Auburn’s Ronney Daniels is a former wide-receiver who played for the Tigers during the 1999 and 2000 seasons. He initially signed with Florida State in 1996, coming out of high school as a highly touted recruit. He elected to play professional baseball, putting his collegiate status on hold before resigning with the Auburn Tigers in 1999. During preseason camp, Auburn coaches were concerned about his consistency as he suffered through numerous dropped passes during practice. Once the season began, Ronney Daniels delivered an all-star performance, becoming Auburn’s second only receiver to produce over 1000-yards during a season. Ronney Daniels earned All-SEC Freshman honors during the 1999 campaign along with Freshman of the Year in the conference. He hauled in 56 receptions for 1068-yards and nine touchdowns. Daniels was projected to be an All-SEC performer in 2000 but was plagued with injuries that limited his production. Daniels caught only 34 passes during his final season at Auburn, deciding to take a chance on the NFL. He is one of the most physical wide receivers to play for the Auburn Tigers and will always be remembered for his big-play ability. Gus Malzahn was in his second year as offensive coordinator at Auburn when Daniels commented on how exciting the offense was primarily because the system was designed to allow players to make big plays. Averaging only 4.4 touches per game at Auburn, there is no telling the numbers he might have compiled had it been 7-8 touches per game. He once stated that it took a specific attitude to play wide receiver at a successful level. It was an attitude of attacking the football and taking advantage of your opportunities when they swung your way.

Thanks to all who managed to stay on topic and the follow up discussion. Hope the remainder of the season goes well for everyone. War Eagle!

Mississippi State offered Cam Newton money to sign with them and the NCAA conducted a 13 month investigation at Auburn and found squat on Cam. If Auburn was to recruit in the same manner as Alabama and UGA, how long would it take for the sanctions to roll in? Ole Miss and Missouri say hello.

You are spot on.

The problem was never targeting top notch talent. The plan was failing to expand offers to plan B prospects in the event the top notch recruits signed elsewhere. That issue is now addressed but the damage was already done.

OL recruiting the last 4/5 years was neglected and Auburn is paying the price last and this season. The hangover will carry over to 2020. Changes were made last year regarding how recruits were offered to address the issue. Gus must weather the storm until the changes made began to profit on the field.

So... how do you feel about the first bye-week of 2019? What kind of adjustments would you like to see? What adjustments do you expect?

I totally agree. The Florida loss feels like the last two losses to LSU.

You can chose to believe what has been publicly stated about the QB competition but logic might prevail in this case. Do you believe Malzahn would publicly state that Gatewood struggled during the competition and Nix was simply better beyond any doubt? Ask yourself this question. Malzahn coached one of the greatest college QB’s ever that made him a super star as an OC and led him to a National Title and Heisman. Cam’s abilities made his job easier and made most plays called golden. If Gatewood was half the QB Cam was, do you really believe he would not start him? Look at how many project QB’s Auburn has signed trying to find the next Nick Marshall or Cam Newton. Let’s not forget that Gatewood was not even a full time starter in HS. He may very well end up being the starter down the road but those wanting to see him play now, are doing so in hope that he will be the answer or magical. This includes myself but primarily because I want to see how he looks under the bright lights. As for D.J. Williams, you just might be right but he has been slowed by injuries. The coaches are high on him and I’ve been told he will get a long look in the Arkansas game. As for knowing he is the best based on a few carries in mop up duty against reserves... I personally would need to see him the majority of a season before crowning him. 2 cents

Yep.... just like HS QB’s, college QB’s and NFL QB’s. See it in the NFL every week and how interceptions are the result of the QB staring down his receiver. Tom Brady is guilty of it on occasion. Does Nix need to improve on limiting it? Of course he does but it won’t be the last time he does it. It’s not like it just happens at Auburn.

That was bad indeed. We had to make those plays to take down the turds that year. I think it was the series before all the rub-routes.

I seriously doubt Malzahn is reading my content, so no I don't expect anything. I do look back to the Mississippi State game, where he did place focus on the intermediate routes and the offense was very successful in doing so. With that being said, Nix had a much cleaner pocket to work from. He was also very successful with the intermediate routes during 2009 and 2010.

