Clear improvement by the offensive line, which has been atrocious the last two years.

Bo has improved.  He is clearly making better decisions out there and not doing dumb things to get us beat.  And that's despite the fact that we do not have a WR corp that helps him out much at all.

We are physical.  A Gus team would have fallen apart after that turnover putting us down 21-10 right out of half.  These guys go out and ram the ball down their throats 12 out of 15 plays for a 75 yd TD drive.

I honestly don't know how anyone watches that game and thinks we look just like we have the last few years under beep boop.  This team is made of different stuff.  

Well no s***!!!! We ran the ball down their throats…. when it was to late. We ran trick plays that back fired and receivers were contested all night. Route tree was awful. Yes , some balls should have been caught but again they were not wide open throws . I can enjoy some alone time because what happened tonight was the last 8 years. I’ve watched all of them and been to all of them. 
 

The game could completely be pointed to 2 wasted timeouts that fall completely on the staffs shoulders. 
 

1- timeout with game clock running out on Penn St 

2- timeout when …. So what if we do not get it. We would have 2 to have time outs to score again. 
 

All for positivity but just throwing shade like this game was different than the last 8 years to  make yourself feel better is a losers mentality. I’ll enjoy  my alone time knowing I’m not going to point the finger at a former coach to make myself feel better about mediocrity.

I'm not claiming a moral victory.  I see improvement and reason for hope.  

Where ? 

You should be mad. Lost from game management, confused players which is a direct correlation to coaching.  Wasted timeouts , for wasted play calls. 💯 would have changed the game. Feed the running game vs trick plays, which is what I thought we were getting away from. STFU with your BS about Gus trying to find light. Definitely not a Gus guy but don’t throw shade when it’s the same s***. 
 

Players laid it on the line but not prepared. Did not make adjustments to TE, did not give DLINE help with blitz package. On top of that our Stellar coaches cannot coach a player to stay in a zone and keep eyes out of the backfield. 
 

Be real and quit with the fake ass same old mediocre loser bull****.  Over $11,000,000 will go to the guys putting Auburn players in a bad position. Over $11,000,000 will go to guys calling unnecessary timeouts to F it up more.

We apparently just offered Derrick Brown's little bro, a 3* MLB.

Just saw that myself . Lanier right up road from me . Have heard a lot about him but hasn’t really taken off in recruiting world . He won same defensive award his brother won back in the day . Either region defensive player of year or classification.(can’t remember) 

Wonder if this is a move to get Derrick to stick around another year. Or could be one of those diamonds in the rough. 

Got anything on this ? 

@ellitor or @WarDamnEagleWDE

Watch out for manny machado too Braves . He is listening for a 2 year deal playing shortstop . 

Well, give credit where it’s due . Think Gus and staff did a great job keeping this class together so far with season and negative publicity lately. Had a bad feeling about today , but pleasantly surprised!!

Because he's not ready to run the scheme. 

Its only about 4 plays with different dressing. Especially gone line, he would have perfect. Think he may have got hurt early on didn't want to waste for just goal line situations

Saw headline and was like "Damnit here we go still can't recruit a premier back," but I liked his film a lot. Has good vision, looks to be a one cut guy and tries to get up field with burst and balance staying compact. Like bird says, runs a little high and with better competition he ain't bouncing off and running through those guys like in this film. Aside from that his body control is good and looks fluid. Could be a nice diamond in the rough.

17 and no. TOSU has 17 also. Michigan, Oklahoma, & Bama had 19, 18, & 18 last year respectively. It's not even an AU record. We had 19 in 2015.

Sorry meant record for Auburn not those other schools.

AUsome , hope are coaching staff uses his to the best of his ability . 

Thats 18 4 stars , is that a new record of 4 stars ? Or are the handing out 4 stars a lot easier these days ?

Generally speaking very little velocity improvement will be made from 18 year old plus.  For baseball players you can expect 1 mph increase per year until about age 24.  I don’t have a lot of information for football velocity but would think getting stronger would help but deep throws aren’t about arm strength it’s about reading defenses and timing

Yeah , Baseball thats a big deal. Do not know how velo would translate to a football but My number one jumped 5 MPH junior to present and just signed with Mercer to play baseball.  They really liked him because he still projects to add a good bit more velo . A lot lot editor said is being able learn to use body well and gaining strength. I just didn't know if you knew if he projected to be able to gain some more because of flaws like lower half or if he was already using everything well and was pretty much topped off.

 arm strength comment is a projection or as of now? Still has  time to gain  more? Anyways thanks for that for the report

Boom so pumped !!!!! I know its tough cause you comparing high school to college on film. But is it just me or does he look a good bit more mobile then Stidham? Who has seen him play in person?

I missed the second half,.  Would enjoy seeing his highlights if anyone has them?

Don't have highlights , but had a TD throw with great touch and a TD Run second half . Passing got a little better second half besides a throw off his back foot that was intercepted but negated by a penalty.

Boys and girls we are getting a special special athlete in Gatewood . He is a man among boys playing against high school All Americans . Has some ugly passes but if he can do enough to hit open receivers and develop more as passer better watch out !!!!!!

Sure his has been talked about but can't find . When is Bo planning on commiting . Would be great to get him commited and have a guy like him recruiting for Auburn early . 

Big time !! Hope we can hold onto him!  He plays against really good talent overthere at Stephenson.  Even more impressive he's just a sophomore. 

Playing on ESPN U right now . Tough task playing Heritage . Runs tough , wins battles against bigger players , one step upfield guy . Adds some weight, he going to be very very good .
