Worm looked good on his one chance

Yeah, would not mind us rotating some guys to catch a spark

[AuburnTiger4Life 2,225]

Need more worm... the other two aren’t doing it for me

Would like to see what he has to offer Boobie and kam not looking great first half. 

Yes I’d like to see Asa I think he may be the guy

Wow Texas loses to Maryland again. They got themselves a Lemon at head coach 

[auburnphan 6,050]

This is the best we have looked in a first game of the season when facing a power 5 school under Gus.

We took Worm out as soon as he got us a key 1st down. Wish we would've kept him in.

We have the same issue we have had last two years no Red Zone TD's. Stidham is hot and we get in the Red Zone and won't pass on 1st down. It makes no sense.

One of the best secondaries in the nation in the redzone...I'm just glad he's not forcing anything. THAT would be bad.

Because, unless they are in phase, that is the absolute surest way to get beat by a receiver.

Pssst...they haven't been in phase much at all.

Listen to this guy folks. This is his specialty as a Texas high school coach, which is like the SEC while in high school.

Can’t argue with logic

Just want to see better play calls on 1st/2nd and long. Tbh I think our backs have actually run well but we keep sending them into a wall on obvious downs. I thought for sure we were going to see Anthony get a touch pass on a sweep. Washington will stop collapsing the middle of our line only if we give them a reason to

6th rated team....JMO but I expected them to be pretty good.   JS still losing track of time in the pocket

He was fine until later in the 2nd, and then there were a couple of plays where he held it FOREVER. No QBs clock can be that bad. He had to know to get rid of it.

It will evolve.

I hope so. But then again I thought it would evolve last year and at times it did but most of the time not so much.

I think we don’t know what to do without a marque RB. A lot of zero production first down plays. The passing is looking better, at least.

 

Honestly, we should never schedule a big opening week game again. It just takes Gus two or three games to figure his team out.

This has hardly been on the rb's..blocking and playcalling. They can only do so much.

[AUatHeart 624]

Hope I’m wrong, but I feel like we are going to get blown out in the second half.

Yeah a bit of an exaggeration but we've been in this situation too many times to count. We all know how Gus comes out after needing adjustments. 

He cannot keep us his usual routine for 2nd Half. I hope one of the coaches reminds him that 3 is smaller than 6. Hate to say it BUT Defense gave UW all the momentum they needed. Need to produce TD's in 2nd Half and play Defense like we did for 28 minutes to start the game. Gracious..Win this one Auburn!

[AU64 10,122]

Folks forgetting what penalties are doing to us..

[cole256 17,039]

Of course we have alot to work on, but for THIS game we need to get at least 3 yards on a rush and we can't let them convert 3rd and 9-11

Gotta keep the faith. For now, at least.

[Gowebb11 9,305]

We dominated early and the UW staff made great adjustments. Now lets see if our coaches can do the same. 

[AURealist 2,185]

We're close at halftime in Atlanta.  Looking to see more conservative play overall, more extreme desperation pass plays.  Third and long will be the theme.

Not me.

Just said to my Dad, there will be some consequences this coming week.  Penalties are the biggest issue in this game, by far!

[AuCivilEng1 10,995]

Considering the first half of the first game is usually the worst we look all season, I'll take this all day. 

[cole256 17,039]

It's even worse when I saw it the second time. Dean turning around does what on that last td?

I’m not losing faith at all. AU is winning . Gotta get fired up . That’s it 

[auburntiger1987 759]

Play calling other than the 2pt conversion and that dumb pass at the end of half on offense. One or two key blocks and this game is ugly. Db’s have done alright with exception of the two pi. Got to make them count and not give up the catch. The last drive for wash I put right on the dline. They sleep walked through and caused the dB’s to be all alone with a qb playing backyard toss.
