Gatewood

Gatewood fanboys will disappear after today

Greatwood got benched last week. He’s starting out of desperation today. Remember when that Kentucky win was a good ‘un?

He should’ve got some PT against Florida. Like maybe a drive at most? Gus messed that up.

You forget about the LSU game? Gus threw a true freshman to the wolves in two hostile away games. Predictable results ensued. Gatewood had already been in the program a full year more than Nix. I don't know if it would have made any difference, but it sure as Hell couldn't have made it worse. I'm surprised those two games didn't destroy Nix as a QB.

Gatewood wasn't exactly chopped liver, coming out of high school. Plus, he is bigger and faster.

I wish him well also. Seems to be a great kid and he handled the situation as well as could be expected. The writing was on the wall with our current HC. No matter how bad Nix played, Gatewood was not going to see the field. Shame.

Testing the D against the run? Setting them up? They were definitely not respecting the pass on that series.

No passes have been thrown by either team.......UGA doesn't need to!

Imagine the pressure on Gus, if Gatewood comes out looking like the second coming of Cam Newton. Remember last year, when Gus said Nix and Gatewood were 1A & 1B on the depth chart? Has Gus destroyed Nix, or did he just choose poorly?

I always love these takes. What possible reason would a coach have to start someone when the back up was better.

I actually think some of you believe he would make Nix the starter knowing that Gatewood was better.


This has always been one of the dumbest takes on this board. Same with running backs. We have always had our "best" running backs on the bench. Asa, Roc and now MAR. You know coaches get paid to win and most of the time they play the best players they have to do so.

Gatewood has never impressed me on a run play. He’s big. That’s it. He looked good running downhill one time in garbage time in a bowl game. Helpful hint: most college football players look good carrying the ball downhill.

And just how would anyone know that Nix was better than Gatewood, at Auburn? I can count the number of plays Gatewood got, on one hand. Your reasoning is why Jeremy Johnson kept getting the start. Gus kept trotting him out there, week after week, when a blind man could see he had no business touching the field.

Keep up defending Gus and his awesome decisions with personnel and playcalling. You are becoming the Jeremy Johnson of AU posters.

I'm beginning to think you may have had a stroke. Please defend Shivers getting more carries than Tank. I can go back further for more examples of dumbass personnel decisions by the Waffle House King of Wire Road.
