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.

It was 26-21. If we go for two and make it, it's 28-21 and Oregon has to get a TD and xp to tie. If we go for two and fail, it remains 26-22 and all Oregon has to do is score a TD to win. Either way Oregon has to score a TD. By kicking the xp, we make Oregon have to try for the xp. That is another play that we could make something happen. Otherwise it's over after a TD.

Yeah I am growing tired of our vocal peewee coaches. #clueless

My man crush Anders didn't have to.

It is amazing that a good defense makes an offensive game plan look bad and a cupcake makes you look like a world beater. Plus you have a QB playing his first college game ever.  I would not doubt Oregon winning their conference and playing in the playoffs this year.

Oregon had 13 yards rushing in the 2nd half. 

Our young LB and DB stepped up huge

Have we increased Gus’ buyout yet?

[Auhud08 596]

Plain and simple: that was an awesome comeback. We played TERRIBLE for the first quarter and a half. Then we turned it around. Malzahn did not do a bad job calling plays, though he put us in some obvious passing situations now and again. It was also that run first mentality that wore down Oregon.

Lot to learn from but look around the college football landscape and there’s noone else who’s beaten a team as good as the one we just beat.

Would anyone here be supporting the decision to not go for 2 (when we had the chance) had they scored and made the xp to win?  You play to win, not play for a fricking prayer on a botched xp kick.

This is why I am always for games like this versus playing Georgia southern in the first game.

That's really not smart. Either way they need a TD to win. One needs an TD and XP for the win and one just needs the TD. I'd want the first option.
