Don't know why we need him,haven't used the tight end since CJ and Lutz.

It almost was,Gus said it was 3 or 4 games into the season before he knew what he had in Cam.

I think I saw an Auburn team not playing with fire and intensity that is required when playing an SEC team and maybe took vandy a little to lightly.The holding calls may have been a good thing to get us ready for all the bad calls we will get in Athens and turdville in the upcoming games.

If I remember right that team started slow and continued to get better as the season went on and then of course we beat the turds in the first ever Iron Bowl at AU.Maybe this team is like the 89 team.

Pettway is just an old fashion hard nosed football player.He was also a good fullback,he could probably play a lot of positions and play them well.Glad he is on our team.That run last night when he ran over the arky player reminded me of Ronnie Brown running over Jason Allen from UT in 2004.

Another great post JMR,Thanks.I agree with everything you said.One thing I saw that you left out was Gus being undefeated since ditching the visor.ha ha

I know we as Auburn fans would love to see the team win in a blowout,but we may need to give moo state a little credit for our woes in the 2nd half.They were being embarrassed on their own field and may have just dug a little deeper and played a little harder in the 2nd half.It's also hard for team to keep their edge and intensity with a big lead.

I say play him,the risk is worth the possible reward.You can't coach afraid someone might get hurt.Get your best players on the field.

Kerryon Johnson played like a man possessed after being thwarted on the 4th & 1 play during the first half. Yes he did,if they could get a little more good weight on KJ and him run like he did last night it would be great.

I guess Carl was unblockable by our o-line just not everyone else.

I wonder if they don't even watch game film or can they not remember Garrett from last season?How they could expect Golson to block him alone is very poor coaching, at least put a tight end or back to help on 3rd and long.

So maybe the answer is to fire Gus and hire Kendall and maybe he will keep the D staff.

I agree the offense needs to be built around SW he is the only QB that has shown any ability to throw the football,but it does not seem Gus knows how to coach anything other than a zone read offense.Which is ok but you have to be able to throw some in the SEC or the defenses will shut you down.Also if JF3 is going to play let him run the d*&n ball if he is going to hand the ball off every time you might as well keep SW in the game so you have the threat of a pass.I want Gus to succeed but he has to quit coaching like a high school coach.This ain't high school were the seniors get to play just because they are seniors, play your best players and get the offense going and quit trying to be so cute with the trick plays most of them turn into wasted plays.

Great addition to the site.

Why do you not want Auburn to score 62 on them?ha ha

I agree we don't seem to get many from that area.I'm so glad we have been getting the Madison Academy players the last few years also.Both these area's could pay off big in the future.More talent there than most think and the kids usually qualify.

DW did look much improved to me in the spring game and I agree T-Will is going to be a good coach and also a top recruiter.We may start getting some of these top LB'ers to come to AU.

I'm expecting big things from all the William's this year.

In your opinion will he be a better developer of QB 's than we have now?

Looks as if he usually follows a bad year with a good one.Lets hope that trend continues.

If there's any doubt as to what Gus thinks about the pocket passer vs dual threat debate, that 2016-2017-2018 QB commit list should answer it for good. Then 2013-2014-2015 should have answered it for good the other way. I think we'll use the guy that gives us the best chance to win. We'll certainly have some of each flavor to choose from. This bothers me about Gus,he doesn't seem to know what direction he wants to go,Maybe he has made up his mind now and is going duel threat.
