Is the Giants' Brandon Jacobs. . .

Is he the one that at one poitnt was an LSU commit, then ended up at auburn but never saw the field. Looks good running tonight. Didn't Saban want to make him a linebacker?

Nutriaitch · 10-23-2006, 08:04 PM

I'm not sure about that one. I saw him play in High School. He ran slap over my lil sister's boyfriend.

Funniest damn thing I ever saw in my life.

DallasLSU · 10-23-2006, 08:07 PM

Yep that's him...

blindside517 · 10-23-2006, 08:11 PM

he was at auburn and transferred because they had two pretty good backs and went to a smaller college and played linebacker.....hes looking pretty good tonight at rb.

Brandon Jacobs left AU after the 2003 season to go on to play running back for Southern Illinois.......didn't play linebacker. Played his senior season for the Salukis (2004) then went on to the NFL.

I found this for further clarification.....doesnt seem like he ever commited or liked

Don't know if he was ever a LSU commit, but when he came out of JUCO he said he was going to AU because they had stuck with him. He knew the position was stacked when he came to AU, there was talk about switching him to LB, but he wanted to be a RB. When he went to SI he ran into the same situation he was in at AU, some other big time back also transferred to SI and he still split time.

Purportedly, Jacobs has publicly stated that he hates the Saints and LSU, and always rooted against his hometown teams.

wow... so there's a new guy to root against...

cadillacattack · 10-24-2006, 06:05 AM

never heard of jacobs saying he hates LSU, but jacobs did see the field at AU. He played several games and showed limited success.

IMO, he didn't get enough snaps to get into a rhythm in most of the games he saw, and Brandon is definitely a player that gets stronger as the game wears on. He's a load, and fun to watch. The game against Wyoming comes to mind .... he romped, made several big runs, and one TD where he crumpled the Wyoming safety who was trying to lay wood.

He would've seen a lot more playing time if (a) he had been willing to switch positions (TE, LB, FB), or (b) if Caddy or Ronnie either one had been injured.

A guy that is 6'4" 250 lbs simply should not be playing RB.

But you have to admit, he was pretty effective last night.

OK... but I believe the coaches were right in asking him to change positions at every place he's been.

Jacobs had some academic problems coming out of Napoleonville. And the sheer thought of a 6-4, 265 lb RB makes the fillings rattle. He's bigger than most FBs and LBs in the NFL. He runs with great balance for a man his size, and also is gaining pretty good vision while performing as the understudy to Tiki. Short of an injury, I expect him to be the starter for the NYG next season.

The link to the old thread fills in most of the missing info.

Wyoming? Don't think we have played them since 2000. S. Illinois didn't play them either. I remember him having a run similar to this...was it the Vandy game?

I like all the smack Auburn fans talked about us being dumb and not signing BJ to a scholly, yet he left their team.

Ah, and to think that was when we won the NT... memories...

Jacobs will probably have a better NFL career than either of the three backs that started ahead of him at Auburn and SI.
