Watch out for Tank Rigsby? Northwestern DC botches Auburn RB’s name ahead of Citrus Bowl showdown

The Auburn Tigers and Northwestern Wildcats will square off in the Citrus Bowl on Friday afternoon.
Now, freshman RB Tank Bigsby will have a bit of extra motivation, courtesy of Northwestern DC Mike Hankwitz.
As you can see below, Hankwitz was asked about the challenges of facing an SEC offense and he mistakenly referred to Bigsby as “Rigsby” at the start of the video:
“It will be a great challenge because we have tremendous respect for Rigsby, their big O-line, and then (Bo) Nix is certainly dangerous with his ability to scramble and the designed QB runs,” Hankwitz said. “We’ve seen some athletic quarterbacks, I’m not sure we’ve seen one of his caliber, so we know we’ve got a tremendous challenge in front of us.”
It was an honest mistake, as Hankwitz is very much respected in coaching circles, but hey, we’ve seen guys use much less for motivation in the past. How many yards will Rigsby/Bigsby run for on Friday?
