Fuck me like a goat.
If you can't tell that Ole Miss is improved over last year, I can't help you. There's nothing that I'm going to be able to show you to prove it otherwise in your mind, regardless of how obvious it is. What games of theirs did you watch this season to decide that they are still a dumpster fire? They may have lost by 19 in Tuscaloosa, but if you watched it, I wouldn't exactly consider it a donkey punching. I would consider it an improvement over the Texas game. Not that Alabama is the greatest, but Ole Miss gave them fits on both sides of the ball. They were physical, looked confident in what they were doing, looked disciplined and well coached. Relatively speaking, they actually looked OK versus Texas also. Certainly better than last year. Also keep in mind that in the two deep on both sides of the ball, they have like 6 four star players. No bullshit. 6. No talent, new coaches, new systems, but improved over last year.
Why is it Auburn can improve while losing according to you, but NOBODY else can?
Donkey punched is what State did to Auburn. Auburn stammered around in a daze and had a wake up call against Monroe. And there is no shame in losing to LSU although Kragthorpe and Malzahn must have both had time contraints working with the newbies but I'm sure our resident X coordinator can shed some light on the subject.
Although off to a slow start, I still say Frazier comes around and becomes a very good Auburn QB. No I do not think he can put up the gaudy numbers of Campbell or the comp. pcts. of Cox but I do think he will be a winner, better than serviceable. I do not have anything to back it up but I do think Loeffler will work with him on his mechanics to where the decision making on the field will come more naturally. And I only mention Frazier because so many have harped on the kid as if he was supposed to be ready to take the torch from Moseley, uh Trotter or was it...anyway I think the Malzahn's revolving QB cluster fuck slowed the progress or at least hurt the confidence of our RS Fr. And no I don't expect anyone to understand.
I did mention after last season that I hoped that someone would see fit to employ Cam's QB coach (Whitfield) or another to help hone the kid into something beyond a shotgun QB master of the four yard draw, or read option if you must. And you can go on with comparisons with others and I'm not going to put up much of an argument because I haven't seen enough of Frazier to proclaim him a total bust just because the A&M kid hit the scene like Tyler Wilson did against Auburn in 2010. But only time will tell and we have to take it game by game. We might even have to deal with another type of slowdown in growth to where he isn't allowed to progress due to the decisions of Chizik playing too conservative in far too many close games. But I think when Chiz talks about learning to win he is using the 2010 formula which was Cam saves the day, all fine and dandy when you have a cast of upperclassmen surrounding you but not so much when you are considered a veteran because you sprinted out on the field for half a season to help run the clock in an effort to keep the other team from scoring fifty.
And we all agreed that wasn't Auburn football and now we want it back immediately. But I can't hang the lack of development on the players when it seems to be across the board. And to think all along it must have been the lack of tutors. Huh! Go figure.
DEFENSE RESTS.
