I'll be worried if I see TM7 matched on D. Benton b/c of the height difference. Benton hasn't done much yet at Auburn but he's starting to "get it" as he plays more.

I'd hate to see Benton do well in Tiger Stadium although I'm infinitely glad we took Rueben over him.

Match our tallest corner with him all game.

i agree. tm7 is a gamer and is seldom out of a play. but he can only stretch so far.

...although I think Benton may have incentive to be a bit more focused this coming Sat.

An observation we made during the Tennessee game with a taller and more physical receiver. I would hope and trust that this was caught on film and will be fixed. HB kind of got used some and I love me some HB!

I'm sure our coaches are really troubled by Benton. 19 yards a game receiving and 1 TD on the year is pretty scary. Hopefully he doesn't match his best game of the year and get 2 catches on us.

why are we talking about him? he has 5 catches for 94 yards and one TD. that is for the entire season.

I hope you realize that TM7 will always be matched up against big wr's when he plays on Sundays at the next level. They aren't worried about Benton.

I'm not concerned about what he will hypothetically do in the NFL, just about him not getting beaten in college.

Trovon Reed and DeAngelo Benton have combined for less receiving yards than Odell Beckham Jr. this year. Damn, we really missed out on these 2 LA studs

Benton has hands that were chiseled out of a rock quarry. Lining Benton up in the slot is effective against any slot receiver. We'll make the adjustment.

tell me what benton has done at auburn that would make you worry who is covering him. is it his 12 receptions in 2 1/2 years?

Not worried about a player who has handled the ball less than the ballboys on the sidelines.

Plus this will happen naturally, because with auburn's spread there is a good chance we will run a 4-2-5

I thought it was the other way around. I thought it was RR's dad? I could be wrong though
