doc4aday 1,887 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 shouldn't Coach Porter be more than capable of picking up any recruiting slack and then some? I thought that Coach Porter was a superior recruiter over Fountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could def. be wrong. Just recalling from the articles..they gave Gus the credit. Looks like it was Harbison and Gus gave the final ok. http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/index.ssf/2013/11/chris_davis_legendary_touchdow.html Auburn coach Gus Malzahn called a timeout, and told the players in the huddle that Davis should be in the back of the end zone instead of Smith. The move paid off. "I had no idea anybody was even back there until coach called a timeout," Davis said. "Ryan Smith was back there at first and then made the switch." https://www.si.com/college-football/2015/11/24/kick-six-two-years-later-auburns-chris-davis-jr-looks-back-his-unforgettable-touchdown What's crazy is, my roommate at Auburn at the time was defensive back Ryan Smith, and he originally went back on the return team to watch for the kick, right before the Alabama field goal attempt. Ryan was supposed to be the guy who would've caught the ball. But during a timeout, we went to the sideline, and I remember assistant coach Charlie Harbison said, "Put Chris back there, because he's our primary punt return guy." So, Coach (Gus) Malzahn made the change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A graduate assistant actually suggested it to Scott and Gus when UAT changed kickers. Gus called the TO and put Davis in the End Zone. It is/was a designed play.

Yeah I read that CEJ noticed that bammer had no speedy personnel on the field and he recognized the opportunity for AU so he asked for the TO to be called.
