aucanucktiger 1,789 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 IMO Gus is not so much stubborn as he historically has shown he'd rather flirt with disaster early in the season than reveal large chunks of his playbook early in the season. Since his Tulsa days, his Septembers have been very, very vanilla offensively, almost stupidly so IMO. Gus loves including in the game fabric plenty of pass plays to RBs. Jovon is a RB with WR hands.

AUFAN78 3,889 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Roc is 8th string. With Johnson Please. Bunch of hammerheads on here today I thought the same thing when some question play calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarTiger 3,896 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 tre mason wasnt as great his first year on the field either. barber will get stronger as the season goes on. so far they are keyed onto him since johnson cant run. he has done pretty darn well for limited holes to run through That's not really accurate considering there were 3 players on the team that got more carries than he did and combined for over 2000 yards. In his 2nd year first as the primary back (2012 one of the worst seasons in Auburn history) he had 1000 yards rushing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully to Beasley 643 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Jovon will be scratching fleas in Gus' doghouse for a while, as he should. Shenaningans like thiis last year with players disrespecting coaches led to our poor finish IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,388 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think jovon wanted to play, but he was only suited up as an emergency and Gus preferred to give his injury more rest as they know they are gonna need him later this year. I agree with this as the most plausible scenario. The positive spin on Jovon's reported behavior is that he really wanted to get in the game today. But he's also got to defer to the head coach, not run after him yelling. i agree with both of you guys. Seems very plausible, eager and unwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait for it... my biggest beef with today's game was the obnoxiously vanilla gameplan on both sides of the ball. There were plenty of things to have a beef with but Gus slow plays the first few games of the yea - particularly with these type teams. It was horrible and almost cost auburn an historic loss. This was all about lsu and beyond ... And I hate that philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well, Gus is officially a stubborn A$$ so I wouldn't be surprised He can afford to be...he has a multi-million dollar, multi-year contract....being in the hot seat is not much of a problem.

AUMikeP 16 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 While i am proud of Peyton , he just doesn't have break away speed . He is one hell of a tough runner and i thank God we had him today . But if we are gonna beat the big boys we're gonna need more than 3.1yds/carry . Somehow we have to get Jovon in the game . I'm pretty sure Robinson doesn't have home run speed either. Barber averaged 5.4 today, btw. I'd rather have a 5.4 yd average without 40 yard runs. Means he's getting good yardage every carry. Just before the half we were at 3.1 per carry.....I'm still happy we have him so don't get me wrong! Okay, but there is a difference between "we" and Peyton Barber. Not saying we can't use help, but nothing to complain about with PB. He's clearly the guy. Good grief . Why do people get so defensive ? I said I am happy we have Peyton on our team . As of now , I am ecstatic we have him. But it is a fact that he had 10 carries for 31 yards in the first half . All I'm saying is we will need more starting next week .

Wait for it... So you think this poor offensive performance the last two games is just Gus being vanilla? JSU out gained and outplayed us today, took us to the wire. I don't see that as Gus intentionally flirting with disaster and holding back the offense. We've got problems, and it starts and ends with the coaching.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,639 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Jovon should be getting Roc's carries. easy I agree. He should be. with the fumbles he will be. Our problem is we need some big plays and that is Roc Kerryon is as fast with less spin moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimesAU 89 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 No. Stronger as the game goes on. Reliable. Never stops driving. Falls forward. If any of you has doubts who our starting RB is at this point, I don't value any other opinion you have about our team. Sorry, but true. Gus publicly stated after the game that he's not ready to call Barber our starting RB. Just let that simmer for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
