I'm really glad you feel that way. The Auburn offense obviously made a huge effort to establish the rushing game against UK.

Our #1 RB is a midget. You will not get very far with that kind of shitty scouting.

Auburn does not have a running back on scholarship at this moment that will ever have an NFL carry. It's a hard pill to swallow for Auburn fans but it is true.

Running the ball can be overrated. Just ask LSU

Mostly because the offensive line isn't very good.

Shivers looked good to me last week. He had 4.8 yards/carry. Just didn’t get a lot of attempts. I’m sure we will continue to use all 3 RB.

FYI Auburn averaged more yards per rush against a much better defense than uga did against the worst team in the conference.

ETA: Also averaged over 50% more yards per pass as well. Dwags can’t lose though. They always show up for their super bowl.

I have a feeling Auburn is going to break one off in UGA's arse tomorrow

Reminds me of that RB y'all had around 1997-98. They called him the lizard

The tailbacks and the line were on totally different channels. When the OL finally started to figure things out (in the 3rd quarter) the backs weren't always running to the correct place. It wasn't pretty. It is fixable but not a good look.

Tank disagrees. Gus just has to give the upperclassman the carries until game 4 when he finally sees what everyone else does.

I realize this is a troll but Tre Mason and Kerryon Johnson were both SEC offensive players of the year. That's hella hard to do as a tailback.

For years Gus had to sign off on every offensive recruit...he sucks evaluation of OL.

When on that one play where he got a first down? Yall do yall have such a low bar for the Midget? Getting a first down should be expected of a starting junior SEC running back
