Whew- listening to harsin postgame radio.... he is ill. In the most constructive way but he is ill. Would not want to cross that guy

And all of those were under a coach who had his players in place. This is Harsin and Co’s first game. If you expected that the coaching change was going to miraculously make us top ten and beating top ten teams then youre an idiot.

Man some of yall are nuts. Put the drink down. Grab a bottle of water and a cup of coffee. Im as oissed as anyone else. But we all know- had Gus been the coach we wouldve been BLOWN out. That D wouldve feasted on Bo like UGA did. Theres some disappointing play calls, defensive strategies, sure But we are way further along than we were under gus... by the way MSU lost to memphis today. Arkansas is one dimensional (but pretty good in that dimension). Texas a&m is all D, they have zero offense. Lsu is beatable and might fire their coach soon. SCAR is still scar, and ole miss doesnt have a defense. If we improve (and this was game 1 for us) we should beat all of those teams.

Frustrating bc we were so close. But stepping back we did better than I expected. I wasnt sure we’d have a chance to win it as much as we did but i thought it would be a close game. Offensively- weve got to find some play makers. I actually thought the formation with tank and hunter was our best chance. Defensively- weve got to play man early then use zone in situations or if we’re just getting torched somewhere. I get why we started in zone but im not sure why it took so long to switch

Get OUT OF ZONE. PLAY MAN!!

Zone defense is new for our guys. Need to switch to man

I thought they were in zone a lot against Wisconsin. May have had someone singled out that game but looking at overall stats the YPC looks like a lot of soft underneath passes were made which is what I recall.

First 3 plays for Auburn should be: Jet sweep, PA Pass, Hb zone-Tank

Appreciate the level headed response: from my perspective- Wisconsin won that game in every way except the scoreboard. They out rushed yall and kept your rushing attack to just 50 yards. TOP was like 3:1. That said Auburns OL wont be as good as Wisky’s but our defense should be better. Should be an interesting game.

Buuuuuttt we coulda gone twice per game... kept them on their toes

Pft Tommy trot says hello on a seam down the middle for 20 yds once per game

I thought the same thing. It will come down to who executes and who stops perimeter passes and rb screens. Both teams have shown a deficiency is guarding swing passes and outside plays. Only positive i look for in the run game is with a zine blocking scheme you let the rb pick the hole. Gonna need all three phases

Im not overly one way or the other. He didnt move his feet though he just stiff-legged and hopped back. Yes pass block allows you to move backwards but a good pass block is controlled and the OL shift the rush outside as a tackle. Either way- room for improvement, excited ab the game

535 mark is what i was talking about. Just gets pushed straight back

Hahaha true he was giving effort- didnt see him lose his man either so he won the battle

Saw LT get WORKED into the backfield a couple of times. Fighting for his life

All the pessimism here... chill. We gotta stop this “if coach doesnt land this guy” or “coach needs to land this guy”. Im not saying be a sunshine pumper but you gotta find the positives. not to opine- my dad always told me- youve got two choices- sit in the corner and cry about it or get up and do something about it. ftr- i think we get him. And if we dont i think we find another wr. Aint worried ab it.

63-3

I posted this in the game thread but ill post it here again- i was impressed with the cleanliness. All we heard from scrimmages was- we dont know who the OL is gonna be, wrs cant catch, Bo is throwing picks, miscues on offense cause turnovers. All of those mental errors- NONE of it showed up in the game. Thats whats impressive. Its impressive that game one of a season and game one for a new coaching staff you dont have those mental errors. Texas a&m made mistakes, ms state made mistakes, lsu made mistakes, those are seasoned coaching staffs who’s teams didnt show up and dominate the way theyre supposed to. It doesnt mean we’re gonna beat them, but it does mean our players have bought in and are well- prepared. Thats big.

Its not just being ready in game 1. Its being ready in game one with an ENTIRELY new staff. Few penalties, few false starts. Think ab this- how many missed routes have we seen? We were all worried ab that. Youd think this was the 2nd or 3rd yesr in this offense by the cleanliness of the play.

Cant be there today, but i will be grilling burgers and watching on the back porch. Love that atmosphere, pregame, tailgates, watchin all the other teams play before you head into the stadium. Got to get down there next week now.

Lets go!!!! Looking to start the season 1-0. War Eagle!

Yep one more thing auburn is inept at. If only they could be like alabama, clemson, or ohio state and play powerhouses like Mercer, SC State, and.... Akron, respectively

Every other P5 is playing a school like Akron. It just so happens Akron is extra terrible this year.
