Running down the RB behind the LOS was beautiful.
Clemson.
Then Drew Tuazama was playing wide receiver.
I could’ve sworn I saw a #88 line up at TE as well. One of the last 2 drives with DeVito still in. Tuazama was a pretty highly regarded TE in HS, I wonder if that was him. Judging solely off height & skin tone, it could’ve been.
I mistook 89 (Aaron Hackett) for 88 early on in the game, definitely could have been that.
Possibly. That was my first thought so I kept my eye on him the entire play & thought I still saw 88.
D. Tuazama is listed in the PDF Participation Report on page six for Syracuse in the last line next to Szmyt. When I saw #88 blocking on a play I thought wow that young man is put together. Later I checked the roster for #88 on offense and it was listed as Mital who is listed at 6'1" 222. In retrospect the young man I saw blocking wearing #88 does look more like Tuazama who is listed at 6'5" 250. Go Orange!!!!!!!!
I rewatched that a dozen times, and I still can't tell if it was 89 - Hackett, or 88 - Tuazama.
We know it wasn't Mital, who didn't travel.
Tuazama is a DE.
While he played TE in HS, it seems odd to throw him out there randomly at a position he's not expected to play in college, so I'm thinking it had to be Hackett.
ALSO - the name looks more like Hackett than Tuazama, so I'm going w/ it being Hackett.
That's my final answer.
Either way - GREAT block that sprung Moe for that TD!!
