Dameyune Craig

Dameyune tossed his 5th TD pass, he had clocked up a professional record 611 yards. The Claymores would hang on to win 42-35 and Dameyune’s performance would send shock waves through the football world. So much so, that the Hall of Fame in Canton would take his jersey and helmet from that night and create a mini shrine for him (see below)!

As a senior though he really blossomed. He passed for an Auburn record 3,277 yards, completing 216 of 403 passes for 17 TD's and 13 INT's. He also ran for 312 yards, accounting for 78% of his team's offense. His performance earned him second team all-SEC honours behind Peyton Manning. With 9 wins, the Tigers had earned a berth in the SEC Championship Game against Tennessee and … Peyton Manning. Craig played a great first half in staking the Tigers to a 20-10 halftime lead. (The Cheddars turned up on their San Francisco hotel just in time to catch the 2nd half), but could only watch as Peyton lead a great 2nd half comeback to seal a 30-29 win. Despite the disappointment, Craig would end his Auburn career on a high note, engineering three 4th quarter scoring drives to pull out a 21-17 come from behind win over Clemson in the Parch Bowl.

    • Yeah, when you're wanting to run multiple TEs and your TEs are a weakness you're basically handcuffed yourself. I think there's a good chance our passing attack would look significantly different if we had a quality receiving TE.
    • That and when you fug around with someone else's spouse and the spurned spouse goes nuclear and puts your poo on blast... well, you should've been doing your part of the "mind your own business" mantra. 
    • We also have to consider cause and effect.  Maybe the reason we don't target TEs is not by design, it is due to personnel.  If we are going to use 12 (2 TEs) and 13 (3 TEs) sets to improve the run game, we need some TE options.  It is ridiculous to think we can do that without TEs who can run the seams and move the chains in the pass game.  I think that is the plan folks.  We ran 3 TEs about 1 in 12 plays last year, and we did not have the TE personnel to do that as effectively as needed.  If we had better TEs, we might run 3 TE sets more--say 10%, and 2 TE sets 20% of the time.  You always need the pass option when you do this, and frankly, nobody was scared with Tremble, Evans, and Sanders out there.  It is an area they are likely to address.