Which is why I noted that "Year Seven" is a whole different discussion.

Yes we are running the ball better against Power-5 teams than last season. Last year through the first 4 Power-5 games, Auburn averaged 114.5 yards rushing on 3.3 yards per attempt. This season it is 185.0 yards on 4.5 yards per carry. Not saying Auburn has arrived but it is indeed improvement. Easy to see why Auburn has not reached it's sealing because it has only been three games that Nix had Schwartz and Williams available. Nix and Schwartz had limited time to develop chemistry because Schwartz was not available in the spring and he injured his finger before the season began. Unless there are key injuries, I would wager the offense performs better than the 2018 offense to close out the regular season. It might not result in victories over LSU, Georgia and Alabama but it will still be improvement.

It's not about happiness but reality for 2019. Did you believe this team was going to win 10+ games this season facing this schedule?

I intend on making two highlight videos of the 2019 season. It will be broken down into two parts. Part I will cover Games 1-6 and Part II will highlight games 7-12. This is the intro to Part I... https://youtu.be/NX0hCwBHfxw

Gus Malzahn has been a part of the Auburn offense for ten seasons now, and we have witnessed enough games to know his strengths and weaknesses. His offense has always been one to run to set up the pass. There are 123 games in the Auburn record books, documenting the productivity of Malzahn’s offense. As much as we want his offense to evolve or to become more exotic when it comes to the passing game, Malzahn will always be Malzahn. If the running game is clicking, Auburn is almost certain to win, and when it struggles, a loss is likely to happen. Of the ten seasons, there have been four when Auburn produced more impact plays running the football than passing. It includes this season with 17 impact plays on the ground and 11 through the air. These four teams combined for a record of 37-7. The remaining six teams that produced more impact plays, throwing the football, combined for a record of 49-30. The bottom line is winning and winning football on offense usually is the result of making the most of the available talent. If we’re honest about Auburn’s best skill players, it screams for Auburn to be a run-heavy offense. Auburn’s two quarterbacks can make plays with their feet, and Jatarvious Whitlow currently leads the team with six impact plays. Auburn’s Anthony Schwartz and Eli Stove give Auburn two more playmakers in the running game. I still believe Shaun Shivers will be a significant component in the offense if provided the touches. If D.J. Williams can return healthy, he will give Auburn another solid downhill runner. Auburn is 68-12 from 2009-2019 with over 200 yards rushing and 26-3 with at least 140 yards rushing combined with a Kevin Steele defense. Auburn is playing with two freshman quarterbacks, and the starter is a true freshman. At least for now, Auburn needs to lean on their running game and defense until Nix matures on the field. This is an offense that could transition into a similar version of 2014 with the added ability of RPO plays. Bo Nix will never be the caliber of runner as Nick Marshall, but he certainly can make first downs and score inside the red zone, running with the football. Add Joey Gatewood to the mix as the wildcat quarterback and Auburn has some of the inside power element from 2010. Like Nix, the more reps Gatewood takes, the more plays that can be added to his menu as the season progresses. If this is the direction Malzahn is taking the offense, then it is one step closer to finally having an offensive identity in 2019. Is this the perfect offensive solution? Perhaps not but it is ideal for a Gus Malzahn offense and the personnel currently available. War Eagle!

