McFU 205 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 Just now, triangletiger said: I love the quote. I guess we'll see how it plays out... Yep, right now it is mostly coach speak aside from the changes in the Bowl game last year and naming a TF as your Starting QB. I don't expect us to be lights out at first because it takes a few games to find a rhythm but I hope as the season goes on that Gus is able to throw in wrinkles now and then that make the other team go back on their heels.

AUFriction 1,179 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 In my objective prediction, I had this as one of three losses for us. However, they will be missing their top 3 receivers and their TE is "limited" which of course probably means he will play almost no snaps against us. They won't be able to run the ball against our DL, and now they have no one to throw it to. I think we win this one soundly because I don't think they will be able to score against us much. That said, I still have questions about our offense, and this is the first game for Bo Nix. I expect him to make some errors, and I expect the offense to sputter at times against their D. We score 10 points in the 4th quarter to put it away. They get one TD off of a turnover, but don't sustain any long drives against us. 20-10 Good Guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanTiger 20,472 Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 I'm just not convinced that Oregon is going to pile up points against this defense, nor am I convinced that they have a defense we should be scared of. Some key defensive stats from last year for Oregon: Scoring D - 48th in the country, 25.4 points per game Pass D - 82nd, 241.6 yds per game Rush D - 43rd, 144.3 yds per game Total D - 55th, 385.9 yds per game Opponent 3rd down conversions - 46th, 37.1% converted Opponent plays of 20 yds or more - 82nd, 26 plays Opponent plays of 30 yds or more - 61st, 14 plays It might take a possession or two to get in the groove, but I think eventually we will.

Like I have mentioned in an earlier thread, Gus is still learning the ropes of being a head coach but I don't know of another coach that has had his success in such a short time of being a head coach. It sure isn't saban. and Gus doesn't have the help that saban has (REC). JMO WDE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Auburn has a track record of down years followed by good ones once key positions gain experience and/or depth. I feel like our OL should be better this year (they were trending better by the end of the year) and there is much better depth at RB as well. Add the fact that I think much of the problem last year was the strategic confusion of Gus and Chip that won't be there with Gus taking it back over, and I feel like it's far more likely that Auburn will be significantly better on offense than Oregon will finally field a decent defense.

Not defending Gus, but in case you haven't noticed lots of teams have incoming players take over existing spots. Don't let your disgust for Gus to throw these kids in front of a bus. No pun intended. Agree. I am not stating this is the case, but I disagree with the premise that because we are starting a TFr QB that it has anything to do with QB development. I would say more to do with recruiting and evals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any word regarding the O-line philosophy/scheme this year? In another post/thread, someone stated that Lindsey had a different blocking philosophy than the Tigers were running previously. "Zone" vs "Gap" (?) or something like that... AKA passive instead of aggressive was the bottom line, and that was a huge part of the problem IMO. Do we know if they've changed back, if that were the case? I know the O-line was never THAT much of a sore spot until last year. I get that perhaps the Jimmy's & Joe's may have been part of the problem but I still feel like the passive scheme was a huge problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be ... what do you use to indicate improvement by the end of the year? 3 of our last 5 games were TAMU, GA and AL ... Oline didn't take the field in those games; I think we rushed for less than 250 yards combined in those 3 games (19 yds against TAMU)...Liberty and the Bowl Game were the other two weren't they? I'll be at the game; but am not optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerFanAU 586 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I believe we'll own the trenches on both sides of the ball. Justin Herbert will get his yards between the 20's, but I think Oregon will have a hard time scoring. We should be able to over power them. 35-13 AU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
