ShawnBridwell 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Ontario McCalebb will be a vital part of the Auburn offense with his ability to break off long runs to pair with his efficiency as a receiver out of the backfield. He finished second on the team with 641 yards and seven touchdowns while also finishing second as a receiver with 32 catches for 344 yards and two scores. http://www.slantngo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collector527 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Omac is a real talent and we are lucky to have him but his biggest gains depend alot on getting good blocks from wrs and te on the outside, then he can actually use his speed. That was what made him so great in 2010 with all the long runs. Some people called him the biggest playmaker in the sec because his yard per carry were really high. He broke Au's record for yards per carry at like 7.5 per carry. It had to do alot with Darvin, Kodi, and Zachery blocking for him and he had all those yards with two 1000 yards runners in front of him. He really is good but to be can not be an every down back and needs the blocks to really explode. If you go back to his first year and last year you will see alot of improvement in the strenght of his runs. At first he honestly would go down at the slightest contact. Last year he fought harder and was harder to bring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,974 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 i think gus' style fit omac's abilities. we will have to wait and see if lefty has as much use for him. kick offs will still be his thing. most people mention his speed which is tops, but the first thing i think about is he never gets hurt adn protects the ball. at a buck 65 that is impressive.

YaBoyMaxWeezy 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'll be interested to see how much we use OMC now that I think we will use Mason a lot more......I think Mason is just as fast and brings more to the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPI 0 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Omac will see a lot of action this year. Every year he's been there we have had a thumper at running back. Tate, Dyer, Fannin, etc. He is what he is and has always been . Not only that, we need him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