Game #3 Statistical Evaluation (Kent State Game) Auburn was able to impose their will on an out-manned Kent State defense, cruising to a 55-16 victory over the Golden Flashes. The Tigers ran the football early and late to make up for a defense that struggled against an average offense at best. The Tigers had three 100-yard rushers on the night, something Auburn hasn’t accomplished since the 1983 Maryland game. Auburn smashed the Kent State defense with 467 yards rushing and six touchdowns on the ground. The pass offense was efficient but had two dropped passes, and Nix missed out on two possible touchdown passes. Those four pass plays would have bolstered the Auburn passing totals had they been completed. The Tigers totaled 15 impact plays, accounting for 354 yards. Of the 15 impact plays, 13 came on the ground, and six of those runs came from the quarterback position. As well as Auburn was able to run the football, it was disappointing Nix was sacked two times. The Auburn defense played its worst game of the season, considering the level of competition. Kent State came into the game, ranked 100th in third-down offense but converted 50 percent against the defense. Auburn did total 11 tackles for loss but gave up eight impact plays with six coming during the first half. Auburn allowed 197 yards during the first half and 124 during the second half, but the slight improvement came after their starting quarterback left the game. Auburn was able to empty the bench which was the high note of the night on defense. Jeremiah Dinson led Auburn in tackles for the third straight game. The good news was that Auburn was able to pressure the Kent State quarterback despite Derrick Brown missing the majority of the game. Tyrone Truesdell continues to play well, which is significant as long as Brown’s injury is limited. Kevin Steele’s defenses have been solid at Auburn but have lacked consistency, something that surfaced once again. Overall, the victory was a good one for Auburn but how much was learned from the 39-point win? Auburn was able to impose their physical dominance over an inferior team, something we have witnessed plenty of times under Gus Malzahn. Joey Gatewood saw plenty of action but was regulated to operating a power-running game against an out-manned defense. In the end, he attempted only one pass and it should no surprise he was able to dash for over 100-yards against Kent State. Auburn attempted only 17 passes, and nine of those were directed to Eli Stove and Will Hastings. Auburn did target Jay Jay Wilson but failed in establishing another wide receiver outside of Williams, Schwartz, Stove, and Hastings. The preseason portion of the schedule is now completed as Auburn heads into conference play next Saturday. From my view, it is difficult to say whether or not the offense is in better shape than they were coming into the Oregon game.

The defense bailed out the Auburn offense, holding Tulane to just six points on the night. It was one of the worst offensive performances against a team outside the Power-5 during the Gus Malzahn era. Auburn’s inability to run the football during the first-half, placed the offense on the shoulders of Bo Nix. Auburn attempted 29 passes to just 13 rush attempts, gaining only 7 first downs. The offense went “3 & out” four times during the first half, opting to run out the half with an opportunity to make a deep throw towards the Tulane end zone. The offense lacked rhythm, and Gus Malzahn returned to mass substitution in an attempt to execute the perfect play. There were moments in the game Bo Nix, and his receivers were not on the same page, with Nix throwing to spaces on the field, where there was no receiver in sight. Two times during the second-half, a wide-open Auburn player was running down the middle of the field, and Nix threw into coverage near the sideline. In defense of Nix, it appeared both plays might have been a one-route option. The defense was stellar for the most part but failed to register a single sack. Auburn had only 5 tackles for loss, and 4 quarterback hurries. The Tigers did not allow a play of more than 24 yards and only two plays of 20+ yards. After allowing 48 yards of offense on Tulane’s first offensive possession, the Green Wave gained an average of 14.6 yards during their following 12 possessions. It appears moving Kevin Steele to the sideline was a smart decision, allowing him to make adjustments in the first quarter rather than at halftime. The defense missed out on 5-6 tackles for loss because of poor tackling or poor angles of attack. For the most part, the defense did an exceptional job of boxing in Tulane’s option running game that netted over 350 yards rushing during their season opener. For the second week in a row, Jeremiah Dinson led Auburn in tackles and came up with a spectacular interception that ended a potential scoring drive. This no doubt was a strong Tulane team but this was not a SEC caliber team in terms of talent. The Green Wave roster consisted of only ONE 4-star player that was able to go toe to toe upfront for nearly one-half. The loss of Seth Williams could be a devastating blow, should he be out an extended period. Throwing a deep ball to Anthony Schwartz with a cast on his hand was a head-scratcher, and Auburn missed on an opportunity to establish a deep threat other than Schwartz. Will Hastings is a remarkable route runner who can excel within the intermediate routes and an occasional deep ball, but he is not a true “deep threat.” With Schwartz and Williams injured, I fear Auburn will struggle in finding their replacements. Auburn signing a grad-transfer at wide receiver should have been a major red flag. The Tulane game was also an opportunity to play D.J. Williams at running back, and it did not happen. With Whitlow’s continued fumbling issues, it would be in Auburn’s best interest to involve D.J. Williams in the running game against Kent State.

