It was a tale of two halves as Auburn appeared to be headed to another dominating performance but ended up going through the motions to close out the second half. Auburn had 391-yards and 35 points by halftime but finished the game with 170-yards and 9 points. The defense allowed 204 yards during the first half and 225-yards during the second half. It was the worst performance by the Auburn defense on the season, which failed to register a turnover and recorded only three tackles for loss. Auburn defenders took poor angles throughout the game, and there were way too many missed tackles. Tackles for loss has descended every game since the season opener, which is becoming an alarming concern.

 

The Auburn offense appeared to be headed to record-setting pace during the first half, scoring five touchdowns on their first five possessions of the game. With 2:21 left in the first half and the ball at their 10-yard line, Auburn had an opportunity to work on their two-minute offense. With 2nd & 6 at the Rebel 42, Auburn called a timeout and elected to run the wildcat package, resulting in a 1-yard loss. This play killed the momentum of the drive, which carried over to the second-half. It was the perfect opportunity to allow Jarrett Stidham and the offense to work on the passing game within the two-minute situation. If Auburn scores another touchdown, the score is 42-3 at halftime, and Malik Willis can play the entire second-half.

 

Malik Willis ended up with one series for the game, where he handed off the ball four times to run the clock out. Auburn's best drive of the second-half, was a 13 play drive, which featured 10 Kerryon Johnson carries with Auburn leading 38-10. Auburn's defense defended 49 snaps during the first half, which likely weighed into the decision to run the clock the second-half. The decision to run the football was the right choice but failing to feature Malik Willis as the quarterback to run a heavy-run concept was baffling. Auburn ran the ball 80 percent of the time during their last four possessions, but Willis was the quarterback on only 6 of the last 30 snaps.

 

There were several significant individual performances on offense, including Kerryon Johnson who finished with a career-high, 204-yards rushing. Ryan Davis made a spectacular play on the screenplay for a 75-yard touchdown. Darius Slayton made an incredible catch to gain 20-yards with Stidham scrambling for his life. Though he attempted only 21 passes, Stidham recorded seven impact plays in the passing game. The talent is there to be an explosive offense, but the coaches are often their own worst enemy. There have been 14 occasions this season the Auburn offense gained 30-plus yards on a play without scoring. Auburn has called a run play after all 14 big gains, netting 48-yards on 14 carries. Of the 48-yards gained, 41 came on three run plays, leaving 7-yards gained on the remaining 11 snaps. During the last three games, Auburn is running the football 82 percent of the time on first down.

this why so many are still concerned about our offense. Predictable and stale. Those tendencies will result in losses to UGA and UA.

Exactly, if the fans can see it, so can opposing teams. The great offensive performance the past few weeks has caused the defense to be lackadaisical. I thought these games was about getting better each week. Still more work to do , imo.

Surely the coaches have to see what we are seeing? Is Gus just that stubborn that he thinks it is going to work the next time he tries it. 

 

This is is why I haven't gotten my hopes up on this season. Been too many times that he tries this with UGA and UA and we have absolutely no offense those games.

I hate it. So sad that everyone sees it coming. I wish we would completely scrap that play. 

I wish someone would ask Gus in a press conference why we continue to run this when everyone in the country sees it coming.

If that happens Gus better have United van lines on speed dial.

Can someone with higher than Jr High coaching experience please explain to me what advantage a team has running the wildcat, other than setting up a trick play for future opponents. I just don't get it. (cross posted)

The idea is to gain an extra blocker at the point of attack and create mismatches.

 

I hate the wildcat...

How do you figure an extra blocker when the QB just splits out to WR and basically steps out of bounds?  Seems to me you lose a blocker. I hate it too but seems everyone is running it these days.

Typically you have a wr split out and the QB handing off and doing nothing afterwards. In the wildcat, the QB removes a corner and you replace his spot with a blocker.

In IMO, it seems like Gus is doing everything he can to give Auburn cause to fire him. With 5 conference left, I see Auburn only winning 2 and losing 3 of them.

Which 3?

And ask him why qb2 doesn't get a chance, after burning his red shirt, to run more than 6 clock grinding snaps....maybe even a pass. There'll be no garbage time next couple games. Same as last year, which btw- stat was all over it then too.

Stat and Bird be careful, you'll be called Gus haters for pointing out the obvious.
Thanks for the honest evaluations.

I was concerned we couldn't get more heat on their QB.  I guess we were scared of his running ability and it appeared their game plan was for him to get the ball out really quickly on a lot of his throws.

I don't think anyone giving honest evaluations will be called out. I would hope not.

Obnoxious, incessant whining is a different matter and sometimes worthy of criticism.

That would be a great question. What the hell are AU beat writers asking anyway? "Hey Gus, noticed in the second half what's your favorite ice cream?"

I, like most everyone else, loved the first half and was disappointed with the 2nd.  I am pleased to see some improvements each week in some areas.  This week our running game looked better.

Stat, I always appreciate your input. Your stats are great!  And I agree with your assessment.  However, the one gripe I have is the 2 point deduction on the offense.  As you know, stats should be objective, a 2 point deduction because you didn’t agree with the playcalling in the 2nd half is very subjective.  I didn’t like the 2nd half either, but stats are stats. 

Thanks again!!!  I really do appreciate all the free content you share with us!!!
