    Just rewatched it multiple times and I hope that’s not a play we plan on using bc that was the only pass option

    Thats what i saw too. Looked like there wasnt but one option to that side and it was a called boot/sprint-out. I dont see a TE release, 23 stays in to protect.

    O-line was subbed frequently, tank held out, trox held out, shed held out. Jarquez did not play much. Vanilla O vs a stacked D. Not saying the pick doesnt indicate anything, but there was a lot more going on than what meets the headlines. 
     

    last, when you get into the schedule you prep the offense for the D youre gonna face. When you scrimmage, a lot of the time youre having your Offense work on specific things not necessarily trying to “own” the defense

    SIAP but harsin discussed his grading system this year and how it mimics how NFL teams grade their players. Theyre only graded during 7v7 and scrimmages (obv coaches are constantly judging the players). Most of the media window has been for warmups and vs air. I do think Finley is the starter, I also think Harsin is pushing Finley/Ashford/Calzada all the way to the end. Calzada has consistently been with the 3s during media viewing. 
     

    All that said- I think Finley is named starter, but Calzada is going to get a chance to run the offense (so will ashford)

    ashford has shown a lot of athleticism, but hasnt shown great accuracy. We all know from Nick Marshall that you just have to hit a few to be successful with that.

    I have a hard time believing that Calzada is the reason they haven’t announced TJ. What are they going to hand it to Calzada or Gernier because they had a good practice, when TJ has been firmly in the lead all fall camp. I bet they are just not announcing because it’s a distraction.

    I dont think they give it to him, but I think Calzada gave them a reason to hold off on announcing it. Finley will start vs Mercer and likely SJSU and maybe even PSU, but if calzada keeps having good days he’ll be waiting for an opportunity should the Offense stall

    Agree with all of the above. I dont think “just watch” is harsins preferred recruiting pitch but its where hes at due to the offseason and negative recruiting. Really like Harsins approach, i think hes the right guy long-term.

    Ashford wadnt good on Tues. inaccurate and lacked touch. 
     

    Calzada and Tj both looked good

    Brahms is touch and go so youll likely see Tate Johnson or Council there (Tate Johnson is my pick for starter with Council as a backup and him starting guard)

    Best part about tate is he has another year so if he does start that just helps for ‘24

    They need to hit the portal hard.  It’s not just the HS recruits.  

    Yep. This is huge and will get overlooked in rankings and therefore by a lot of fans. If we’re able to add some OL  in the portal we will be dangerous.

    On recruiting- im not sure what yalls expectations were. Everyone knew going into 2022 that we werent gonna have a top 10 class. Yes relationships matter, who would you trust more: someone youve watched and spoken to for 2+ years or someone you just met 10 months ago. Also, by all accounts Harsin and crew have done a great job putting ourselves in position to win some recruiting battles in ‘22. Our class could potentially end up with:

    Woodyard (LB), Ausberry (DB), Rhym (DB), Williams (RB), Williams (WR), Farmer (OL). Longest shot it antonio williams at WR

    Going into this season many of us loved what Harsin was preaching about toughness, attention to detail, winning mentality. There were obviously questions about whether Harsin could deliver on those things as a coach and more importantly whether those things would garner tangible results. 
     

    I wanted to post this for perspective on our team and coaches. Where we started and what we know now. 
     

    1) Can Harsin develop players- most importantly QBs and OL?

    The answer here is yes. Auburns OL improved throughout the season and in fact Harsin was able to build the future their with a rotation. Bo Nix also improved- his mechanics, mentality, every aspect of his game seemingly improved. Were there regressions at both of these positions at times yes thats completely fair but overall both groups improved as the season went on. 
     

    2) Can Harsin handle an SEC schedule, a full year of big games against the best talent and some of the best coaches? 
     

    Yes and No. Tonight Harsin and co went toe to toe with Saban with a severely undertalented team. Even with Bo, Anders, and Pappoe this is one of the largest talent gaps auburn has had against alabama in a long time. And Harsin held them scoreless for 3 quarters and 10 through four. Can Harsin sustain this success- is he ready for SEC- not with this roster. We need more players to consistently compete. ANY coach- Gus, Freeze, Kiffin, Cristobal wouldve run into some of the same issue that faced Harsin in that regard. Talent has to step up. 
     

    3) Can Harsin recruit at an elite level?

     

    this is TBD, but my prediction is yes. Harsin will continue to build relationships and this roster and continue to improve upon his record and building  this program the right way. 
     

    War Eagle!
