Snhould we win the rest, we have to depend on State to lose two which would almost have to be Alabama and Ole Miss, two teams we can beat. Other than that we have little chance to return to Atlanta. State's a very good team that jumped us early and they finished us off. Hats off to Mullen and his boys...they showed up and earned it.

I don't know why, but for some reason I think Kentucky might give them an upset.

You can't spot a team like that 14. It surprised me that we actually had a chance after the 1st.

I will take a loss to them if we can win out. If we get left out of the playoff with our schedule and 1 loss, it will be a travesty, yet wouldn't surprise me at all.

I blame myself for letting GF and Kaos take the weekly hottie thread back.

I had an informal job interview (as the interviewee) yesterday and did not wear an Auburn shirt for the first time all season.

My bad. This one is on me.

Anthony Jennings' oratory skills are equal, at best, to that of Nick Marshall.

The Rebel Black Acbars are looking very stout out in College Station. I expected a bit of a letdown after beating the gumps, but they are putting one hell of a beatdown on the aggies.

Where in the fuck did all this Mississippi state swag come from? Lived here eight fucking years and have maybe seen one or two MSU items. Lots of southern miss but practically zero State.

Tonight in Target? Six different motherfuckers wearing state hats or shirts. Every last one wanted to tell me we played them tough but Mullen is a hell of a coach.

I finally asked the last one where the hell he had been for the last 15 years because be damned if I'd see on or heard a state fan in at least that long. Bitch puffed up and said he had been a bulldog for life. So I said bandwagon bulldog. And he said ran that bandwagon over y'all's chiieating ass.

And I decided to leave target.

I think Danielson was right saying we are more of a finesse team on offense this season. Doesn't mean we can't revert back to a more power running team it's just a choice that was made out of necessity.

The motion with guards pulling were not effective against Kansas State and I tend to think we all but cut it out of the playbook. Losing Kozan didn't help and the H-back blocking has been inconsistent. Doesn't allow us to get wide but once or twice a game now when it used to get good chunks of yards more frequently.

I'm hoping CAP is okay and Roc was only brought in to see if he could pop a long run, not that Grant couldn't do the same as well. Marshall has to navigate more defenders at the edges on the option whereas he had more open field last season too.

So we seem committed to take more shots downfield having Duke and Sammy. And if you want to keep that kind of talent at Auburn you have to display it. Still before yesterday we were averaging a meager 19 pass attempts per game so what we got was mainly out of desperation.
And I don't think Johnson is the best option for the cohesiveness of the team unless you are intent on throwing 30+ times per game.

So we ran off the road and fell behind early which was largely on the defense. But we seemed to recover a bit with some timely picks, got a bad call, fumbled and got stuck in the ditch again. Not the end of the world. Just got a lot tougher having to depend on the opinions of others instead of proving it unblemished.

One thing is evident, so far...we're not a HUNH offense. We're a get to the line of scrimmage, look over the defense, get the offensive play call in, then make sure everyone knows the correct play, then snap it with less than 5 seconds on the play clock....or we get to the line and do the dive play right into the backs of our offensive linemen, averaging about a yard on the first down play. Second down play will net about 3 yards on avg...then we call the Hail Mary bomb to Coates or Duke on 3rd & 6.

I've said since the KSU game that we apparently don't have a mid range passing game on third down, either that or Marshall just keeps throwing the damn long ball...either way it usually results in a punt, unless Sammie or Duke makes a Sports Center type catch. We really do miss Prosch more than I thought we would...Also, we're not getting a surge from the OL at all, that may be because the DLs that we've faced have been very strong or our OL just aren't that strong, IDK.

Yeah we aren't a smashmouth team nor are we trying to run 80 plays per game...and I hate it, especially since we have a pretty good run defense. We got suckered in the red zone by not having a safety at the goal line on several of Prescott's carries. And we still haven't figured out that we cannot mug a receiver while the ball is in flight.

This is the team that we thought would trouble us the most. But like you, I want an intermediate pass game or better yet, a quick game that also utilizes our backs more. We saw that against LSU but very little yesterday.

We would have been down 14-0 to almost any other team in the west in the 1st quarter....all self inflicted. MSU merely capitalized on our own bad play. And it was too much to overcome on the road in the rain.

Check out the stats....nearly even aside from TO's. And prowler is right - we look nothing like a HUNH or a true zone read O. It looked similar to fun n gun circa Spurrier in the 90s. Except Marshall cannot connect those passes.

If we are going to go vertical like that with the big bombs, then I may start having to agree with CCT on JJ.

Oh I agree but it won't happen, not with playmaker Marshall and the mindset that we can win any close game. How about learning to play with the lead and actually finishing?
I too enjoy watching JJ at QB but aren't we supposed to stick with the company line, "In Gus We trust?"
I don't doubt he has his fingers on the pulse of the offense but it's kind of tiresome watching us fight while on our backs instead of toeing up and hammering away from start to finish.

JMO, but it looks like Nick runs scared. I don't expect him to plow over people, but on the read sweep if he keeps the ball he heads out of bounds if a defender gets the in the area.
