He shows incredible composure and leadership, especially for a true freshman. But he still ended up 13 of 31 passing with 2 picks. That´s not all Bo´s fault but that has GOT to improve. Good OL's usually are good medicine for making that better. We don't have a very good OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abw0004 10,110 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Many need to take a step back and review the game itself. We struggled mightily in the first half as I suspected we might. That is what happens when it’s the first game and the opposing team has had 3 months to prepare for you. Remember Clemson 2016? The second half we settled down and took care of business. Gus Malzahn just won with full confidence in a true freshmen QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably perked up because we finally scored a td Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can't be a serious take. The 18-year-old-first-true-freshman-since-1946 QB just engineered one of the best game winning drives in Auburn history and you want to spout 13-31? The kid is a phenom. Shut up and enjoy watching him for 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, it looks like you are right. A lot of room for improvement on our OL. Gus is used to running the ball no matter what and he is going to have to come up with plans that account for the fact that we are not always going to be able to do that.

But the flip of this is that we've had three months to prep for Oregon, too. What many fans miss, which may hopefully return, is being the team that puts the other team on the run for the duration of the game. The dread factor. It's been awhile. Tonight went our way. Feels good. Need more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coastal Tiger 84 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Have we fired Gus yet? It’d be ashamed if he’s allowed to coach another Auburn football game. Great guy, but a damn clown of a football coach. He should quit chewing gum as it obviously involves too much mental capacity to make a good play call or go for 2 there at the end of the game.

bigbird 60,493 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Oregon had 176 yards and 14 pts in the first qtr and 156 yards and 7 pts the other 3 qtrs. Oregon had 90 yards rushing at 2.7 ypc Thank you, defense and thank you, Steele for those adjustments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Gus was outright terrible but he deserves props for: not overthinking the situation and realizing that Joey is born to alleviate his historically bad RZ play calling allowing his passing QB to....pass....when it mattered most. Not playing for the FG especially. Good job by him to not throw the game away and let talent talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe they had a new DC which may have made the prep a little harder. Still thought they play calling was not good but this may have accounted for some of the struggles.
