gr82b4au 5,568 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Of course there are a few things we all wish would change and I wish we could have a do over with Clemson but watching this team come together week after week has been great. 3 blowouts in the sec has been fun. big plays. Great QB play. Unreal defensive play. KJ playing well despite being hurt. WRs are starting to make plays. It really has been a lot of fun to watch. Looking forward to this weekend! Hope we keep it going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountStandya 81 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah it is nice not to have nail biters every game. The WR are really coming on. We have the best defense since Tubberville. We have a QB that can acutally pass down field .....which is exactly how you beat bama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,641 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hope Noah continues developing on KR. His return gave me the remembrance of how good we were in that regard last championship year. Punt return game has been absolutely nonexistent since Quan left though. I cant possibly imagine Devan or Noah hasn’t pushed Stephen at all there (I understand Gus loves the sure hands there, but cmon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have deeveliped since Clemson, but we still have to protect the passer well against a good pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I’ll be having fun when Auburn beats a good team. Tamu looks to be the first real team since Clemson. Stomp LSU, beat Tamu, UGA and keep the iron bowl competitive then we’ll be having a lot of fun! Playoffs or Sugar Bowl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you haven't had fun the last few weeks watching Auburn football? How is that even possible for an Auburn fan? I will admit that we were a little boring the first few weeks but now the offense is starting to gel and we are actually fun to watch. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 3 weeks, even if the teams we beat were over-matched. Be thankful you are not an Oklahoma fan who watched their team lose at home as a 30 point favorite.

We lost to the defending national champs by 8 points, at night, on the road, with a QB that had only played 1 game in almost 2 years. Yeah, it was ugly, but I've seen nothing but improvement ever since the end of the 3rd game of the season. If we play our cards right, we might even get to right that wrong against Clempson on New Year's Day.... War Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1auburn1 1,110 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I wary of the soft doughy middle of the schedule. I was misled by the same scenario last season. I'll feel pretty good with a decisive win this week and better with an A&M win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU, although they are a long way from it so far, has the potential to be a pretty good team. Lots of talent there! Plus it’s been forever since we beat them at BR, so I will be happy with even an ugly win there. Without major injuries, I really don’t see much of a possibility of losing to arky. Then we get 2 weeks to rest up and prepare for a&m. I’ve been waiting for their descent into dumpster fire for the last few weeks. It hasn’t happened yet. Either way, I like our chances. Assuming we handle the road trip well and go 3-0, then things start to get real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift 350 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It's been a roller coaster ride for sure. Things seem to be coming together. I must admit, I was concerned at the beginning of the season but Gus seems to have sorted through most of the issues. Hopefully, we can end strong. Ran across this today. Can't help but laugh. Pretty spot on and these guys are funny to me: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m definitely happy with wins and seeing Auburn dismantle 3 SEC teams has been great. I was on the plains Saturday and that first half was spot on. I’m ready to see Auburn beat a team it’s not supposed to or win a game that’s 50/50. Clemson, UGA, and Bama are those sorts of games. It’s been a couple years since Auburn won a game like that. Iowa State fans had lots of fun this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoetTiger 1,896 Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Auburn has been tested...on the road against the 2nd ranked team in the nation.Was still growing offensively and was without KJ. A few teams have yet to be tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Vanderbilt being my uh oh moment. I think that was when we lost KP and White was the walking wounded. I’m apprehensive before every game. Seems like that has always been part of being an auburn fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
