Auburn football RB Tank Bigsby was caught in 4K shaking his head on camera after Tigers OC Mike Bobo made the call to pass on fourth and short in the second quarter against South Carolina on their own 35-yard line.

The Gamecocks proceeded to march into the AU end zone and tied the game at 14, enraging the Auburn family on Twitter and having some wonder about the future of the offense.

Some Tiger fans went as far as to mention Tank Bigsby’s name in the same breath as the word ‘transfer’:

Clearly, the Auburn family is down bad right now, and are just preparing for the absolute worst after losing starting QB Bo Nix to a season-ending ankle injury last week. Or perhaps they just have no faith in Auburn football HC Bryan Harsin and co. and just want to see Tank do what they think is best for his career.

To be fair to their painful proclamations, Bigsby came into the 2021 season with legitimate Heisman hopes, but he has not had the season many expected him to have. It’s more than possible that Bobo’s offensive schemes aren’t getting the most out of him, especially since he isn’t even ranked in the top five for rushing attempts in the SEC.

There’s been no talk so far of Bigsby having eyes on another school after sticking with Auburn through the coaching switch from Gus Malzahn to Harsin, but a sour ending to this season could force a lot of change on the Plains.
