Yep.

Wonder how long it will be before he goes all Michael Dyer/Jovon Robinson/Kam Pettway/Boobie Whitmore on us.

Tank is so good that he would’ve been on the field regardless of whether he played for Georgia or Auburn last night. We got a good one.

Id like to see MAR at least get some touches.

I know, I know, he hasnt learned his blocking assignments and picking up blitzes.

That never stopped us from playing an offensive line did it??????

Keep drinking that kool aid. He ran for 31 yards against a defense that was playing to stop the pass..

We had an oline who looked like they were playing on skates.

We also abandoned the run. You gonna ignore that he was our leading receiver?

I don't believe that is true in the first half. We were forced to abandon it, with all their scoring in the first half.

On our first drive immediately 2 false starts caused us to pass, even though we rushed 1 time.

On our 2nd drive, down 7, we rushed 2 out of our 3 plays.

On our 3rd drive, down 10, we passed 3 times for 21 yards, and rushed 2 times, so we didn't abandon the run here.

On our 4th drive, down 17, what do you expect them to do being down so far? they pass 3 times.

On our 5th drive, down 24...we have no chance without passing most of the game here on out.

So, I did not feel we abandoned the run, not with this deficit, and watching it we could all see we were NOT stopping their offense.

Sad that in year 8 of a program the best rb is a true freshman.

That's kind of my point. Not saying we shouldn't have abandoned the run.

The poster I was responding to was completely ignoring over 2/3 of his yards, which don't even account for plays like the one that he gets the ball like 10 or 15 yards behind the LOS and manages to get it back there for no loss on the play.

Yeah and I also watched "the midget" truck a much heralded safety from Alabama that was drafted in the second round of the NFL draft.

So catching the football makes you a big time back at Auburn now? Maybe we should rate Mario Fannin a bit higher?

The post said Tank was our best RB. Since you so strongly disagree, please tell us who you'd say it was?

When pretty much all those catches are at/behind the LOS and you average close to 10 ypc, and you’re the only productive offensive player we have? Sure

Tank looks better when the ball is in his hands than any other back on the roster. The end.

Not just catch the ball, smart enough to stay back and bail out Bo as he ran for his life. Then make something out of nothing.

Plus I saw him pickup some blitzes as well. If he’s doing that stuff well then there’s no reason to not make him the main guy.
