He KO’d Reggie Cobb! Tigers won 38-6! I still have the ticket stub somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguin149 391 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 An AU man but in the pros….Bo’s hit on The Boz! Too lazy to look up the video… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerHorn 1,354 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Then there's Martavious Houston on Ed Scissum. It's at about the 10 minute mark in the link, may not have been on the level of Rosegreen's lick, but it changed a game that we were all but finished in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucom96 1,640 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Also, can't find video, but Brandon Johnson was a monster hitter at fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU North 164 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I would dearly love to see Auburn come out sporting the old shoulder pads, thigh pads, knee pads, etc... What an intimidation ploy that would be when they lined up against their opponents. I loved the days when players looked bigger, badder and unworldly. Just go back and look at the players in those old clips above. WDE Happy Holidays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icanthearyou 4,464 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Eric Smith was a hitter at FB (even if some of those hits were out of bounds). By the fourth quarter, you could watch DBs running away from him (probably why some of those hits were out of bounds). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plays like this is probably why they changed the kickoff rules for player safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMITTY4AU 29 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Not an Auburn hit but this sure did turn this game around IIRC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillMunny 1,384 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 Quinton Riggins was a hard hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creed 1,666 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Rosegreen and Cheatham were the two hardest I’ve personally remember. The Cheatham hit was more impressive because Cobb was not a small RB. Edited December 9, 2022 by creed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikesEagle 168 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Just for fun, what is worse than a return man getting blasted by a kicker? Getting blown up a second time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His hit on a Florida WR was the hardest hit I ever saw in person. I thought he killed the guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aubiefifty 17,100 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 in a weird twist bo jackson ran over a badass on D and it ruined his career. i think his leg was broken and he lost the talent he had. bo actually went and visited this player and cried like a baby telling him he was so sorry he ruined his career. it was an accident and bo just ran over him. i just read this yesterday in the the last folk hero which is a new book on bo and it is amazing!!!!!!!

This was not the only game he got KO’d in and came back later. In the 88 Iron Bowl he got knocked out by Spencer Hammond and came back later and had a huge run on the drive that sealed the game! They don’t make em like ole Stacy anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
