Looking down on this from 30,000 feet. If a talent like Craig-Myers sees the writing on the wall for his future with Auburn, and that writing spells Seth Williams, I would say Auburn's future at that position must be sound.

Allow me to amend my post. I presume he is calling or influencing a particular play call. I'm likely wrong but I still get that vibe.

I'm good with Malzahn. I fully expect Auburn to win them all until Athens. One of his tendencies, which bugs the crap out of me, is his calling some 'look how smart a coach I am' type of play when a simple qb sneak would be successful. And conversely, when a somewhat dynamic play needs to be run, we see a dive play for the umpteenth time. You watch. At some point in either the Arkansas or Mississippi Southern games, he will call a fake punt, or fake field goal, or halfback pass, etc, that will be successful. When Auburn will already have a big lead. But you won't see such a play against Mississippi State. Postscript. Not intended as a bash of Malzahn.

Sometimes taking the pants off thing is not such a good idea. but you're are spot on about the sheer stupidity part. Case in point. https://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2012/10/alabama_fan_agrees_to_11th_hou.html

I'm confused, easily so, with this Craig-Myers talk on how underutilized he is. Seems I recall seeing comments stating he is not getting open when on the field. So what is it? Is he open and Stidham is not getting him the ball? Or is he not being targeted because he is not open?

Or until he gets tired of being 'CO' offensive coordinator.

Right. Shoulda been a holding call, not PI.

I agree here. During the entire final drive I was pleading 'some one make a play. Someone step up, beat their man, and make a play'.

This layman's opinion is TOT was a great play caller.

I don't have enough fingers and toes. Maybe if I count them over times each.

WOW It is a business.

Yep, still in the top 10. I see losses in the future for LSU, Stanford, Oklahoma and Notre Dame. Auburn will be deep in the playoff discussion by the time they head to Athens.

Nor have I. Pat Dye had those two Auburn teams playing on egg shells. Definitely playing not to lose instead of playing to win.

The officiating was not so good. But I don't lay blame on the referees for Auburn losing. Auburn lost that game. No one talks about the 4th quarter, 12 second, 71 yard one play touchdown drive lsu had. How do you blame the officials for that? If lsu were to score on that drive, after burning 4 or 5 minutes to do it, then there is no time left for a final second 42 yard field goal. Blame the crappy play by the Auburn defensive backs. Or if Auburn makes a first down on the last possession there is likely not enough time left lsu to drive for a field goal. And if I recall correctly, Auburn's center clearly held on the first down play of that drive, negating a good first down gain. Auburn lost.
