I have to say the idea that the Clemson game significantly changed our chances with JF one way or another is odd IMO. Now if the O line (& O line coaching) are like that against every top tier team we play this season, I hear y'all. But if anything Stidham paid the price for Field's potential o-line to get experience against a caliber of defense Fields would face maybe 4 or 5 times in three years. Young O line blue chippers on the roster & high ceiling potential guys like Prince coached by a guy that's developed top O lines for decades? Why would JF not be saying "Jarrett needs to get a whole lot better or I can definitely beat out what I saw tonight...and if he DOES get a whole lot better, he's going NFL."

I'm not on board with MOST losses. I am with recognizing player potential and there are ideal and less than ideal ways to intro talent to top 5 teams, that's the point.

Cracks me up how bammers posters I've never seen come out of the woodwork to pile on during times of disappointment.

Devon's coming out party! So to speak.

Nobody is a bigger Herb Hand fan than me but he (and Steele) have decades of outstanding coaching with occasional head scratching decisions. Ole Herb's designed first offensive line play against robo sacker Myles Garrett last season is a perfect example. I'm totally on board with Prince Tego's potential but making his start at a position he's never played in college before, against the best D line in college ball when you have workable seasoned guys with less potential is...odd. Water under the bridge, huge learning experience no doubt for Prince and he'll just improve before we hit the road next month against LSU & aTm. I hope so since Clemson was basically a sacrificial loss for quick experience.

I agree he was terrific in 2013 and that season was one of the best play action QBs ever - stats notwithstanding.

And those guys sequentially got us in short order, an undefeated season (1993), a national title (2010) and within seconds of a win in the national title game (2013). They all tanked AFTER quickly succeeding in monumental ways at Auburn. Saban has 1 (one) undefeated season. Ever. He loses at home or to teams like Ole Miss and still stays in the title conversation. Maybe we should hire his media relations team instead of a new coach.

Interesting, I see tonight as showing Justin that Stidham's Auburn statue is premature, jarrett looks anything but irreplaceable, and JS will take the beating to get the young blue chippers on the o line seasoned - I mean since that's what Hand's done consistently for oh, a couple decades. I didn't think a 1 TD loss to a top 5 team could ever create more chicken littling than last year's 1 TD loss to natl champ Clemson but this one is close.

Carlton Davis still looks like a freshman.

And with a 14-34-2 record against us all that later land grant college needs is to continue their winning streak against Auburn the next...21 opportunities. Without losing. Just saying.

Bubba breaks loose late after being mostly held in check for 3 quarters. I'm looking at this as Sal's showtime game.

27 -21 Auburn. (Daniel is the difference).

In the backfield, Brent is on a different planet than KJ - agreed.
