So, it appears that Hunter was primarily a Decoy & Blocker vs Bama to get 3 other WR’ers open...

since Tide respected him that much to burn them, again.

I've wondered if this were not the case, but I hated it for HR. I was really hoping he would get a Ted for NC and his last game.

sigh...... me too

When he caught a couple of his chain moving catches I thought to myself....HERE WE GO!!! It man the game is a team player. No complaints from him...... he is extremely blue collar. Glad he’s a Tiger for life.

Watching the Sky cam view I noticed on pass to Ross there were 3 Bama players converging on HR...I am sure he enjoyed the attention...

Oh you can bet they knew where he was at ALL times lol***

I absolutely believe this, and it was genius


Jan 25, 2019, 10:27 AM

Bama game planned for HR, knowing he was our "go to" on 3rd down, and was determined not to let him pick them apart again. You could see the double (and triple) teams from the very beginning.

This absolutely created opportunities for Higgins and Ross in those situations.

I don't think he was meant to be a decoy. It's just that


Jan 25, 2019, 11:54 AM

bama had seen Renfrow destroy them for the past couple of years and they had game planned not to let him beat them. Bama defenders were very physical with him and jammed him on the line almost every play.

I think Trevor just saw that Renfrow was blanketed and moved on through his reads and hit other open wrs.

Seems defenses made him a priority all season. Off the top of my head, I'd say he had just one TD all season.

Sometimes the road to the truth is so elusive it's confusing and reality becomes illusion.


You’re correct InspectorM .....

.... Hunter had one TD this year - against Ga Tech. In the Bama game he had two receptions for 10 yds - but against Notre Dame he had 4 catches for 62 yds. He was always much more valuable to the team than just his receiving stats - and this was certainly the case in the Alabama game!! He will be greatly missed next year!!

If people were as good as their obituary - and products were as good as advertised - this would truly be a wonderful world !!


Was the best offense game plan we've had since I can't

remember when.

forever. No disrespect to Sammy, Nuk, Mike or DW but we have all that on one team and the players now as individuals may be better. Note, I didn't put CJ in that because CJ added to that team would be as good.

I have to agree with you. Very few trick plays or screens


Jan 26, 2019, 10:28 AM [ in reply to Was the best offense game plan we've had since I can't ]

and mostly vertical passing with an emphasis on getting the ball out quickly. Great stuff.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Of course....that's part of his job....and other WRs are..


Jan 25, 2019, 9:18 PM

...sometimes decoys too. HR shell shocked Bama the first two outings that he was in their head and it's like it was more important for to prevent him from getting a TD that it was to stop the rest of our WR corp.

If this was the case it was a great strategy. It also shows has HR is a great team player who puts team first over self. Rare trait among WRs. 1st class player and human.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

No doubt!***
