Hell, I don't know if anyone else on our roster scores there except for Shivers. I agree 100%. You can see him setting it up for the first down marker when he makes his cut. But that hit was phenomenal. He, along with others have to get more touches in Bowl Game and all next year. Worm's play, Herring's and Canella's clutch catches & of course, the pass broken up by D. Brown are the type of plays that we never seemed to make in other big games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Worm is fearsome. This was a perfect play for him. It gave him time to get up his speed and turn the corner going north and south. At that point he became a human projectile with no fear for his body. If you step in his way your are subjecting yourself to some intense pain. He is much easier handled before he gets up to speed or going lateral. In regular formation I might even set him back an additional two yards behind the QB to give him time to get up speed. He also has great balances and because of his lower body frame he is also hard to wrap up and can bounce of the would be tacklers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep..the guys need to work on that. Or use the play, but change the receiver, just so it isn't "broadcast" to the Defense. I personally am appreciative, for the most part, for everything CGM does for Auburn and Auburn Football. However, regardless of all those positive things, if someone could get him to quit his "tendencies" to broadcast his offensive plays with specific personnel, we would probably all be better for it.

Hopefully, CGM will see the light due to the changes in players he had to use Saturday due to the injuries. Another example of having to "use" another player was the 2-point conversion to Shedrick Jackson. Play was executed and Bo and Jackson made it happen.

I may be overstating, but I think the image above may eventually get equal billing to "Bo Over The Top." It is surreal AND it was the game winner.

He was fantastic when he wasn’t fumblin or fighting but damn. It can never just be “Whitlow did his thing” If Bigsby does come this spring, and gets on the SC, picks up the O and gets right on the pass pro, Boobie's fumbling butt will get fewer and fewer carries next season, because TBigs is for real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would turn the corner this year and he did make some plays, but his hands are an issue. I think DJ is the best back on the roster along with Worm, and I agree with Tank and MAR being healthy next year Boobee may be demoted to 3rd string. I also wonder if Gus will still give Boobee the majority of reps though due to how he never pulled him after a fumble which is a Gus anomaly.

Fumble, dropped pass for a first down and maybe more, dumb penalty... Dude was a one man band of mistakes that other guys get crucified for.

Adding "injury prone" to all the issues he displayed the other night is not how I'd go about making the case for him being our most complete back. Also, not sure what physical limitations you're talking about, other than Miller being slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I think he can be tentative too often. Example ... his first run was nice but he ran out of bounds. It’s the iron bowl! If he goes up field and trucks the field aide defender, I bet he falls forward for 4 more yards. i will say I thought he was better than DJ on Saturday, who I really like. regarding favoritism ... one of the many things you and I have agreed over the years ... gus’s bizarre personnel usage. Was A little better this year, except for gatewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Boobie does all the things aside from fumbling (and maybe when to juke/hesitate vs when you shouldn’t) very well. He’s have good, not great hands, generally good at fighting for extra yards, locker room leader, battery for the offense. I don’t think he’s the best option for this system, because his legs just aren’t going to allow him to be beat the way Gus requires and he doesn’t have the vision to be elite behind this paltry OL, but he’s overall good and Gus sees that. Now if Tank blows him out the water and steals the job, I’m all for it. I’m satisfied with a Boobie, but I’d be fine if a 5 star wunderkind came along too.

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,674 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 If you go from the beginning of this season until now, I don’t think throwing out any other guy (on roster) and asking him to take Boobie’s role would’ve been the best thing for Auburn.
