His runs remind of Trent's few runs at the end of the Va Tech in 2009. Even with 2nd teamers getting no push, Bo was moving the pile. He and Henry can be a lethal combo!
Confirmed - Bo to play this week...
- Thread starter TIDE-HSV
- Start date
The problem with Drake right now - at least as a runner - is that he's best off the stretch run but our OL seems weakest at that blocking scheme. We're better at man block plays, inside zone, and inside zone derivatives (like the long trap from the H-Back). Drake's skills aren't getting exploited partly due to tells and tendencies but also simply because our linemen aren't getting the seal when the numbers dictate they should win to the perimeter.
Yep, but it was hype by all of us fans. Coach Saban eluded to the fact he didn't get a lot of practice reps. We should have known it was something fan created.
But the fact he was in at the end says something. Now that he can get more practice reps he will be used a lot more. Coach Saban didn't burn the shirt for nothin'.No doubt. I'll take the win
That was my guess. Coming off a knee injury on a slick field, unless there was a need to put him in I don't think the staff wanted to risk anything.
Thankfully we didn't need him.
no doubt can see his explosiveness at the handoff. hope he becomes more involved in our offense. he's a true power RB
Yep wont be surprised to see him get worked in more as well. He did look pretty solid in that short amount of time. I also liked seeing Ridley have such a good game but bro has to get into blocking for real. Had two big plays that coulda been even bigger in the run game if he would have put up a block. All tha being said, I'm excited is seeing what this team can accomplish in the coming weeks.
Yep nobody stands a chance at breaking it big on the last 2 snaps of the game with everyone out and everyone knowing who will be getting the ball.
Just him getting the ball is making me feel good. I feel really good that he'll be in above Damien Harris in no time (and that's saying something)

I agree completely. He looked quick and powerful. If he has vision and feet he will be scary. He really looked promising. As a big fan of Harris, I've been a little disappointed, not seeing the quickness I thought I saw in his HS film. Maybe he put on a little needed weight and can't handle it yet. Hopefully maturity will increase his effectiveness. Seems like a great kid - won't forget his rundown of the interceptor against MTSU.
For the one play he ran was eye opening. He's going to be a good one. I hope he doesn't get injured ever again. He has THAT look.
Pretty sure he ran the ball twice. He was met at the LOS and drove the pile back both times.
CNS mentioned in his PC yesterday that Drake was was trying too hard to hit the home run on every carry. This is something that many of us have complained about as well. I'd to see Henry and Bo be our 1-2 punch, and use Drake like we did last year.
The thought of tackling Bo after three quarters of Henry pounding you has got to have some Def. coordinators sweating.

some of the percieved lack of quickness could also be that he's not 100% comfortable with everything yet and once he get some more reps he'll settle in.
