Popular Post LPTiger 5,206 Posted November 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2023 How great has it been seeing a true freshman settle in at center and excel? It is the 2nd most important position on the offense, and this young man has stepped up in a big way. Muskrat played a lot of snaps today as well. Future is looking good!!! 17 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCTAU 3,362 Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 I remember thinking, “The snaps have been pretty good today. No jumping around by the QBs to get the snap.” Then I hear the announcers discuss this was his first start. It makes a huge difference. Coincidentally, we have won every game he started. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s when I noticed the snaps on point. I did not realize he started that game until they said it. I just noticed something better about the snaps.

LPTiger 5,206 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 I think it was Britton who said he came to AU and saw the physical specimen that Lew is as a true freshman and said to himself "now I know why I was a 2 star." 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few great centers that have anchored the AU line got us to Sec championships and Nattys. Dismukes, the transfer guy who snapped for Stidham, and the center in 2010 who is now an Oline coach in D1. Guys I can’t remember their names. Lew is the first building block to a contender 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,206 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 👍 Ryan Pugh from Hoover in 2010. He won multiple state heavyweight wrestling championships in HS. He started for 4 years at AU. How was the pork belly? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustache eagle 2,420 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Props to the coaches for rotating a lot of oline early season. The experience across all 5 positions had paid off and allowed Lew to explode here late season. what coaching staff rotates oline like we did earlier this year? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,206 Posted November 13, 2023 Author Share Posted November 13, 2023 These coaches figured out our biggest weakness in like 2 hours on the job whereas the prior coaches never saw it. It is a new day!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is so true. Lew has done an absolutely AMAZING job as a center. To step in and fill those shoes is great for anyone, to do it as a true freshman in SEC play is what makes it AMAZING! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meh130 1,056 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 When considering great Auburn centers, don’t forget four year starter Ben Tamburello. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
