Like liked CAP and Pettway; however once dinged beyond the everyday they needed more than just a breather.

Athletic trainers will tell you to not overwork the same parts or risk injury. And perennially getting the left overs from your rivals, ought to finally tell you these guys want to go where there's better odds to see the field, and not twiddle their thumbs waiting for a bud to get hurt. It's a flaw that hopefully Chad can fix. It's what Georgia did and they're stacked up like cord wood.

Auburn has never started out fast at RB under the Gus tenure. Remember it took until LSU game in 2013 to find a bellcow back. For some reason, Gus always goes with experience over talent in the RB rotation starting out.

Im liking what I see out of our line in pass pro, as Nix was only hit once all game. Run blocking will come as the season goes.

I think it was stated but the SEC had only 1 100 yd rusher this past weekend so its not a big deal yet.

Gus has had a 1,000 rusher for 5 of his 7 years. It's a little early to say he can't recruit running backs.

And only pressured 6 times in 27 attempts.

Honestly what run game or offense in general that was playing that didn't look a little sloppy except the teams that basically played defense as soft as a cloud.

Again this weekend will look like pooh. Both teams. 2 Good defenses. Score may be all over the place but could be from turnovers special teams what have you. But I don't think either offense is gonna dominate the others defense.

Really if Boobee doesn't miss 3 games each of the past 2 seasons, he's a 1000 yard back in 2018 & 2019

The problem has been it interior of the O-Line. Can't have a weak arse bitch at C & Guard in Gus' system.
