Thoughts - Week Offense

Thoughts - Week Offense
« on: October 26, 2014, 11:32:34 AM »
Auburn

- So we got no defense.  Do we? 

- I think that was a bit more of a testament to what Spurrier was playing for.  He's still one of the best offensive minds in football, and it looked like the Florida of old.  Throwing down field.  Trick plays.  Risky calls.  Going for it on 4th down. 

- Our defense allowed what?  4?  5 4th down conversions?  What's the score if we stop those?  I mean, we didn't.  But at least we were in position to really beat them handedly.  Our offense was unstoppable.  One or two stops and this is a 21+ point victory.

- Our defense is prone to big plays.  Was evident in the Arkansas game.  Definitely evident now.  This scares me against a team like Alabama who has guys that can burn down field like Cooper.

- We've still played through one of the toughest schedules in college football and are 6-1.  Best part is I don't feel like we've played our best game yet.  Here's to Gus being able to continue to make this team better and better, like 2013. 

South Carolina

- Was this it for Steve?  USCe was supposed to be the it team in the East this year.  They lose some of those playmakers for next year and he doesn't seem to have that 2nd string quarterback that would be ready to take over.

- It looked like Spurrier really wanted this game.  After going 0-5 against Auburn since being at South Carolina, it looked like he threw the whole book at us.  He's 0-6.  He'll most likely never beat Auburn again. 

Alabama

- Let's be honest.  They're quickly becoming one of the scariest teams in the SEC.  A QB that can run.  Playmakers at receiver.  A few big time running backs and a Nick Saban defense.  Still not the Alabama that we've seen over the last five years, but I wouldn't be surprised if Alabama got into the playoff or won the SECCG. 

LSU

- A young team that's getting better.  Big win for Les Miles whose mother passed away Friday evening. 

Ole Miss

- They are who we thought they were.  Bo Wallace is still a chump no matter what kind of Gameday specials they do on his fucking haircuts.  He's a punk bitch who storms off the field before the end of a game.  LSU folk are saying he got chewed out by Freeze because he wouldn't stop getting into shouting matches with LSU fans in the stands.

- That Landshark defense is stout, but LSU exposed a bit of their weaknesses.  LSU was able to run up the middle on them.  Can Auburn? 

Miss State

- This is a very good football team, but I'm getting really tired of the "DAK PRESCOTT RUNS FOR 7 YARDS; HE'S JUST AS GOOD AS TEBOW AND NEWTON!" comments.  He's a very good quarterback.  He's not a legend.  Sorry.

- Josh Robinson is on steroids.  His voice is high pitched, and name me the last SEC running back that could break 9 tackles on a consistent basis.  Sorry, I'm not buying that he's not juicing when he's carrying six SEC defensive players on his back down the field.  Not even Juice King Trent Richardson could do what Robinson is doing. 

Oregon

- Sad that Oregon will get a free ticket to the playoff.  California was running and passing all over this Oregon team.  Who's California's OC?  Tony Franklin.

Final Thoughts

- Texas A&M scares me more than Ole Miss.  I don't think Ole Miss has the players to outright beat us.  If we come out flat for another away game, I'll be really worried.  I think our offense is hitting its stride.  It's not as potent as 2013, but we're finding out what works for us. 

- But our defense is porous and prone to big pass plays down field.  That's A&M's mojo.  Sumlin'll be licking his chops.  I foresee the final of that one being something like 49-38.  Hopefully with us winning.

Exactly.

As for the good guys, I think we're seeing the AU offense click now: 395 rushing; drives of 6, 7, 10, 11 and 13 plays to score touchdowns (none shorter than 75 yards).  This is the clock-chewing, defense-demoralizing bruising running game that we've come to expect.  Nice to see it again.

Yep.

They're building a rep against paper tigers (UF, UT and A&M).  All the sweeter when we knock 'em down.

It was funny, Palmer had mentioned this exact thing and the very next play Auburn scored on a one play drive. It was lovely.

I had a feeling Spurrier was coming in with all hands on deck and ready to do battle. He had nothing to lose but a "1st" to gain along with saving this season. Spurrier had Gus wearing that gum out but in the end, Gus had one more play in his arsenal than the Ol' Ball Coach.

We have more than enough talent to field a respectable defense. No way Johnson can repeat last night's performance against Bo Wallace with no running backs. Chavous couldn't handle us but he stopped Freeze and so should we given we have the blueprint.

Update on Thoughts - Week Offense.  Captain Artimus Pyle is now 2nd in the SEC in rushing with 831 yards.  Nick Marshall sits at 11th with 581.  Can we get two 1,000 yard rushers again?

Another thought -

Outside of Texas A&M, which should be an easy win, home games are pretty much finished this year.  That sucks.  This schedule sucks.  I don't understand why we would ever approve @Georgia and @Alabama in the same year even if every other year is a big benefit to us.

Add in the game at KSU and the season tickets this year were very meh.  Unfortunately, to keep getting them for the alternate years, the sales will still be up.

Gotta agree.

Don't really get where all the bama love is coming from again all of a sudden.  They beat a highly over rated aTm who just announced that their QB race is open again.  I still stick by my 3 losses.

I think they lose to LSU or Miss State. Although I would like to see them lose both, as much as I hate to say it, I would prefer they lose to LSU and beat State.

Blake Sims is the Heisman front runner.  It's his to lose. 

The Bama knob schlob-fest is just more of the incessant need the media has to find anything positive so they can put Lord Saybinz on a pettystool.  Up until the Florida game, it was wailing and gnashing of teeth.  They were facing a long season without a QB, LS and Kiffin were mortal enemies and the defense couldn't cover anybody.  Then they blow out Gatah and I heard one "expert" proclaim Sims as the best QB in the SEC, if not the nation.  SI does a piece on Lane's jeenyus and the defense is now back to 92' level.

Win a one point game against the worst...yes, the worst team in the league, a game they would have/should have lost had Brett Bulemia not decided to throw on every down in the second half. (40 passes).  Suddenly Sims sucks again and Kiffin doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.  Whoa, wait a minute.  They whip ass on a team that is coming off two straight prison-style gang rapes and suddenly they're an unstoppable force again.