Upon Further Review Finishing strong on defense once again. Oregon converted a combined 4 of 8 on third downs during the first and third quarters and was 0 of 6 during the second and fourth periods. Auburn’s average distance to convert on third down was 6.9 yards and Oregon’s average was 6.4 yards. One of the keys for success during Auburn’s victory was the eight impact plays generated by the Auburn offense. Oregon totaled only four such plays. Of Auburn’s 75 offensive snaps, 36.0 percent went for at least five yards. The Ducks generated 37.1 percent of their 70 snaps on offense for at least 5 yards. During their first three possessions, 43.5 percent of their plays went for 5-yards or better, which dropped to 34.0 percent during their final eleven possessions. Oregon averaged 7.65 yards per play during their first three possessions and only 3.10 yards during their final 11 possessions. One of the keys to running tempo on offense is the success rate on first down. Of Auburn’s 32 first down snaps, 56.3 percent went for 3-yards or less, something Auburn must improve on moving forward. Bo Nix targeted 10 different players in the passing game against the Oregon Ducks. Nix was 13 of 32 against the Ducks but 8 of 11 on first down for 116 yards and 2 touchdowns. Auburn did throw 34.4 percent on first down. He was 1 of 8 on third down, something he needs to improve. JaTarvious Whitlow, Kam Martin and Shaun Shivers combined for 32 rush attempts. They were held to 3-yards or less 19 times (59.3 percent). Oregon averaged 3.85 yards per rush during the first half and only 1.00 during the second half. Auburn converted 7 of 8 situations of 2-yards or less to convert, running the football against the Oregon Ducks. Difference in the game? Auburn’s defense bailed out the Tiger offense by forcing Oregon to punt after Auburn turned the ball over two times. The defense also prevented Oregon from going up 21-3 by forcing a fumble, which set up an Auburn field goal. Trailing 14-6 was much better than trailing 21-3. Auburn is now 34-2 under Gus Malzahn when the Tigers average at least one yard more per play on first down than their opponent. Auburn is now 38-6 under Gus Malzahn when his pass offense averages at least 7.5 yards per pass-attempt on first down. Gus Malzahn’s statistical goal on third down is to convert at least 40 percent. Auburn exceeded that goal against the Ducks and Auburn is 43-9 under Malzahn when reaching the goal. From 2014-2016, Auburn recovered only 25.4 percent of their opponent’s fumbles. From 2017-2019, that percentage has increased to 51.2 percent. One indicator of consistency on defense is the number of “droughts” the Auburn defense can generate. The goal is holding the opponent to a scoring percentage of less than 33 percent. Against Oregon, Auburn forced two droughts during the game. Oregon went four consecutive possessions without a score and after scoring, went six additional possessions without scoring to close out the game. Auburn is now 45-5 under Gus Malzahn when the Tigers account for at least 55 percent of the combined rushing totals of both teams. Despite losing the “tackle for loss” and turnover battle to Oregon, Auburn was victorious. The Tigers are now 4-9 under Malzahn when that happens. War Eagle!

