Sandberg running the read option really well. Nice sell on the fakes. 

He was great in High School, glad he landed at AU.  Definitely QB2 over Willis, has good feet and can run well, but throws a great ball as well.

I thought Miller was injured...........?!?

[WFE12 9,191]

Nice foresight by the coaches. Imagine if Sandberg didn't choose us...at this point with Gatewood out for weeks.

“Banged up” .... in other words sounds like he’s been in the doghouse

[j0hnnyRingo 1,445]

Hill redeems himself, maybe?

[CCTAU 3,287]

Hill redeeming himself?

[AubWes33 471]

Wish we could see Sandberg throw the ball a little. But I understand running out the clock. 

[Eagle Eye 7 2,535]

Hill got his fumble back ?

I like Malik Miller. I know he’s not as flashy as the other guys, but he’s stout with good feet. Every now and then you need a big back!

Damned good RB. Just hasn't been able to stay healthy. Glad to see him get six.

Free kick, fumble and Hill recovers it for Auburn.   1st down tigers.

We may just have to take your word on throwing a great ball. He's not getting a chance so far tonight.

Dang Marsh laid a lick

Hate to say it but Cord has looked better than Willis

No, he legit got hurt in fall camp and got passed by the other guys.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Devan Adams in the game at QB. 

[CCTAU 3,287]

Big man in at QB. He has been a good teammate at AU. Give him some reps in his senior year!

[DAG 33,955]

Missing the dang game. Glad we came out and showed out by the score! Based on the stats, it looks like we kept it fairly simple with the 2nd and third string players 

[IronMan70 3,277]

Vicious hit on the kickoff, FUMBLE. Hill recovers the fumble to redeem himself on his 'fumble'.

Haven't seen Tolbert, but started doing work midway through 3rd... has he gotten in the game?

Nope. This game has gone deeeeeeep into our personnel. But no CJ Tolbert (yet)

edited: he's in now.

Has a good arm, short and intermediate throws were always good.  Deep ball wasnt to prevalent in his HS offense, but he connected on a number of them.  Quick reads and quick passes were solid.

Josh Marsh  was a great underrated prospect and I knew he would make plays for special teams.

We desperately needed the depth and Willis is showing that our need was even more desperate than we thought.

That Scottie 2 hottie auburn fan dude might’ve been right after all lol

He's going to be a serious fixture in the LB rotation no later than 2020 imo.

Film junkie as well, player-coach type of situation, IMO.
