Let's hope we end this season on a high note.

When Mosely went down, I really thought Frazier was in to stay. Surprised to see Trotter back in the game. Auburn winning the turnover battle early.

They have an eternity to find a receiver. Be interesting to see how we match scores without our running game.

Big East Officials apparently don't know how to call a facemask penalty. I've counted 3 and one obvious holding penalty on Morgan Moses against Lemonier on two occasions...but yet, we have a DB bump a receiver away from the play (15 yard Personal Foul).

I'm liking Virgina's OC, maybe this is his audition.

Veteran line provides time for Rocco but their run game is poor.

This will probably be McCalleb's "Swan Song".

Canada can get nippy this time of the year.

Do they have a "fastest man to the sideline" position in the CFL?

Never have understood the fan hate for McCaleb, who has 113 yards on 9 carries, 1 TD, and 2 reception for 53 yards and 1 TD.

Good point! How electric could OMac be if he only went against the grain every so often?

War Damn Eagle!!! That was the Trotter that we saw the first few games of the year. Pleased with everything except the fact that we let another QB have a career day against us.

I'm thankful to see the Malzahn offense of old one more time and tired of QB roulette. Very proud of special teams and OMac's performance. WDE!

Yeah, we need a true DC and DB Coach...maybe it's the same coach, I don't really care, I just want a coach that can mold these young kids into something that they aren't right now. I'm tired of seeing Auburn bring pressure only to have the DBs playing 5-10 yards off their guy, leaving him wide ass open.

I'm of the mind that LB is an extreme weakness on this team, not that we don't get great effort, it's just that we seem to be outmatched and out of sorts there which puts more pressure on the kids behind them to do so much more. I get pissed when I count the slot receiver types we have with this deficit at LB. And we seem bent on bringing in 195 pounders and when a kid reaches 240 he is immediately thought of as a DE type. WTF does it matter as long as they can play the position?

It seems as if we go into Nickel & Dime formations a lot, I hate the fuckin' Tampa 2...it's horrible against the power run game, unless you have a DL like LSU, UGA or uat...the SEC is a power running game conference. I say, beef up the DL & LBers play in a true 4-3, let the DBs cover the WRs (man coverage perferably) and be fuckin' aggressive in the Defensive play calling.

Frazier's not happy with only running the ball...from his Twitter

I really don't like running the ball. Wish I could throw it. Whatever gets us a win though #wde

That's how you call on offensive game plan. Where the fuck were the swing passes to McCalebb earlier this year? Or is Moseley that bad.

I am totally perplexed by our QB situation.