Auburn under Gus Malzahn as head coach was 2-13 in games they trailed by at least 6 points at halftime, coming into the Oregon Game. It included a 0-8 record when trailing by more than 7 points at halftime. So when Auburn trailed 14-6 , it was almost certain the Tigers were destined to lose their season opener against the No.11 Ducks. An Auburn defense that was expected to be dominating, looked overrated during the first period as Oregon gained 176-yards and scored 14 points. After the first three possessions, the Tigers settled in on defense, allowing just 14.2 yards per possession during the final eleven possessions defended. The Auburn offense sputtered during the first half, scoring only six points and turning the ball over two times. The Tigers hung around on defense until the offense found it’s footing during the second-half, gaining 227 yards and scoring 21 points during the second-half.With so many teams struggling during their season openers against lesser competition, Auburn’s come from behind victory on the road against a solid Oregon team was a good start to the season. There were plenty of mistakes made by the players and coaches but it is always good to learn from your mistakes and still capture a victory. The manner in which Auburn won the game might be a blessing in disguise, as the Auburn coaches should find it easier to keep the team motivated to work hard. Jeremiah Dinson was a beast on defense, limiting Oregon’s yards after receptions, while totaling 13 stops on the night. JaTarvious Whitlow delivered during the second-half, finishing the game with 110 yards on 24 carries. Except for one big pass play allowed, Auburn’s plan of keeping everything in front of them was extremely successful. Take away the two 30+ yard plays allowed and the Auburn defense allowed 248 yards on Oregon’s remaining 68 snaps. Take away the 47-yard pass in the first period, Oregon gained only 195 yards on their remaining 27 completions.There is plenty of room for improvement moving forward. Auburn could lose four games during the remaining regular season based on their overall performance against the Ducks. Bo Nix pressed at times but the good news is that the game never appeared to be too big for the true freshman. When given the opportunity, he was very effective in the running game, something Auburn needs to do more often down the road. He will never be as productive as a Nick Marshall but he proved he could extend drives with his feet. Some will focus on the negatives but Auburn’s comeback after trailing by 15 points was a good sign of leadership and effort to fight through adversity. Auburn fought to overcome their early mistakes and came away with a victory on the road against a quality opponent. Very few Auburn teams under Malzahn have been able to do the same. Auburn has two games to become a better team before moving into conference play. ================================== Game #1 Statistical Evaluation (Oregon Game) Offensive Report Card 01) Avg 6-yards per play on 1st down: [6.37] pass 02) Convert at least 40% of 3rd downs: [41.2%] pass 03) Avg at least 4.5 yards per rush: [4.79] pass 04) Score on at least 1/3 of possessions: [35.7%] pass 05) Keep 3 and out series under 33%: [35.7%] fail 06) Average 8.0 yards per pass attempt: [5.53 yds] fail 07) Score at least 75% inside red zone: [80.0%] pass 08) TD red zone above 60%: [40.0%] fail 09) Avg at least 30-yards per possession: [27.3 yds] fail 10) 40% of offensive snaps part of scoring drives: [41.3%] pass 11) TD / Turnover ratio above 1.6: [3 / 2] fail 12) TD ratio of at least 1 every 17 snaps: [25.0] fail 13) At least 8 impact plays: (8) pass 14) At least 2 big plays: (3) pass 15) Pass rating of at least 126.3: [95.2] fail 16) Yards to Point Ratio of 17.0 or under: [14.2] pass Score: 9 of 16 (56.2%) PASS Defensive Report Card: 01) Avg under 6-yards per play on 1st down: [3.75] pass 02) Convert below 35% of 3rd downs: [28.6%] pass 03) Avg at least 4.0 yards per rush or less: [2.73] pass 04) Score 1/3 of possessions or below: [21.4%] pass 05) Keep 3 and out series above 33%: [35.7%] pass 06) Average below 7.5 yards per pass attempt: [6.54 yds] pass 07) Score below 75% inside red zone: [60.0%] pass 08) TD red zone below 60%: [60.0%] fail 09) Avg under 30-yards per possession: [23.7 yds] pass 10) 40% or less of offensive snaps part of scoring drives: [32.8%] pass 11) TD / Turnover ratio below 1.6: [3 / 1] fail 12) TD ratio of at least 1 every 30 snaps: [23.3] fail 13) Less than 8 impact plays: (4) pass 14) No more than 2 big plays allowed: (2) pass 15) Pass rating below 125.0: [139.5] fail 16) Yards to point ratio of 17.0 or higher: [15.8] fail Score: 12 of 16 (75 %) PASS Special Teams Report Card: 1) Punt Average (Above 41.3): [45.0] pass 2) Punt Return Defense (Below 7.8 YPR): [43.7] fail 3) Punt Return Offense (Above 9.8 YPR): [12.8] pass 4) Kick-Return Defense (Below 21.2 YPR): [28.5] fail 5) Kick-Return Offense (Above 22.3 YPR): [20.0] fail 6) PAT’s (100%): [3/3] pass 7) FG Pct (75% or above): [66.7] fail Score: 3 of 7 (42.8%) FAIL * 50% is a passing score.
