It is good to see some video of Shivers as he has moves and speed to go with his power.
I hope that wasn’t the #1 defense out there. About 6 guys up front got way out of position and that one LB was juked out of his jock.
Still good to see a back with that kind of breakaway speed.
It’s the reason these type of guys sign with the Auburns of the world out of high school. Glad he’s on our team.

I think it was a safety, not a LB. Looked like #18 to me but that can't be right. Maybe #19, Sanguinetti?
Agreed terrible D, but a very nice move. I think he's going to be ok, no worse than an average BT TB.
Misdirection plays cancatch a D out of position and create opportunities. Do you have the speed/shiftiness to make the D pay? This clip suggests Shivers does.
But, it also shows our D has some wheels, too. He didn't exactly pull away from people and Williams made up a ton of ground.
The bright side for the O is no one could catch up to Shivers. The cut that put the player on his back wad special; and he did it at full speed!

One side of the ball will always be unhappy during an intrasquad scrimmage.
almost all big plays like that happen because of a mistake on defense. Even great defenses make mistakes, It’s just that you need the talent/speed to capitalize on those mistakes.
Moves like Marcus Thigpen. Same number also, 2. Get him the ball!’
Thigpen was straight line speed. This cat has some wiggle to him.
That run actually reminded me of the play where Thigpen juked the Purdue safety and was gone in a flash.
Here's some of his highlights at Auburn...
That's some pretty serious talent that he's doing that to... 😉🍺

Shaun was listed on his Rivals page coming out of high school in Hollywood FL as 5’5” and 175 lbs.
And he had a slew of offers.
5 foot 5 inches….with 20 offers across the country. That’s pretty amazing.

Really looking forward to watching this guy run this year.
Yes, I want to see him run against B1G defenses this coming season. I think he can reenergize the run game for IU.
What's most impressive to me is that while most of those clips are of plays designed for wide runs, he gets north/south in a hurry. Once he does, he takes on contact at full burst rather than trying to dance. Love guys that get what they know they can, then fall forward for two more.
I hope we can block decently enough for him that he has a chance to get full acceleration.
I love the small bowling ball type backs! He'll hide behind the line, then explode through the hole. Low center of gravity, plus the shiftyness will let him pick through the traffic and find daylight. Going to be tough to bring down and fun to watch.
Probably the most impressive thing I saw with him, apart from his explosiveness, were the numerous plays where he stayed on his feet for extra yardage. There were clips of him where other backs might be tackled for a loss behind the line and he avoided tackles in the backfield and got out around the edge for positive gains. Other instances where he was down field and appeared to be cornered against a sideline and he squirmed out for extra yards. That can mean the difference in moving the sticks versus punting the ball.
He's got juice. Any OL would want to block for this guy. Plus he'll make them look better. He's Cole Gest/Jordan Howard in 1 uniform. Really like the fact he's a good receiver too.
