StatTiger 3,188 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Kamryn Pettway has made the most of his opportunity in 2016.

kd4au 1,145 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Pettway is just an old fashion hard nosed football player.He was also a good fullback,he could probably play a lot of positions and play them well.Glad he is on our team.That run last night when he ran over the arky player reminded me of Ronnie Brown running over Jason Allen from UT in 2004. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDE_OxPx_2010 5,297 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Check halfway down that list and look at KJ... If he gets healthy, what a 1-2 punch that is. Makes me think of 2004. WDE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and a nice jump cut to get outside on his longer TD run. Not exactly shifty but he's got some moves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Limited to TV coverage, I was impressed by, on several camera cutaways, how Mr. Jackson seemed to express some appreciation of Mr Pettway's efforts.

aujeff11 6,243 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) I'll be the first to admit that I under appreciated KP's rushing abilities before the season. Like another poster has said, KP cuts and slices a lot better than most RBs his size. I'll also admit that I was concerned about the RB position as a whole after JR was kicked off the team. I feel a lot better about that situation as well but still believe one more injury could really throttle back our offense. I'm hoping going forward that Kerryon and KP can really balance out the carries for the sake of staying fresh and preventing fatigue related injuries. With that said, I now believe KP is our starting first down back. He will be the running back that hurts a lot of defensive linemen and linebackers egos by overpowering them, and then Kerryon will provide the demoralizing long runs while providing some relief to KP.

McLoofus 35,182 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Amazing what he's done as the 2nd best RB on the team. He and Kerryon might both go for 1,000, and Kerryon still has a lot of receptions yet to... receive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucanucktiger 1,794 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Is "Bubba" a nickname he commonly uses or is it more like James Joseph's "Bo Peep" nickname (i.e. fabricated to catch media attention)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about KP, but I don't think James Joseph was fabricated. I lived in Columbus GA when he was in high school and seems like I remember that name before he went to AU.
