tingram 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I just noticed that in 4 games so far this season, we have scored 181 points. That may seem good, and compared to only 212 all of last season, its outstanding!!!! Can the defense offset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBigCat 17 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 We have scored a TD in every quarter this year except the 2nd qtr against La Tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1633 1,418 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I just went to auburntigers.com and was looking at stats from this season and comparing them to last. Anybody'd have to be an idiot not to think this team is good! The defensive statistics are pretty similar to last year's as much as people think our D is no good. The problem last year was offense and the improvement is night and day! We've already scored more points this season than we did in the first 9 games last season and almost as much as we did in the first 10 (181 to 192). No doubt this team is improved just cause the offense is HUGE this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbwareagle34 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Yeah when your Offense scores as quickly as ours, the D is going to give up a few more points than if we were grinding it out on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caleb1633 1,418 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Exactly. We don't hold the ball as long so the D is gonna be on the field more often than they were back when we were doing those 12 play 8 minute drives. Our longest drive this year is like 6 minutes maybe?

bigbird 60,368 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 One TD drive took 31 seconds, another took 33, another took 50. Then the Tiger offense got downright plodding and took 1:50 to score. - Paul Gattis http://www.al.com/auburnfootball/huntsvilletimes/index.ssf?/base/sports/1254043062138220.xml&coll=1 That would make any D tired, that's faster than four 3 & outs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperFlyEagle 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Can't compare defensive numbers from last year and this year. Last year's D was on the field the ENTIRE game and was a around the top 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUfanaticalfan 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Defense played from behind almost all last year. Different this year, playing mostly with a lead. As long as they keep getting turnovers , things will keep rolling.WDE :aufb: :aufb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingram 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Author Share Posted September 27, 2009 It surely is a good thing to see. The defense no doubt is improving. I think the first team is good enough to fight with anybody. The second string is just young and inexperienced. With being unranked and no respect still, great reason to shut up Kiffin Saturday.

AA 1 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 I will gladly trade giving up a few more points than we would like, if we keep scoring like we are. If we can keep the tempo up, we will wear down everybody, both physically and mentally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
