Maybe our run blocking doesn't get truly exposed until game 6 They’ll play like world beaters against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUatHeart 624 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Harsin has plenty of stuff to work on now. Wish they wouldn’t have gotten that last TD but I couldn’t ask for a better outcome today. WDE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,140 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) A solid first game there are things to fix but on the whole we played well. Mercer has some talented players just not enough of them. Starting O-Line was solid both run blocking and pass blocking but did miss some assignments especially in 1st quarter as game went on they got better which is what you want to see. Receivers got separation and QB's hit them. Finley was solid just made a couple of bad reads. Ashford looked good but I will need to see more of him before I can legitimately say we have a QB competition. Hopefully we play even better against San Jose and are hitting on all cylinders were Penn Sate shows up. Talent wise Penn State is at least our equal but I think homefield and if we play a clean game we can beat them. If the Penn State team's O-Line is as weak as they looked against Purdue we will beat them easily assuming we can generate Offense.

NWALA Tiger 3,535 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Did anyone else notice when Finley and Ashford were swapping in and out that all Ashford ran was zone read. Then when Ashford replaced Finley,the zone read disappeared. If Ashford is starter zone read will need to be part of the offense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I’d rather run more option stuff with Ashford to keep defenses honest instead of trying to run right at people. At least our pass blocking looked ok. Make no mistake. We will not be able to run right at people. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro Johnny Mac 1,393 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Not perfect but it’s a win. Ashford has potential to help us out in bigger games. TJ needs to clean up the TOs.I know it’s Mercer but I thought he looked a lot better than his last game. I think he will take a bigger jump next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And RBs will struggle getting around the edge against the faster defenses. I may be dead wrong, but looks like Tank needs the hole where he expects it to be, or else he's stopped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't cover because unlike the bama's and UGA's when we have 3rd string players on the field there is a big drop off. But we have solid two man depth at almost every position except O-line and LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift 350 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Team played better than I expected. I am pleased about that. Finley is still sus in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Zeek 16,649 Posted September 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2022 My fellow Auburn fans crack me up. We held them to just 2.4 yards per carry. The walk-ons and some self-inflicted wounds gave them points (they put 14 on the turds last year for reference). We had 285 rushing yards and a 7.0 average. Ashford went 4/7 and looked good when given a chance. JJohnson had a damn coming out party. Cam Riley is exactly what we need him to be. Stuff to work on but we looked a lot better than most teams this opening weekend. Personally I think Robby should be QB1 until he loses it. TJ throwing 2 INTs against this team is pretty inexcusable. We got a lot of young guys in the game. 9 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
