As long as we don't get away from our Identity we will be good. Run the ball and control tempo & the line. Don't get into an air raid match with them. Isn't that the very reason why Auburn fans are so excited about the Chip Lindsey hire? Because we will get away from our identity and have much more of an air raid passing attack and not be so predictable on offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want us to be dominate in the run game. I think he will bring some more balance, and get us to a point where we can throw when we want to, as opposed to when we have to. But, by no means do I want us to lose our identity as a run first team. That's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one of the reasons why Chip Lindsey was explicitly hired. He understands AU identity is to be a physical team, who wants to run at will. He is here to bring more balance on the offensive end.

The big contrast I'm hoping for is perhaps the ability to pass when the defense is daring us too. I would surmise, many would be happy with the results of us running the ball 80% of the time if the opposing team is willing to leave just 6-7 players in the box. The issue is, we need something for when there are 8-9 in the box. Being able to manufacture completions in obvious passing advantage situations has been a limitation for us the past couple years.

GwillMac6 20,526 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 passing on first down and when we go "fast" will be the biggest change I imagine. It will be such a welcome sight to run different plays in those situations. Everyone knew what was coming which included the opposing defenses.

Win4AU 4,044 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Other than the Tamu game Ole Miss struggled mightily with Patterson at qb. They should be better with a whole offseason to practice but they were bad the last 3 games of the season. I see Miss State potential but Fitzgerald is a turnover machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,739 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 ^As dangerous as Fitz is, I don't really think the Cowbells have a lot else going for them besides that...well, and an as-usual cake OOC schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to give fits to every sec team they play this year and could play spoiler even if their D cannot stop anyone. This is the main reason why we'll beat Ole Miss. Sure they can put up points but their defense is not good. Patterson will likely be a good QB but he'll be pressed to put up points b/c of their lack of defense and be susceptible to 1-2 INTs a game. Ole Miss doesn't worry me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jAUSon 2,836 Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Ole Miss should blend in our schedule......of trap games. They don't stand out to me for my $.02. What does stand out to me more than anything is the difference (on paper) between the preparedness of this team and teams of the past. Not to mention we should be putting on the field something we haven't really seen since tubbervile: defense. War eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToomersStreet 795 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Personally I think both the Mississippi's are trap games. Last year was a rebuilding season for state and Nick Fitzgerald looks like a solid QB and Ole Miss QB and recievers should make for a tough game.

I think Miss St. is def. a bigger threat to us than Ole Miss. I just don't think Ole Miss will not be able to stop many teams on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwillMac6 20,526 Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Guys I think a lot of yall are missing the point of trap games. They are the games everyone EXPECTS US TOO WIN! That is why they are a trap game! lol. It is not going to be a more obvious game like arky on the road with a really good qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburn4ever 1,266 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 As I look over our schedule, any one of those teams could be a trap game if we're not ready to play. Ole Miss, Miss. State, Missouri even Georgia Southern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a nice little piece of info there. Not only that, but they seem to get emotionally "up" for their match up with UAT every year. Hopefully that wears them out mentally as well.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 All I'm saying is that if we take Georgia Southern lightly, they have a running game that will make you warn out long before the end of the 3rd quarter is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair I think Gus has Bielemas' number. Bret's only win against Gus was in 2015 in Fayetteville against a bad Auburn team and it took him four OT's to do it.
