StatTiger 3,188 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 D'haquille Williams clearly lived up to all the preseason hype, catching 9 passes for 154-yards against the Razorbacks. He led all offensive players with 5 impact plays or plays of 15-yards or more. He became only the 4th Auburn WR to record at least 5 impact plays during a game against a conference opponent from 1992-2014. The play... On this play Auburn faces a 3rd & 6 from the Razorback 18-yard line. The Tigers come out in a 4-WR set with D'haquille Williams lined up in the slot on the wide-side of the field. Arkansas responds with a nickel package and their safeties playing deep off the line. This opens up the middle of the field for a quick slant, which Auburn executes with Williams. As soon as Jeremy Johnson takes the snap, he immediately fires his pass to Williams, who cuts inside the nickel corner. By the time the safety arrives into view, Williams already has made the first down, headed towards the Razorback endzone. Williams fights through both DB's and extends his upper body and ball over the goal line for his first touchdown as an Auburn Tiger. D'haquille Williams will be a nightmare to cover in the slot this season but expect Malzahn and Lashlee to move him around to create other mismatches on the field.

Sorry, I just can't resist adding to the list: Barber, Davis, Stevens, Truitt.... the entire 2-deep on the OL... and those are just the guys who will see snaps this year...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 From what I've seen so far, my top skill-player grouping is: Marshall Fulse Artis-Payne Louis Williams Coates Again, from what we've seen so far, that grouping provides the best mix of options. Fulse's inclusion highlights what a difference an H-Back has in our run game. It's a major position in this offense, and playing Louis provides both the sweep-run option and an outside player, which lets Williams work in the slot to the middle of the field. Uzomah is a poor-man's Fulse (in terms of blocking) and a legit, large-target receiver. Ray provides another big-bodied target on the edge, and he's a hell of a blocker. Those are my next two guys.

I don't think we miss a beat with Grant in as the running back either. I expect several long runs this season from Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then throw in our 2nd string O-line and current O-line, RB, and QB recruits.... Good gracious, I hope we can keep Gus happy on the plains! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven_tiger 5 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Think of Duke as our bigger version of Anquan Boldin. He could have a monster year. 6'3" 233# in the slot??? He is a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonsDad 0 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I heard Tom Luginbill say yesterday that Duke Williams was the single best addition to any team in college football this year. I tend to agree! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBAU83 212 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 4th down with the season on the line, he is the guy. If he is the man, use him before we get to a 4th down with the season on the line - I much prefer not having to score at the end to win, prefer just have a two touchdown lead and run the clock.
