Alabama fans gave head coach Kalen DeBoer a hard time for not living up to his predecessor, Nick Saban’s, standards, but only a genius tactician like DeBoer can think about his offensive tackle as a receiver. Georgia players, coaches, and fans looked shell-shocked when the big frame of Kadyn Proctor charged towards the Bulldogs’ secondary.
Two minutes after UG running back Chauncey Bowens reduced Bama’s lead to three points, Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson orchestrated a 60+ yard drive into the Georgia half.
With 46 ticks on the clock, DeBoer and his OC, Nick Sheridan, dived into their bag of tricks. Fans inside the Sanford Stadium watched something unique unfold in front of their eyes.
6’7″, nearly 360-lb lineman Kadyn Proctor, whose job is guarding Simpson, lined up as an eligible receiver on left field. From first and ten, Simpson threw a bubble screen to Proctor, and the junior bulldozed his way through a couple of Bulldogs to secure the first down by covering 11 yards.
