We may not get a first down against Alabama

[The Prowler]

Well...fuck. So, 8-4 is looking like a reality.

We may not get a first down against Alabama

Auburn plays Alabama A&M, like they did today...gonna struggle too.

[The Six]

Our offense today was like that performance artist who walks out on stage, disrobes, takes a shoot on the stage, and proceeds to smear it all over himself and the stage. It was called "shoot Show" and yet, somehow, we expected something different. "Maybe it's an ironic title."

Nope.

We were corcheed today by dumbfudgeery and stubborn dipshoottedry.

[Snaggletiger]

I think the biggest disappointment is no plan B.  Look, the leading rusher in the SEC is out.  Our QB hasn't thrown a pass in practice for 2 weeks because he is clearly about 40%.  But the reality is we have no one behind White.  An injured White going 6-20 for 27 yards is apparently better than anything else we can put out there. 

Kudos to Kerryon for getting 100 yards (99).  And holy shit....do we have a defense or what?  6 points given up on the road.  If our offense had done anything tonight.  Anything, our D pitches a shutout.  And they rotate guys in left and right.  So happy with the D.  Adams was off the charts. 

Bottom line.  The key from here is getting people well.  Getting prepped to play Bama.  If we're 100% healthy, we can beat that bunch.  I want to beat Bama and get a bid to the Sugar Bowl and kick Oklahoma's ass.

Just sayin'.

Maybe so but QB play didn't help. He didn't have a lot of help either.

Belk Bowl, my ninja.

Learn it. Know it. Live it.

Been watching AU football too long to get all mental up in here.  If no one has figured it out by now, Malzahn's offense is centered around one thing and one thing only.  You have to run, run, run first and foremost.  I don't care if Sean White, Chris Todd, Nick Marshall or Cam Newton is taking snaps.  If you can't control the running game first and foremost, his O is dead in the water.  Period!

That's not a knock on Malzahn.  It's just his offense.  He's not very innovative otherwise and his passing game, without the running game getting off, is high school at best.  So tonight, what do you have?  The SEC rushing leader on the sidelines and a QB with a bum shoulder.  Pettway full strength and White 100%...that's a 30-3 game.  Otherwise, we have no offense. 

Time to get healthy and prep for Bama.

We should try that on third and short instead of passing.

All I know is we suck again and the talk will be how the great Kirby Smart (Saban protégé) shut down the vaunted Auburn rushing attack...
a blueprint for domination.
Nevermind if our two most important contributor's were ailing.

Might ought to go ahead and accept a Belk Bowl invite before that gets snatched away.

When is the Gus presser, I need some reaffirming.

Hold me Snaggle and tell me some jokes.

It all hinges on White's shoulder.  If he can throw, KJ and the other guys can run behind Cox.


Tigers 31
Mutts 13

His shoulder is furked worse than anyone is letting on and KJ can't run behind Cox.  No one can.

I finally figured out how to describe the playcalling this year: Lashzahn (or whoever is calling the plays) is like an 8 year old kid playing NCAA football on the PS3/4/GateBox/etc...

He's wowed by the exotic plays (double reverses, flea flickers, bleh), but sometime early in the LaMo game he accidentally called a basic counter with Pettway in the game and it worked.  So he kept running that play over and over until he broke Pettway.  Now, he's back to calling the whirly-bird with our FB in the Wildcat.

Without Pettway and a fully healthy White, our offense is going to get stinkholed in Tuscaloosa.  Instead of enjoying the chaos yesterday and sitting in the Top 5 today, we're fighting to get to 9 wins.

And so it has been spoken.  And so it shall be.

As I said from the start, the only real upsetting thing to me about yesterday is no plan B.  Either Pettway is pounding and White is getting the ball to receivers, or we get yesterday.  And if we get yesterday in Tuscaloosa, we get....how did you put it?   Oh yeah...stinkholed.  Don't know about you but my stinkhole says exit only.

I'm not going to debate anybody on our offense from yesterday.  The numbers speak for themselves, no matter what the excuses maybe.  But despite the play calling, two things in White's defense are that we never once picked up a blitz.  He had zero chance when they brought extra pressure.  More importantly, it wasn't 2015 Arkansas bad, but in the times he did deliver the ball, our receivers did nothing to help him out. Right off hand, I can recall 2, maybe 3 that Marcus Davis should have caught.  Kam Martin on that wheel route in the 4th?  Come on, man!!! And even the last pass on 4th down over the middle to Tony Stevens.  You have to come down with that.  You HAVE to make plays!  It was a one score game and if anyone steps up, we're probably thanking the football gods for a one point win and waiting on the polls Tuesday.

And if we get a one point win, guess what?  The whole attitude on here is all about getting people healthy for Bama. But, we stinkholed ourselves instead.

Picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Why do you have to be so realistic?
