I third this. Fuck Gus!

Gus carries the lion's share of the blame, but that was a pretty egregious spectacle of SEC protectionism.

At least two games this season have been directly impacted by the refs' refusal to call holding in the face of the Auburn pass rush.

Well, after Gus "taking over" the offensive playcalling, there isnt any where for Gus to run, away from the blame that is. Offensive genius? Nah. That was pathetic. Just pathetic.

The offensive line cannot create consistent running lanes. Therefore, RBs can't get loose except on rare occasions. That's the key to Gus's offensive "plan" and it's disrupted.

The QB has talent but is raw and does not receive quality coaching. Therefore, he is erratic and "skittish rabbit" in the pocket, particularly in key moments.

That's a recipe for a disaster in big games.

This is the best defense in the SEC, maybe the nation. They are saddled with maybe the 10th best offense in the conference. Therefore, hello 8-4.

In the state of Alabama, maybe.

Meant "in the conference." Added to OP.

Instead of giving Oregon "credit" for losing to Auburn, maybe the committee should be asking them, "how did you manage to lose to THAT offense?"

A couple of things. So many spot on points above, including the part about a very skittish QB. He panics at the first hint of pressure. Couple that with an O-line that's just not very good and consistently bad play calling and yes, it's a recipe for disaster.

My fear coming in was what no one was really talking about. I certainly wasnt and didnt want to look at the stats to confirm it. We can talk about our D all day, but FUGA is really really good. Statistically much better than ours. After last night, they're only giving up 10.5 points a game. They allow 267 total yards per game and with our 2 TDs, that's 12 total given up for the year.

Let's face it, athletic defenses have eaten our lunch all year. We have no answer and that was the best D we have faced and will face this season.

Snaggletiger · « **Reply #13 on:** November 17, 2019, 07:53:47 AM »

And BTW, despite how good their D is, I think LSU takes their lunch money. No way FUGA can outscore that bunch.

Nix had the key runs that allowed us to score twice. He also fumbled, took a bad sack and missed some throws but he played pretty well considering our offensive line wakes up to play one quarter each game and the ever present challenge of having to deal with Malzahn.

The prevailing sentiment from the Auburn folks on Twitter is we all need to shut up, stop complaining, we are the problem, we need to accept things and be better people, root for the team and give athletics all the money they want.

Prevailing from those who donâ€™t see context or trends, sure.
