mike Rath at Kentucky. Way too many guys to mention.

i hate erik kimerys father

[Acockolypse Now]

Miles is a beast of a player. He Maddox both stepped up when they had to, and played their role to perfection.

[behindenemylines]

How about this...Let Kenny and along with the team captains decide who wears number 31 next year. The player that best exemplifies is team first attitude.

[AstroCock]

The Kenny Miles award. Given to the hardest working non starter.

[AstroCock]

I understand that people say "well we had a lot of guys with heart in the past" but just think.... How many of them helped lead the Gamecocks to 11 wins?

[Nuke LaLoosh]

Kenny gave us something we never had before......

A bench that had quality players who were prepared to play at any moment. He accepted his roll and went about his business with total dedication to his team. The statement "there is no I in team" applies perfectly!

Kenny Miles will be a success at whatever path in life he takes.
