I submit to you....

I would like to have seen one shot at something not too outrageous on first down.  Something like a screen or a swing pass.  If you get 10-15 and a first down, then open it up a little more.  If not successful, then run it out.  I certainly didn't want Cam throwing it down the field.

This guy gets it.

[Godfather]

Yeah but you forget we were at our own 13 yard line.  If you go 3 and out or turn the ball over you set them up to have a chance to win.  At least in overtime, you get your shot on a shortened field.  You should at least be able to score 3.

Disagree.  Had we gone for it and gone for the win, I know for a fact based on all the hue and cry last week, everybody would be applauding the aggression even if it had cost us the game.

Newton's pass attempts are the lowest thus far after 3 games played amongst these top 9 QB's.  Malzahn needs to get this kid some more reps and run his offense with (gasp) more urgency...it seems a bit slower (plays per game) than last year.  As Wes so eloquently put:

2) We actually fucking HUDDLED UP!?!?!  Fuck me.

More reps=more pass attempts=more experience and success from Newton.  You'll see our running game become more successful as well as defenses will adjust for the pass.  Newton is already a leader on the sidelines, but if we don't get him some more reps at leading our O on the field

We have some unholy ass rapings coming our way in the near future if shit does not change.

Hey Charlie,

Fuck you.

Exactly, Auburn is phukin' loaded with dynamic athletes all over the field, so much so, we're getting ourselves out of sync trying to get the ball to all of our playmakers....in short, we have to many Ballers.

Ronnie Brown, Cadillac Williams, Courtney Taylor, Jason Campbell, Ben Obamanu and Devin Aromashadu laugh at your assertion.

I present exhibit A as to why I am glad we didn't try to push the ball against Clemson and took it into overtime.

I watched that game. Very sloppy game with lots of turnovers but was still interested to watch. So how many players end up having trainers come to them on the field, 10? Suzanne was watching with me and she said the funniest things. I mean straight out of left field, but true; she said, " Damn, what are you pussies, play some ball."

It's a great plan to be aggressive, until it's not.

I like to think we are not aTm.

[Godfather]

We aren't.  However, my point was that when you try to push the ball mistakes can happen.  ie A&M had the momentum (they had scored the last 2 tds) but that interception allowed OKS to return it to the 40 with 33 secs left make a short pass...field goal...made....game over. 

Game is over we won, no one knows what would have happened, JMO that I thought it would have been hard to push the ball from our own 13 down the field in 1:15. I am glad we went to overtime and glad we won.

I'm kinda in between here. I didn't want us to lay down and run the clock out, but I also didn't want to chunk it downfield recklessly as Johnson did last night. I was thinking bubble screens, outside runs maybe - just use short chunks to TRY and get to the 35 yard line to give Byrum a chance. We had 1.5 mins and 2 Timeouts. We didn't have to chunk it like aTm was trying to. That was just stupid on their part. They (Clemson) were giving us the underneath. Take the 7 yards and get out of bounds one play at a time.

I agree had we been maybe 20 yards further down field say our own 33 yard line.  I just think at home you are better off going to overtime.

Seriously, what has that got to do with it?

On other boards that translates to "I like to think we are not shit"; of which I totally disagree.
