War Eagle! This is Auburn’s first win at the home of a ranked non-conference opponent since a 42-41 win at No. 9 FSU in 1984. HC Gus Malzahn Phillip Marshall/247Sports (via YouTube) Malzahn: "We're very very happy to get a very tough-earned victory." Malzahn."This is one of the games I really think can help us in the future. We faced some adversity tonight." Malzahn on Duke Williams' play: "You run football and give them a chance to win game with 40 seconds or you go ahead and try to win game yourself. ...We're going to keep giving him the ball. He's a special-type talent." Malzahn on Nick Marshall on coming through in the clutch: "He's got a knack for that." Malzahn tips his visor to Auburn's defense in 20-14 win over Kansas State. "I'm very proud they found a way to win," he said. Phillip Marshall/247Sports (via YouTube) Meanwhile, at Toomer's ...

Dom1ni0n 51 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 The secondary played more physical...very impressed. In hindsight, it would have been great if T. Reed could have converted in '13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,569 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 You take a deep breath, congratulate the opponent on playing their ass off, and you walk out 3-0. That's a game that could be the turning point for the 2014 team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle84 0 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Much closer than I expected. Glad to see improvement on our D. Offense never seemed to get in sync, though. I'll take any win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 similar to the MSU game where we had 120 yards rushing. Look to get red hot soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,849 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Very poor performance on the big, prime time national tv slot which is very unfortunate. I mean we won, barely. Time to move on and get crap fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFE12 9,191 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 "Auburn's so good on offense but their defense is so so" Now in this game defense is good but offense is so so, Why oh Why can't we be a complete team!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shut down the bread and butter of K-States offense, which is the rushing attack, yet Pollack states the defense hasn't improved... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 A win against a ranked team on the road....I'm OK with that. Sure KSU made mistakes but our WRs missed half a dozen catchable balls, some of which were probably TDs..... So glad that's behind us. D gave up 40 yards rushing.....hard to complain about that but I expect there are some on here who will find fault with that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,469 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Gutted it out on defense. Loved what I saw from Frost and T Reed. Beautiful throw by Marshall at the end to ice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,984 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Pro: Auburn grit Con: Refs(And I hate to call out REFS, but it was obvious) Right. Auburn should have been called on a couple more PI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,127 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Frost and Trovon Reed both played well. O-Line did a great job of pass blocking but run blocking was not very good. We won which is important but I hope we will use this game to get us going as we never really looked good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
telling tiger 156 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 W..Take it, take it, take it....Ugly.... Gotta give KState their due....they did some things we managed on offense and we had some drops that cost us points and position. Weird flow...we just weren't clicking on the O line... Best thing that can happen is we play the next game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strychnine 1,802 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 It's quite obvious that we won't be a good team until we fire Ellis Johnson and bench Nick Marshall. Even after we've done that, we'll still have to buy some refs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2kid 216 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 D played very well. O lacked. I worry about this team's drive and desire. But we got the win. Hopefully the fire and focus are back for SEC play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
