He had excellent vision as the highlight shows. If he had a crease he could see it and maneuver through it. But on 3 rd and 2 when you need a bulldozer or a quit smash into the hole his style looked defeated. To those who didn’t watch him live(seeing all his carries) this video is probably on par with Bo Jackson. I'm glad to see this as I didn't think much of him either. I sometimes felt he ran the ball like he was looking for a place to fall down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,888 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 1995 was a major let down year. We had enough talent and experience to be in the NC discussion. Tot blew it by severely under-utilizing the team strengths and game planning to feature our weaknesses. I have always argued that 95 was the beginning of the end for Tot.

johnnyAU 3,634 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I was at Auburn for most of his career there. It was a shame he was there during the Bowden transition into having almost zero running game by the end of his tenure. I can't imagine his numbers had he played for Dye, Tubbs or Malzahn. Heck of a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twilli13 600 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 The main reason we underachieved in 95 was the defense, not the offense. If I remember correctly, long time d coordinator Wayne Hall got fired over that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly, long time d coordinator Wayne Hall got fired over that season. The offense disappeared in two games (LSU *6 pts* & Penn St. *14 pts*) but the O was scoring plenty the rest of the season, including beating both thUga & bammer. However, their other 2 losses were to #3 UF after scoring 38 pts and to Arky after scoring 28 pts, so the D certainly had little excuse in those losses. The problem with Bowden's tenure was the longer he stayed, the slimier the recruiting got and he did eventually (almost) completely abandon the running game.

Bowden revered tiny running backs for some reason. Instead of getting hosses like Stephen Davis and James Bostic, Bowden recruited the likes of Markeith Cooper, Rusty William's, and Demontrey Carter. Good athletes and players, but not power backs needed to play physical SEC football imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
