Jabo 36 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 A couple from the past that I can think of are Tray Blackmon, Eltoro Feeman, and Junior Rosegreen. That lick Rosegreen laid on the Georgia player would probably have him done fir the season now days. I need to go back and watch it, but I assume it would be considered targeting. Luckily both walked away, but man what a hit! Sammy Coates didn’t necessarily hit the guy, but the way he man handled that A&M defender in their house was epic. I may be wrong, but I’m pretty certain it was A&M. Don’t get me wrong, I love a great offense, but seeing Auburn make guys want to quit is something I miss. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,540 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Love this hit by Curt Crain in the Iron Bowl (around 1:45 mark) stuck in my mind. I love watching those Wayne Hall defenses of that time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabo 36 Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) I’ll have to research him Mikey. I don’t recall him, but I’m thinking he’s the type player I was talking about. Just found this article on him. Pretty awesome. Bear Bryant helped him lad at the Dolphins. It’s definitely worth a read. Perfect circumstances for what seems like a well deserving Auburn man. https://www.al.com/entertainment/2015/12/former_auburn_great_mike_kolen.html Edited December 9, 2022 by Jabo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
