Will OJ Howard have another big game this year?


Jan 9, 2017, 10:52 AM

Last year, we were sitting behind 3 Alabama fans, an older man and his two grown sons. Before the game, the dad pointed to #88 and told us that is OJ Howard and he has a feeling that tonight, he will be the difference. I don't think he quite expected Howard to have the impact he did, but may have been the only person in the country to specifically say Howard would be the impact player that night. Howard had less than 400 yards receiving the entire season and no TDs, yet in that game, he racked up 208 yards and 2 TDs, with his 63 yd TD being 20 yards more than his previous longest catch. Not only were they big plays, but seemed to come as just the right times for Alabama, too.

So, was that his breakout game? Hardly - he has 489 total yards receiving this, his senior season, and only 2 TDs. His longest catch is, once again, only 40 yards. So will he continue to play a minor role this season, or there something about our defense that will allow him to contribute in a big way again?

I'm sure this has been a focus for our defense this past week and hope last year's experience is the only thing I ever remember about #88 for Alabama.

We are going to be on him like white on rice*


I think they only way they are going to beat us is with WR jet sweeps and with downfield throws.

At my age as a former college DB, I would have a breakout game if nobody is within a mile. He didn't earn...ed it. It was a night of gifts that he capitalized on. No foot race, No ball fighting, No faking. Just me, myself, and I, all along. Reed and Venables have and will not let them forget those Busts, Not the Breakout.

I think the problem therein lies with the amount of talent Bama has. Most any of their players can have a breakout game if the opposing defense is focused on another player. If you focus on OJ Howaed, that just opens it up for Calvin Ridley or Ardarius Stewart or some one else. They have 5 star talent sitting on their bench that would start any where else. The answer to them is to play man defense and if it looks like one of them is beating you, just go ahead and take a 15 yard interference. That will be much better than a TD. At least you have a chance to play defense and get the ball back.
Play long developing plays on offense and let our QB run around in the backfield and tire the big fat Bama players out and they are beat at that point.

I would put Mark Fields on him in 3rd and long situations. He is big enough and fast enough to cover him.

Clemson d all year has struggeld with people slipping out of the backfield and catching balls around lost linebackers.

Geville Tiger on Clemson football , "Dabo's only problem is he has to deal with turd fans questioning every move he makes.”


Is he related to OJ Simpson?

I predict 1 catch for 7 yards
