AUDub 11,147 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Only one that pissed me off was the run up the gut with Stidham after the injuries. Other than that, I was tickled pink with the coaching tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskip07 930 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 auburn did it without a long hail mary. They worked the pass and run well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr82b4au 5,568 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 They did EXACTLY what they should do against a quick defense. Quick throws! I am shocked. The last few weeks have really been so much fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randman5000 4,226 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I'm mixed. The calls were fine when we knew we needed to be aggressive but down the stretch we could have put them away a series early and we chose not to. Instead we ran a hurts KJ the next series. Gus is so conservative . Yes, we won but I thought we had a couple of opportunities to step on the throat and didn't. We are going to have to rotate RBs and pass next game and keep Gus off of the headset. I knew when we were going to be aggressive and later when we were going to sit on it. I hope we break that tendency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowerOfDixieland 3,226 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Lindsey hammered the perimeter with quick throws, didn't abandon it even when we were comfortably ahead. Stidham made some great check downs, the biggest one out of the home run ball on the reverse to throw (from the freakin' wildcat) back to Ryan Davis who broke Minkah's ankles on the cut back away from the sideline. That was a thing of beauty...primary target (NCM) got held in the secondary, check down to the second receiver and let him make a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hikerdns 52 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Not criticizing, but I didn't notice many (or any) jet sweeps to Eli stove, until late 4th and bammer got a couple shoestring tackles. That's a bread and butter play for us, why did we not try to attack the edge you football gurus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Chip thought, wisely, that the jet sweep would have little success against the strength and quickness of Bama's D and would have, in fact, resulted in lost yards more often than not.

Scotty2Hotty 520 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 My only complaint was why we stopped throwing WR screens. They ate Alabama alive and kept Kerryon's gas tank close to full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have run the CoxCat just once as a shout out to Cox, who blocks his butt off on every play and is such a big part of O's success running the ball.

DAG 33,980 Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 CCL is in his groove and Kudos CGM for finally allowing and trusting him. That is the makings of an elite coach. Now, let's crush the puppies so we can play Wisconsin in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
