AUght2win 6,832 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Kent State! Yes, Kent State. Many of you may not realize, but that is where Woody Barrett landed after leaving Auburn. He started all of last season for the Golden Flashes, and accounted for nearly 3000 total yards and 18 TDs. He looked like a solid QB. This game could be a trap game because we travel to Texas A&M the following week. You know Woody will try to play the game of his life against us, too. I have posted some highlights from a game against Illinois. It'll be sort've surreal to see Auburn take on a QB that probably would be the starter if he had stayed.

AUwent 3,748 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 There is zero excuse for that to be a “trap game.” I thought WB was a project? 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedaler 1,001 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I only watched a few minutes but in that time I saw Woody throw two picks and get a penalty for celebrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 No offense to the OP but it is Woody and it is Kent state against an Illini team that almost lost to USF (yeah that USF team that was bad)...I don't think Woody would have started here and that clip shows why....good runner bad thrower...

Made a good decision to leave when he did and protected his eligibility and found a place where he can enjoy the game with playing time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,832 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share Posted January 1, 2019 For the record, not saying it'll be competitive. Purely interesting based on the storylines. Just from watching Woody's mechanics, he has come a long way too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every game should have traces of confident humility attached...players to coaches to fans. Our record proves this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, not saying it will happen because it's like predicting an earthquake, but if you think it is out of the realm of possibility that Auburn will be challenged by a weak OOC team, you must have just started following us this year.

cctiger 571 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Auburn looses to Kent State next year and Gus will be fired before he can get out of the stadium, if he can get out on his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being challenged and a game being considered a trap game is completely different meanings. I doubt we will be overlooking anybody next year as this team probably won’t even be top 15 next year and have a lot of question marks. I follow enough football to know the difference between the meaning of a “trap” game and a team who can possibly pose a challenge. And I am of the believe that this 2-10 Kent state team will pose neither, as I think this team will surprise a lot of folks. Also I follow enough Auburn football to know that for some odd reason when we aren’t expected to do much, we go on a tear. I would bet on that happening before Kent State challenging us for a whole 60 minutes of football. But then again, Clearly you know more about Auburn football than me.

DAG 33,974 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Also here is woody Barrett’s full stats so we can see what we are up against 58.7 QB completion rating 11 tds - 9 interceptions 2339 total passing yards. 539 yards total rushing yards/3.09 per average 7 total rushing TDS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Other than Kent 😁 I’d say Miss State, Arkansas, and Ole Miss have the possibility to be sneaky games. Miss State is sandwiched between away games at TaMu and Florida but is at home. Arkansas on the road after Florida and before LSU. Luckily Arkansas comes after a bye week. Ole Miss is at home but between LSU on the road and UGA at home. Bye week after Ole Miss hopefully will keep Auburn focused on that game and not looking ahead.
