AUBURN. After last week's decidedly ho-hum display against FAU, it's safe to say the Tigers will need every offensive weapon they can get facing South Carolina this Saturday in Columbia. But one weapon they won't have is redshirt freshman receiver Trovon Reed, who Gene Chizik said yesterday was doubtful for the game with a shoulder injury suffered vs. the Owls. He then confirmed today that Reed will not play against the Gamecocks. Reed has collected 13 receptions so far this season for 91 yards, making him Auburn's second-most productive receiver to date.
The matchup against Carolina will be broadcast on CBS at 3:30 ET Saturday. The Tigers will likely stick with the simplified cover 2 defensive schemes that led to (somewhat) better results against FAU. The inexperienced Tiger offensive line doesn't have its chemistry perfected yet, says senior guard Jared Cooper--potentially a major issue confronting the Gamecocks' beastly defensive line.
At this point, I am numb...

Frick!!! Now, we have to hold our breath on every punt.
Wait, we never make the other team punt. Never mind.
-
I wish I could say I was concerned.
Reed is probably a sure-thing to catch the punt, but what has he really done in terms of productivity?

I thought he was going to be the man the way the Climpsum game started out. They quit going to him after the first quarter.

Put Mason back there to catch punts

I figure that Bray will be the one catching punts from here until Reed is healthy.

May not matter - punts only come after unsuccesful third down attempts

Might go back to Carr.

Might as well put Ladarious Phillips back there.

Carr's a fair catch guy. I just said that because we will probably go safe instead of experimenting.
I say we go Frank Beamer on their asses and fuck the punter up straight away. Problem solved.

I like this. At least it would be fun to watch.

I second that. I didn't get to see the game but they said something on Radio about Lutz being dressed out but didn't play, what's his status?

Probable. He's been limited to practice and should be ready.

I have been dissappointed in the next "Percy Harvin". I thought he would have done more by now. I think all the "plays" he was making in scrimmages had less to do with Reed being Percy Harvin, and more to do with our defense being a bunch of god damn pee wee tacklers...
