Struggles in loss Booth totaled three carries for six yards and gathered in 1 of 2 targets for seven yards during Friday's 38-19 defeat versus Mississippi.

Impact The veteran back was bottled up behind a struggling offensive line and managed only modest yardage. He didn't break off any explosive runs nor find the end zone. Against a stout defense like Ole Miss, Booth's limited output shows the risk of relying on him when the line can't generate push, making him a risky fantasy asset unless he draws more favorable matchups or increased touches.
