Stover Appreciation Thread

[CornBiscuit]

He stepped up big today when other couldnt. He had been a bit of a dispointment but when they blanketed DJ and Keith was nowhere, we needed a receiver to step up. He kept us in the game...here is to a big future. Thanks NS.

He showed why he got those 4/5 star ratings...

I'm hoping he'll get an Iron Bowl win before he leaves.

Great game, Stover! We should be dangerous in the WR corp next year (with DJ, KB, Oakley, and the TEs?) if you continue to bring your A-game. Keep working, baby.

It starts next year brother. Is Stover a Sophomore? I think he is...anyways, yes he definately played amazing tonight...much props Nikita and here's to a bright future at the University and a NC ring before you graduate

#9. You are the man.

Great game by NS. He made some great catches. Hope he continues to see more PT.

Stover did exactly what we've all been waiting for him to do. Oakley stepped up to, dude is fast.

Stover stepped it up when Oakley stuggled. Stover showed his speed and good hands. How did he keep his foot in bounds on that play downfield in the 4th? With Stover, Hall, Brown, Oakley, Caddell, and McCoy nextyear it is going to be exciting. I ready for those Rfreshman olinemen to move up too!

 

[TideFan in AU]

I agree. He looked like the player we were hoping he was. He played a great game.

 

[Baryugin]

Agreed. He stepped up, big time today.

 

[CrimsonGlory]

Great players emerge in big time games. It looks like Stover and Wilson will be a deadly duo for the next 2 yrs.

Considering he sat out all last year, had JUCO the year before, and only high school ball on his resume he was bound to face a steep learning curve. I think he has progressed well from game 1 to game 12. That is something that cannot be said about everyone. Good job NS!

 

[bamabryan]

I read early in the year he had to work on his conditioning. I am sure the fact that he sat out his second year in juco did not help matters any, but he has really stepped up the last couple of weeks. This kids has a very, very bright future if he continues to work hard.

I have been very impressed with him the last couple weeks in particular. Of course he had a couple of big catches earlier in the year.

Nice footwork on the catch on the sidelines.

Sophomore Nikita Stover had a great day. He caught five passes for 101 yards that included a 52 yard TD in the second quarter.

Great game, Stover! We should be dangerous in the WR corp next year (with DJ, KB, Oakley, and the TEs?) if you continue to bring your A-game. Keep working, baby.

Rant.... What make you think our TE's will be dangerous? Do you think that they can run 80 yards for a score on the one throw they get to 'em each game????:biggrin2:

My hat is off to Nikita Stover. Where has he been all year?:conf2: :conf3:

 

[runtheoption22]

Nikita.....whale of a game, baby!

 

[crimsonbear]

Nikiti, you know who this is. Great game, Hartselle is very proud of you man.
Talk to you soon.

How true. I just wished Coach Shula and staff had keep going to NS. Coach Bryant once said "Keep running it until they can stop it". In 1973 while playing Auburn, Alabama ran the option pitch to the right three straight times. In all the Tide gained 98 yards running that play 17 times during the game. AL.COM (Alabama Archieves). Coach Shula and company should have hit the slant to Stover all night till they stopped it. :biggrin2:
