AU64 10,122 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks...that kind of went over-looked after the rough first quarter and once the "negative Nancy's" got cranked up on this site. Little was made of the bad late game decision by Oregon to for it on fourth and a foot on their 40 which despite Herbstreit's urging, turned out to give AU the ball in very good field position. Perhaps the O coaches could see the handwriting on the wall, that AU's offense was gaining control and he did not want to give the ball up.....but the AU defense absolutely ate up the play.

dyehardfanAU 2,117 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 If they can play the run like they did for the rest of the season we'll be in a lot of ball-games. Basically shut them down on the ground outside of one long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWhiskey91 632 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 And Steele being on the sideline might’ve led to that adjustment coming as soon as it did! 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad5628AU 35 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Where in the world was TD Moultry? I was hoping he’d be the speed rush guy and don’t remember seeing him once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sizzle 3,912 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 The thing that was impressed by the most in that first game was The tackling. Those guys wrapped up, especially the DB’s. There was no extra yardage after the catch 😤 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnTiger4Life 2,225 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 While the D line was a little underwhelming for most of the game, I think it’s important to note that we probably won’t face a better o-line all season. They’re ranked #1 for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUinGA44 265 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 That group of linebackers is as athletic and good in space as Auburn has ever had. Britt looked like a DaShaun clone out there but faster Pappoe is going to be like Devin Bush was at Michigan. McClain and Wooten are good enough to start at 3/4 of the SEC schools. We need to enjoy what we are watching, those guys are really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amsterjam 107 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Shoutout to Tyrone Truesdell! He didn't get a lot of hype in the offseason but I thought he was the best Dlineman on the field last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

logan adams 333 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 They played well and responded. Concerns are with the special teams defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy 166 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Yes, Special Teams was very concerning. The moment that ridiculous 15-yard penalty was assessed after the go-ahead TD my first thought was they could very well have the ball on or around the AU 40 based on how our ST coverage had been. Hoping that is a serious point of emphasis these next few SEC tune-up games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMassie11 1,610 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Defense played extremely well. People overlook that Oregon has had months to script plays for the 1st quarter and executed a well put together game plan. Auburn’s game plan was good as well however didn’t execute. The difference in the game was how each team made adjustments. That and Bo just has that “it” factor that I haven’t seen since a guy down in the swamp.
