We give cushion and wonder why those slants happen. Smh

I'm not a coach, but why doesn't Mason make adjustments before half-time?

Typical first half defense here.

[ValleyTiger 2,894]

Going into the game, advanced stats pointed to us needing to be successful against them on 1st downs both defensively and offensively. 

Need to tighten up.

Back to no pressure.

I'm hoping this bendy defense holds on!

It won't.

The $20,000 question. Who freakin knows, but it sure is aggravating.

[AuCivilEng1 10,995]

Everyone whines about the defense every game. And then they adjust and it’s fine. Let’s just let the 1st half play out.

Better hope Bobo can find a way to keep us in it until half because Mason never adjusts until then

[NoALtiger 3,849]

And there’s our first bend but not break reference of the day. 

[W.E.D 11,070]

Let's see if we can hold to a FG here.

Eventually that will catch up to Auburn. U can’t rely on that every game. That works if u have a potent offense . Give up 3 but U score 7

Seems this defense is based on the offense making a mistake. It’s tough if the offense doesn’t make one.

That's been my worry all week. Their week off, and our defense in the first half.

Super early to judge, but we look a little deflated. Need some intensity. 

We haven’t looked any different than our other slow starts to me 

[Farmer Brown 2,391]

We need male yell leaders, in white uniforms. LOL

Great job guys!

This is probably that game. Jimbo knows what to do....unlike Lame Kiffen.

[Farmer Brown 2,391]

Looks like the QB got hit in the wrong place. 

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Good call there

[Eagle-1 3,821]

Intentional grounding??

[Auburn Tiger 1,340]

There’s the pressure. And literally kicked him in the nuts. Lol

[difball 310]

And there is the close 

Have a cup of coffee Mason

[boisnumber1 2,818]

Why was that not grounding?

[W.E.D 11,070]

Man I really hate our defensive scheme. But jeez we win out more times than not. Lol

That’s the one contextual thing I think has been left out with some of these bend don’t break performances. Like we essentially depended on Max Johnson to miss open receivers or for Lane Kiffin to make terrible red zone decisions in those 2nd halves. And I’m not disparaging the result. But I just wonder what happens when the other team executes on the available opportunities 

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Great pressure!!
