Speaking of wide receivers, I love the way Eli Stove runs the ball. His effort on the speed sweeps is outstanding, and I feel like he squeezes every possible yard out of the play. It’s too late for this year, but I hope Stove and the other freshmen wideouts will be a much bigger part of the AU offense next season.
I also love the way Eli runs on those speed sweeps; there is no hesitation, he hits the hole wide open, and runs that way until someone tackles him. I have been impressed with Ryan White's hands all season, but even he dropped one Saturday. I think the Kam Martin's miss bothered me as much as any of the drops Saturday, because not only would it have been a big gain, I just didn't see the effort to catch the ball, it went straight thru his hands.
