Maybe he could be that kind of guy. KI wasn't physically dominating, either, but he just had that crazy toughness and leg drive and somehow became one of our most talented backs of the last 20 years. Similar build with this guy, I believe. One of the toughest RB's I've ever seen. That 2005 LSU game is one of the greatest games by any Auburn RB, regardless of the fact we lost. He carried the offense. Kenny's 70 yards against LSU in 2006, for the win, was arguably the toughest, and most important 70 yards ever gained. The hitting in that game was unmatched. I was sore just from watching. lol. Love, love, love Kenny Irons. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of a single back that we've had that hit the hole harder than KI or able to get North and South as quickly. Loved his attitude, drive, and physicality. He just ran angry as hell. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straight up Boobie's first yr vs Hunter's first yr- this kid is stronger I think. Give Hunter the same time and conditioning.... I am just saying this kid is a sleeper and will far exceed what people expect out of a late offer and 3*.

autan 737 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Boobie was bigger for sure with probably a little more power, but Hunter is much faster I think. Not sure JH has the whole package like Tank but will certainly be a quality backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryland ran a "wide tackle 6" defense which left the middle wide open. They had no D linemen on either side until outside our guards and no linebacker in the middle. Sitting in the end zone, it was incredible to watch them not adjust. That was our homecoming game... when scheduled, Maryland probably wasn't expected to provide much of a fight... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I was at that game. I too was in the end zone as the Tigers beat Boomer 35-23. All 3 of our RB's played a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It maybe the reason he averaged 7.2 yards per carry for his Auburn career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the best indicators of success if you ask me. Gotta have the talent but work ethic is just as important. Hopefully these type of guys become the theme under Harsin.

You start by getting these guys and then once you have some success you start bringing in the 5 stars that also have the great work ethic!! On a side tangent i'm trying not to focus so much on stars this particular year and especially before late summer and next fall gets here. I expect to see a lot more movement in rankings this year when compared to the past because there have been so few opportunities to see these guys play ball. A LOT can change in a year or 2 for kids this age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randman5000 4,228 Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Broke Marcus Dupree s record? Wow. Impressive. Can't wait to get him into the backfield.
