WeagleTheBeagle 60 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Havent seen anyone mention it but it was great to see Trovon make that clutch 3rd down catch. Awesome to see him make a big play in a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never2Yield 1,005 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Indeed, glad to see him deliver on a much needed play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berrytgr 0 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 I hate to say it but I was shocked when he made that catch. I am glad he did and that his perseverance finally payed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hikerdns 52 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Yes. Reed has dropped a good many balls in his career. But that catch was clutch in AU winning the game. I'm glad he did! War Eagle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vandelay 5 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Actually, Trovon Reed is statistically our most consistent receiver this season even though he's rarely been thrown too. Here's the stats going into the SECCG: Receiving Corps Wide Receiver Sammie Coates (6'2, 201, So.): 64 targets, 32 catches (50%), 747 yards (11.7 per target), 6 TD Melvin Ray (6'3, 213, So.): 7 targets, 4 catches (57%), 58 yards (8.3) Wide Receiver Quan Bray (5'10, 186, Jr.): 27 targets, 20 catches (74%), 191 yards (7.1), 3 TD Ricardo Louis (6'2, 215, So.): 39 targets, 25 catches (64%), 290 yards (7.4), 2 TD Wide Receiver Marcus Davis (5'9, 176, Fr.): 30 targets, 22 catches (73%), 191 yards (6.4), 1 TD Trovon Reed (6'0, 190, Jr.): 9 targets, 8 catches (89%), 75 yards (8.3) Tight End C.J. Uzomah (6'4, 258, Jr.): 16 targets, 9 catches (56%), 146 yards (9.1), 3 TD Brandon Fulse (6'4, 263, Jr.): 4 targets, 1 catch (25%), 5 yards (1.3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU Ivory_dealer 2 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Heard D. Craig's interview on AU network and he said he was so happy for Trovon and after he dropped that ball against UGA he had tears in his eyes. He said before the last two games he had tears in his eyes. He needed that and deserved it. Guys like Trovon are a good story of the up and down emotions that we've Ll been through but his is personal and I'm glad he knows he was a part of our team of destiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdofPrey76 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 For some reason, TR hasn't been the same since his freshman year injury. Before that, he had a very bright future. What a shame. Glad to see him get a little recognition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Despite his size, he's a hell of a blocker too. I know his career hasn't turned out like folks thought it would (or like he thought it would), but he's worked his tail off for Auburn. I'm glad he'll be back next year.

ClawAndTalon 0 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 If we were an NFL team, Reed would be that 3rd checkdown slot receiver of which you have no idea why he doesn't get more PT or passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Despite his size, he's a hell of a blocker too. I know his career hasn't turned out like folks thought it would (or like he thought it would), but he's worked his tail off for Auburn. I'm glad he'll be back next year. Amen. Also, he's never been in a remotely decent pass offense. He's in an amazing offense now, but nobody's going to confuse it for a passing offense.

AU Counsel 64 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Trovon got lit up on his only drop this year, so it's understandable. And I agree, his injury seems to have robbed him of the explosiveness that made him look so special before. Cam was very impressed with Reed when throwing to him in practice prior to the injury.

cole256 17,084 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Biggest bust in recent memory, five stars, one touchdown. Westerman. 5 star couldn't earn a start when we weren't that good on the o line last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,192 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Anybody who thinks he is a bust hasn't looked at his total game. He has done a great job of blocking on a running team. He will surprise people next year when he catches a whole lot more passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TexasTiger 55 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Biggest bust in recent memory, five stars, one touchdown. What's your football pedigree? It's so easy to criticize these young men who lay their bodies on the line for our enjoyment. To even have the honor of 5 stars behind his name is a great achievement. Be careful with critiquing shortcomings. You could be in that line one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autan 753 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I agree that was a very difficult catch. That play and the TD catch by Coates were clutch and critical. Hope we get WR play like that in championship game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexava 6,973 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Not a bust. Just not what we hoped for. Maybe our fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,776 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Freshman Marcus Davis has made some critical catches in situations where Reed might have been expected to be on the field. Maybe it's just taken this long for Reed's "light" to come on? Be that as it may, that was a super catch by Reed at a critical time in the game. Kudos.

Be careful with critiquing shortcomings. You could be in that line one day. Reed is unacceptable, obviously chizik didn't figure that out and Malzahn did. Marcus Davis outplayed him from the first pass attempted, and already has better numbers. A blind man can tell he's not a starting wide recievee in the sec.
