Favorite play from last night

[bigbird 60,512]

What play did you enjoy or impress you the most?

 

Mine was the fake toss option where Bo, instead of turning it up like he did previously in the game, pulled up and hit Hastings on a slant for a big gain.

It was beautifully set up earlier and executed perfectly. It stressed the D and put three positions in a no win situation. A real triple option look.

I liked the tunnel screen or whatever you want to call it where Prince Tega got out and annihilated a DB.  First time I've seen that type of nasty from one of our O-linemen.  Hope it carries over going forward. Grimes should rewind it a lot.

Multiple true RPO plays, can’t pick just one. Having a QB with some real mobility (doesn’t have to be Cam or Nick) really seems to make a big difference in Gus’s ability to call a game

The long-awaited and most successful SLANT! That ignited my HOPE button.

[toddc 13,194]

The play that took out the bulldog!

[aubiefifty 16,766]

I loved that play as all the other slant calls, but my personal favorite was the long pass to Schwartz on the sideline that was nearly a TD. That was an absolute perfect pass that dropped right over his shoulders without breaking a stride. I was impressed with a lot of Bos throws last night. He had great touch on his game last night. Kinda gives me hope that this team will turn into something many of us didn't think it would. The simple fact Gus is calling these type of plays for a change being a major factor.

I liked the first offensive play for Auburn.  The game was over after that.

It’s not just the mobility. Nix just looks in control and tends to make the right decisions in the moment.

The crossing route that Williams took into the endzone.

Any of the plays on 1st down where we didn't run up the middle!

Mine too. I thought he looked  a lot like Nick at that point. He is truely being able to make the calls on the field real time. That’s what you have to do for the RPO to work. Another thing is he has that quickness like Nick and Hastings had. He might not beat you in a 100 yard dash but he can plant a foot and gas it to break open.

[Eagle Eye 7 2,535]

And Bo really threw some money balls last night. That long one to Williams was planted between the numbers. This kid is going to really be good by the time LSU uga and uat come around.

I liked seeing Sal Cannella go up and make that grab on the sideline.  I feel for his size and the attitude he tries to portray that he under performs.  If he steps up to the plate in the near future like that mixed in with Williams and Hastings and anybody out of the back field.  This passing game could be deadly

[AuburnTiger4Life 2,225]

The long pass from Bo to Schwartz in the beginning of the third 

[AUsince72 11,084]

This isn't exactly "a play" but my favorite aspect.

After each of MSU's scores (not including the final garbage TD) Auburn answered immediately with a Touchdown. ....not FG's, but TD's.

They kept their foot on MSU's throat and kept it there.

[aublaise 199]

All the throws across the middle.  Been missing from our offense the past few years

[gr82be 14,423]

Being a receiver at heart my favorites were the downfield passes Bo connected on that hopefully means he has found his groove and timing with the Williams and Schwartz specifically. Exploiting the middle of the field was like Gus has finally discovered fire...so useful going forward it will change his life.

I always love when we fumble the ball and recover it ourselves. Or not fumble but we fumble a lot. 

[nixtosanders94 2,180]

Any of Bo’s deep completions...after hearing all week he couldn’t hit those...

[BigWhiskey91 632]

Mine was the corner route to Seth Williams later in the game. Beautiful pass and catch. Timing was perfect and execution was spot on.

Agree......the fumble by Nix thanks in part to a no penalty horse collar and the pathetic so called strip after player was down was ridiculous......I often wonder if the sleeves some players wear make it easier to loose the ball.

[PigskinPat 2,579]

Pretty much any of the plays involving Anthony Schwartz. When he gets the ball I get a sudden rush of adrenaline knowing he has a great shot of taking it to the house on any given play.

[JGLEATON 1,244]

Not a single play but.... My favorite play along with improved O line play and way better  HB /TE blocking....

was ALL the WR play as a whole...

probably has a LOT to do with better play calling AND QB play but...

better blocking, route running and catching almost everything thrown at them especially contested balls.

MAJOR Kudos to Kodi Burns who has caught a lot of flack when they played poorly... they are much improved and talented across the board and playing well for our freshman QB.

Midrange passing game

bo threw confident, accurate passes
