    What a great story!! Love his productivity as his motor never stops and battled back from a major injury. A kid that wanted to be a Gator!

    Effort wise, he’s the definition of giving 100% and a good reason to not always believe the ratings/rankings system as he was .88 and 3 star. Great to see him get the chance. Definitely impacting others as he is all over the place.

    Loved seeing him line up at FB. I hope we see this more as he will find someone and move them backwards.

    Always need a few kids who will give their left nut to be a Gator. :eek:

    They are frequently undervalued but essential.

    I remember watching pyburn hs highlights and wondering why he was only a 3 star.

    What’s the story with using a fullback now?

    Also really like the way Gates is flying up making plays.

    It's the easiest way to teach the 20 personnel, with one running back and full back instead of two running backs?

    I noticed UGA run a play with a full back too.

    The defense started to improve the same time Pyburn started to get more snaps

    Pyburn a true throwback!!
    Kid is all over the place.

    The numbers show he’s one of our best. The tape shows the same thing. Fullback thing such a great idea as at a later date, totally sets up play action for a big play as teams scout tendencies and see 99% of time we run out of that set.

    Not sure, but there was one run play that had the full back and the pulling guard leading the way. When it happened I swear I heard the old NFL theme song Classic Battle.

    I have really changed my impression of him as he keeps producing. He is a great run stopper.

    Agreed, but it happens to be the same time that Gates, Denson, Dijon, Robinson, Moore, and especially Bridges got more snaps and some very poor players got their snaps minimized significantly. He isn't a one man wrecking crew but he helps our D, including its identity of aggression. Imo there are some other tweaks needed as well, but the personnel decisions are finally headed in the right direction.

    He’s good at everything. Never stops moving, chasing plays, working through blocks, etc., etc..
