Most likely you're all right....we are most likely fucked, if the last three games are any indication.
BUT....we have to remember, our first five games weren't Ball State, Ball State, Ball State, Ball State, Ball State. We did beat a 6-1 West Virginia team. We did absolutely destroy (nearly 600 yards) a Mississippi State team that's holding it's own with other top SEC teams. We did just put 459 yards on Tennessee (who had given up 323 to Florida before they played us, and 241 to Georgia and 256 to Alabama right after they played us). So Florida, Georgia, and Alabama averaged 273 yards on Tennessee. We racked up a relatively easy 459.
You can say Mississippi State has gotten better. But Tennessee was already playing good defense when we got them on October 3rd.
What ever we had is missing. But at least we HAD something. The fact that we had it means we're still capable of doing it again. Everyone talking about this being the lowest time you can ever remember....can't you remember to just last year? From beginning to end we never had anything going last year. Remember LA-Monroe, Southern Miss, and Mississippi State last year? In those first three games we never showed we were capable of anything. That was the most helpless I've ever felt watching an Auburn offense, by far.
This group can do it, and we have watched them do it...this year, against decent teams like Tennessee, West Virginia, and Mississippi State.
Like I said, the trend isn't good, but we can't say we have no reason to think they can turn it around. It was just turned around less than a month ago. Can we get it back? I don't know, but at least we have some reason to think it could happen.
