bigbird 60,512 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 ...In September. It has been ugly and we should be 3-1 possibly 4-0, but if people asked if you would take 2-2 at the end of September before the season started many of us would've said yes. This win was ugly...very ugly. We left way too many points on the field and had way too many dropped passes, missed blocks and other miscues. However, we fond a way to win, which is always better than the alternative. I hope we continue to improve and play calling gets better, but I have my doubts. That said, I'm sitting here thinking about 2-2 and not as upset as I could've been. The season is salvageable. Improvement is greatly needed, but winning sure as heck feels good.

gr82be 14,423 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Whether coincidence or not the almost 2 year old slide that the team has been in since the Texas A&M game of '14 seemed to be started with a hard luck finish for a team of never say die players and coaches. Let's hope this is the game that these players can look at and say that it all started with that crazy game against LSU and they have nothing but good times ahead. War Eagle.

lala 327 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Very difficult schedule so far. We've not played well at all but if A&M wins tonight our losses will be to 2 top ten teams and both are New Yr day caliber. We moved the ball great between the 20's tonight but that is not getting it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a turning point for a team looking to grow up, that's for sure. I also didn't see much of anything that was not fixable as far as red zone issues, so if the offense can get those issues ironed out and the defense keeps playing at this level, better days are not too far ahead.

Two shots into the end zone to end the Clemson game. If we connect on either one and Legatron makes the PAT, AU wins that game and this season has a whole different flavor.

SCTiger2011 1,277 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 One W doesn't change my outlook on the deficiencies in the program, but I sure as hell am going to celebrate the W regardless. Congrats to the coaches and players and hopefully this skeptic is proven completely wrong the rest of the season! War Damn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I feel most thought we would be 2-2 However most felt the win would be against Texas A&M and not LSU. I sure didnt think we win either! I have never been so happy to be wrong before! WDE from Eugene Oregon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WDE_OxPx_2010 5,297 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 How big was this win? Think about this for a moment- IF Ark beats aTm, then we control our own destiny for Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildlife alumni 304 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I have to say play calling was better. A few plays that did not work I thought were actually good calls. Better blocking in the red zone or someone making a play would have made things look a lot different. Of course some did leave me scratching my head. That being said, maybe there can be hope this year. If the young recivers can step up and become play makers on the outside and they allow SW to throw the ball to them the o may look a lot different by years end. Very conservative most of the night. Especially in the red zone. Looked like they wanted to make sure they got points in the second half and not risk turning the ball over. 2 and 2 may not be to bad if they can build on tonight.

FoundationEagle 637 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 It's only taken me an hour to smile (and it lasted for a good 1/2 second). But, never the less...I smiled. It will take massive play calling changes to finish better than 7-5. 6-6 likely causes at very least wholesale changes, if not all out mutiny. But, there's a chance SEC win against a "top 20" team. It's definitely "Miles" ahead of last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUinfusion 390 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I saw one kid who found a whole new level of serious tonight was KJ. After he got stuffed at the 1/2 yard line to end the half, he came out running angry. I think he might have leveled up tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
