aucanucktiger 1,791 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Six teams on our schedule FINISHED in the top 10. We started and ended the regular season by beating a team that finished in the top 10. We lost to the national champion final by 3, #4 & #10 by a TD and #6 by 11 (notwithstanding Derrick tripping on a blade of grass). I don't rant about refs but man oh man if they just called HALF the holding of Davidson & Brown by UF, UGa and/or (especially) LSU... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that missed holding calls on LSU's offensive line didn't prevent that. Auburn fans are heavy with the moral victories today because of how our defense played against LSU. I'm just that much more frustrated that our self-appointed play caller turned a playoff-caliber team into a 4-loss team. Again. If this was intended to be a Kevin Steele & Co. appreciation thread and I missed it, my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean Auburn gets a participation trophy for our case? I know it was a difficult schedule but we still didn't win anything. Great teams beat other great teams. Otherwise your just a good team. We're paying for greatness and we're getting "but we were so close". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the optimistic perspective, but the flip side is UF, UGA, and Minnesota would not have finished in the top 10 if we had handled our business. A good but frustrating season.

StPeteTiger 24 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 As much talk as there is about non-CFP bowl games not mattering, I somehow felt better about an 8-win season after drubbing Purdue in the Music City Bowl last year. Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Too bad our offense is offensive. We finished as high as we did despite our offense. If our offense had a pulse we likely go undefeated or 11-1... Gus and Chad better get some stuff figured out. They wont have 3 and 5 on defense to bail them out in 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerFanAU 586 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Our offense was lethargic. Boring and awful to watch. LSU brought in Joe Brady and won a national championship. Please can we get rid of Gus, I'm tired of watching his boring and outdated offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,052 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Where was Auburn ranked preseason? I feel like it was right around 14. Next year will be interesting with a returning Qb, loaded backfield, Wrs, and LBs but retooled lines and losses in the defensive backfield. If I had to guess it’ll be around 14.

Is being #14 really your definition of "victory"? Based on our staff payroll, the amount of money we invest in football, and our recruiting rankings over the last decade, #14 is underachieving.

A top 20 finish when we're paying for top 10 finishes and recruit in the top 10 is not something to hang your hat on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenlee36 1,654 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 That’s what happens when you beat a Bama team that’s missing there starting quarterback and is starting several freshman on defense. Just wait till we are the best 7 loss team next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
