Thoughts from A-Day

Any reason to return to Auburn is always a great one. The weather was gorgeous and it was great to share it with the AUFAMILY.

A-Day is for the fans and we should never read too much into the scrimmage, good or bad.

[b]Here are some thoughts from the...

One of the keys for success in the West Coast passing schemes is the underneath routes designed to create match up issues for the opposing defense. This is the primary reason why Scot Loeffler prefers to have his wide-receivers crossed-trained to play all the WR positions. This will allow him to move his personnel around to create possible...

Based on the breakdown of Auburn's pass-offense vs. Virginia, it was clear Coach Gus Malzahn felt confident in attacking the Cavalier defense with Auburn's perimeter passing game. Auburn utilized a wide variety of screen passes against Virginia with great success. One of the pass plays resulted in a 25-yard touchdown from [b]Barrett...

Once again, Coach Gene Chizik’s staff did a solid job of preparing their team for bowl game competition. There were many distractions leading up to this season’s game but the coaching staff and players were able to overcome the obstacles to defeat their opponent by 19-points. The...

It's Onterio time

With Michael Dyer suspended from the team, Onterio McCalebb could become the featured running back against Virginia in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The junior RB is just 93-yards short of 200 career rushing yards. If McCalebb were to reach the 2000-yard mark, he would become the 14th player in school history to do so and would have the...

A pass play that could be extremely successful against Alabama is the Tigers slip pass in the flat to Onterio McCalebb. Auburn executed a similar play against Alabama last season with Mario Fannin as the recipient. Auburn executed the play against Clemson, which resulted in an explosive play for the Tiger offense.

We have seen more 2-back sets this season with the combination of Michael Dyer and Onterio McCalebb. It was needed to make up for the loss of Cameron Newton. Dyer is now the inside threat and McCalebb is the outside threat.

IMO, Gus Malzahn will have to call quick-hitting plays against a great Alabama defense. The Tide will eat up slow developing plays. Though misdirection and motion will help, the plays cannot be slow in development. I've gone back through the season in an attempt to find plays that would be effective against Alabama.

Samford Postgame Thoughts

Normally when we look at the success and failures of a college football team we consider talent, depth and coaching. We all know recruiting is the lifeline of any collegiate team and the development of the players will decide whether or not a team obtains the most of their...

Coach Pat Dye was right when he stated Georgia was the third most physical team in the SEC. The way they played tonight, they could give LSU or Alabama a run for their money and they will get their shot in the SECCG. This game was identical to the LSU game as Auburn was simply dominated up front on both sides of the football. Auburn was...
