AUght2win 6,832 Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Today was what I was talking about. 11 carries for 81 yards and a TD from the QB, 75% completion and 300 yards. We rolled Bo out a lot and ran more traditional reads. Lot of rub routes and high percentage throws near the line of scrimmage. And the little RPO rollout to Pegues/Stove was super effective with Bo being able to tuck it and get up field when need-be. I know we need to keep Bo healthy from the looks of Loy, but man, the offense looks completely different when Bo utilizes his legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loved seeing Pegues get involved in the passing game and using Stove more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So happy to see this. I'm trying not to read too much into this past game, but I'm certainly more comfortable with that idea than I was. I still think Bo's fairly different from Nick but I think he can have success emphasizing different things in that offense. He sure seemed comfortable (finally) throwing those intermediate passes on the move. I like the pieces that Bo has around him more than what Nick had to work with. I'm not crapping on any of those 2013-14 guys, but overall I think we have more and better compliments now. (And that was the case before the season, not just a reaction to Saturday.)

Bo's rushed for over 200 yards combined in the last 3 games. Last week was a career high. I think it may be our new identity. At least I hope. I think Gus was petrified to get him hurt, but we have to use his legs. We are just scratching that surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've assumed Gus was afraid to get him hurt the last year but man. Bo is QUICK when he makes the decision to run. He has good agility to compliment the quickness. Would love to see Bo have around 10 carries a game. Just like the last few weeks, Bo's running opens up a lot of things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is controversial isn’t it? His 40 time might not be elite, but to me it also seems my opinion of Bo being a true duel threat QB often gets criticized. That’s even with his recruiting title once being duel threat haha. He’s very much the prototypical one if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scared me a little on an awkward slide last week, looked like he was undecided about it when he started it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Bo doesn't have a strong. With all the running he's been doing, somebody is gonna hit him late and but him out. Then what will Malzahn do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what he will DEFINITELY do if he doesn't run Bo. You think we can beat Bama or A&M with him as a pocket passer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,043 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Anybody see him play the other night? That's what the people that said hurts uh no....was talking about. Add with everything there's levels to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you literally said "Nobody thinks Bo has the athletic ability to build an offense around his running ability." I disagree. I think Bo's running ability is probably his best weapon. And in that regard he and Jalen are similar - they are primarily runners, with more than capable arms. If we can bring in someone who won't be so precious about getting Bo hurt, or delusional about him being a pocket passer, a Tank-Bo read option/RPO offense could be killer. I'd give Bo 10-15 reads and designed runs a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTim 3,456 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 AUght, Bo is a 5 star #1 rated qb. He is not even good enough to be 2nd stringer at Kentucky ...oh wait....never mind...🐵 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
