***Auburn vs. La-Monroe -- Game Thread***

[AUJedi 243]

I expected us to sleepwalk in this game. I wouldn't read too much into it. As long as we win by 1 point and stay healthy I'm happy. Very tough game emotionally and the Super Bowl for ULM 

[Devilhorse 63]

Didn't even look like the same team.  Hope they invite them back after half time.

[alexava 6,973]

I predict 35-7 now 

[Randman5000 4,226]

Can we score again before the half?

Sorry but the players need to care as much as the coaches and fans....not seeing much of that yet. 

This is so true...but managing their emotions, rewarding/disciplining effort or lack of it, and building character consistency--win or lose and in the how of it--is honestly a visionary head coach's responsibility.  I keep saying I want to believe...but we MUST agree on this board that what we have seen for five years IS like Forrest Gump's box of chocolate.

To you conspiracy theorist idiots? the latter. Anytime someone calls the team out, they are either bias or Bammers. Stop with the little brother syndrome. Our boys were playing flat and the announcers called it out.

It doesn't have to be a conspiracy theorist to point out bias. Do you know what bias is? I didn't say that the announcers were ULM fans.

JS looked like he was playing fast and made quick decisions on that drive. Keep it up

[AubieAH3 238]

Ridley is going to be our biggest concern next week. He is an absolute beast and I honestly don't know how we are going to stop him. We are going to have to pray we can get enough pressure on Hurts that he can't make the throws, becuase, I'm sorry, but if it's Ridley against our DBs then we are in trouble...

 Who is the young coach with headphones qb talks to?

There’s no reason to be acting like you are.  You did this to me last week and now you’re doing it to other people.  Yeah I’m calling you out since you want to behave this way take it elsewhere.  No need to bash anyone on this board.

Yes, they are biased because they said AU needs to show more championship intensity. You are so right.

I think Hurts legs will be just as much of a concern..

I hope you're right, but I'm not that optimistic. Then again, we get some momentum and we should roll.

You are right. I shouldn't have called her out like that. I apologize @Tigerbelle . That is not why I called you out. I called you out because you quit on the team. I will never quit on Auburn when adversity strikes.

Yeah, but we will not play like this. I hate seeing us play sloppy like this but we all should have seen a letdown coming. We just smashed the number one team and have another number one team next week. No way the players or even coaches were going to be laser focused on ULM.

Jeff Whitaker also said he suspected a lot of Bama prep work would be happening this past week. It's showing now but should overwhelm them and hopefully by the end of the game it's something like 42-14

Half time better be nothing but pounding redbulls like a frathouse kegger. Need to wake the eff up.

No, it should be yelling. Lots and lots of yelling. Both by the coaches and player leadership. 

[ClarkGriswold 108]

BTW Holland is back in and doing fine.

Newsflash I went to Auburn and graduated from there and got my degree.  Can you say the same?  So not once have I quit and don’t sit here and tell me that I quit on my school.  Because I didn’t.  Wanting what is best for Auburn and quitting on your team are two different things and you clearly don’t understand the two but you don’t seem to understand a lot.  So good day.

They have to start making 3rd down stops.  They could pretty much shut UGA down and ULM has picked up like6 already,.

Agreed, but we have been much more effective against rushing. Ignoring this crap show today, I think we can out score them IF we can stop the running game and get a ton of pressure on Hurts. He will definitely break some plays with his legs, and I don't think we will completely stop him, but we can contain him enough. If he's able to sit back and pick his receiver we will be in some major trouble. We will not contain Ridley IMO.

Came here for this. I predict a fail on Stat's pist game report card in that defensive category
