Saw Kenny at Highlands late one night the week of that monster LSU game.
Me: What are you doing man?
Kenny: Aw this is just water, I'm good.
Me: Just as long as you're good Saturday.
Kenny: I'm straight, I'm going for 200 on Saturday.
And that's one of several reasons Kenny Irons will always be one of my favorite AU RBs.
he called it... but as impressive at that was, his game against them in 06 is the game against which all future Auburn RB’s will forever be judged
LSU avg’d 1.8 ypc for the game
their longest run was 9 yards
AU avg’d 1.9
Kenny had 25 for 68 - with a long of 12
he got every. single. possible. inch. on every single carry and never showed the first bit of hesitation... he just ran full speed straight into a literal ton of human bodies most of that game, from his first carry to his last
I’ve been to idk how many games in person, and I’ve never seen anything like that one... when a RB shows me he could’ve played in that game, then I’ll trust him - but not before
