AURex 1,994 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 KP is the man! From the time he committed to Auburn, I was on this guy. Even when they had him in another position, I was on this guy. HOWEVER, I sure hope they spell him occasionally. Give the young man a breather now and then. And complete enough passes to keep the D from teeing off on him. If JS can drop back without getting smothered, find receivers who can run their routes and actually make catches, KP will have a big night. WDE!

McFU 205 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 After watching that video the thing that caught my eye was that KP doesn't need a huge hole in order to bust through. For example, the play against Ole Miss where he just seems to appear from the scrum and take it to the house. I wonder if his time as an H-Back has given him the patience to find the small hole and cut through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest he's not getting subbed out unless he's hurt. he may have 20 carries in the 1st half. I wish I was joking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pettway is very good about pressing the LOS, forcing defenders to commit to a gap, and bouncing it outside for chunk runs. He did it constantly last year. His footwork and lateral agility are impressive for a guy his size. But his vision is as good as any RB we've had in some time. He and Tre Mason were very similar runners in that regard.

He and Tre Mason were very similar runners in that regard. Very good observation, and that ties back to what @Tiger was saying about KP's size coming into play when he gets to the 2nd level. In other words, he's not going to run through Dexter Lawrence. But if he can move laterally and get northbound, then he can make some things happen. That's still a big ask, though, because that entire DL is stout. I agree that it might take some quick passes and sweeps to neutralize that DL somewhat and loosen things up. But I also agree that we'll likely need the best version of KP. I cursed loudly when KJ got hurt and I continue to curse loudly every time I think about it. I'll not commit those words to this space, but it seriously might end up being a difference maker in this game. We're going to need extra blockers in there. Some of these less talked-about TE/HB guys might really leave their prints on this one. I love Cox to death and I see him having a role in the passing game- maybe we even get some sweet shovel screen action going?- but his blocking hasn't exactly been Prosch-like.

ausoldiergrad 57 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 150+. I think he will likely go close to 200 imho, because I expect KJ to be in street clothes. I'm thinking 34 carries for 182. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Sean White's absence bothers me even more in terms of it being a potential difference maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that the Clemson trainers run out of Tylenol after the game when trying to stem the massive headaches those Clemson players and coaches have after a night of Bubba brawling. He should be the poster child for any over the counter headache remedies out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I'm more concerned about our #2 RB than Bubba. I like Kam Martin in open space but he fumbles too much and doesn't pass catch well for my liking. I'm hoping for more of Bubba / Miller 1-2 punch at RB.
