I think Grimes was here when the line led the league in rushing and even last season Auburn could run the ball pretty good under Hand. And unless I’m mistaken I don’t think there have been too many 5 star linemen come aboard (prior to Ashley) but I could be wrong. So is it talent or coaching or a combo of both. Because I have never seen a Gus led offensive line look like this....just wanna see how some feel about it... It's a combination of both + the strength (physical) isn't up to SEC level + the shear will to dominate the man in front of you is sub-par (mental.)

AuburnEagle79 2,165 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I really like Tua, and I think he's easily the best player in the country. I am afraid, however, that in the same way that Bama cost us last year by injuring KJ (not intentionally), we may put Tua out (unintentionally). With that being said, I believe Bama will be very vanilla and just line up and beat us. Not a risky approach for them. If they lose Tua, they lose it all.

Have we got guys on the line that will all of a sudden choose to man up to future NFL caliber players like Q.Williams/I.Buggs/R.Davis? Buggs is a space eater - Williams is the guy to worry about - and I dont know much about Davis. I doubt it, but I will hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoetTiger 1,896 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 IMO We gotta try and spread them out and get them in space...stay ahead of the chains and win the turnover battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saban has lost 7 games over the last 5 seasons and 2 of them were to Malzahn, including of course the most recent IB. It's Iron Bowl week, we can do no wrong!

This is a different team. Newbie. Enjoy the first like. Had to give it regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think oline recruiting has been sub par. Get's you beat in the SEC. You have simply got to whip the guy in front of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said early on before trolls got started bad mouthing AU players. We have “enough” talent to win this game “if” it’s coached right . First make sure the players understand like DD said the other day “ they are playing to win not just to look good”. Coaches need to coach to win not just coach not to look bad. On offense go deep often and counter on the ground with motion sweeps alternating between Worm and Boobie right up the gut and giving the sweep to flash. Make them have to cover the whole field. On defense don’t give Tua and his recievers time . Blitz two or more guys frequently and at least one every play. Swap the angle of attack with DD up the middle and Peters and smoke from outside. Go for block punts and FGs . Go for 4 th down anywhere on their side of the field. Doesn’t mater the score never slow down. Play it like it’s your championship game and coming in second doesn’t mater. Beat them turds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmartin3228 117 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Will hang in there for a half I think, Or atleast until our offense staff has to go away from script after first 3 drives. Hoping for a win but the realist in me says just like UGA game expect 2 half will be a little worse . Sunshine pumped : Bama plays bad, we force some turnovers and win it with last second field goal giving Carlson his confidence back from missing some long ones this season. (Not his fault, GUS put to much on him as freshman kicker) hahaha I tried telling myself I wasn’t going to care about UGA game but as always ended up cussing the TV and feeling like expecting to win .
