  10/28/20 - RB Shaun ShiversrSr/2023, Indiana

  After three weeks where Gus Malzahn was "hopeful" Shaun Shivers would be ready to play, Shivers made his return to the backfield in Auburn's 35-28 win over Ole Miss. Although freshman running back Tank Bigsby had had outstanding performances in Auburn's last three games, Shivers was given the start over him. That decision was about more than skill. Shivers has seniority, experience and, most importantly, leadership ability. He's one of the team captains, and he changes the dynamic on the field just by being out there. That all adds to the fact that he's an effective runner, as he showed in the season-opener against Kentucky where he averaged 4.8 yards a carry.

"Shaun Shivers is one of our team leaders," Malzahn said Tuesday before Shivers's return. "You talk about a guy that had a phenomenal fall camp and really had a really good first half against Kentucky and then got hurt. That'll definitely help when he gets back. He's in a great spot." Shivers wasn't quite back to 100 percent against Ole Miss, but that didn't stop him from running all over the Ole Miss defenders. Shivers finished with 60 yards on 11 carries with one touchdown. Basically every time he carried the ball, he had a significant gain, and he finished the game averaging 5.5 yards per carry. He bulldozed through defenders, found gaps and broke tackles. "I thought he really bounced a couple of zones out," Malzahn said Sunday. "He cut it back and he tried to finish runs, too. He broke tackles, too." - Birmingham News
