AU's WR don't appear to be getting any separation from bama DB's (no surprise) especially on the sitdown routes. keep working the slants

I don’t him he had a terrible game from that perspective. Some of his key completions were undone because of penalties. 

re watching the game, the series around 12:00 mark in 3rd Qtr.  thorne is abysmal.  Freeze is visibly frustrated with his decisions.  WR's open all over the middle.  Checkdown Charlie has his mind made up to dump it off, though.

Didn't the STATistics tell us that Auburn's offense was getting better over the last 3 games?

No football smarts on this team. At all.

It will be totally on point for Freeze to blame the horrible offensive 2nd half on Miss State defense or the band or take your pick.

wait, you roll to the side with no blockers???

Derek Mason: "still plenty of time for anything to happen."   it is to laugh.

I find it hard to believe that the routes are so structured and rigid as to have the WR stop and turn short of the line to make on so many throws

wow. i'd say contain kinda broke down

Defense must be tired in the 1st Quarter. Again.

Overall, QB play is just "Meh". LSU/ MO may flare up but 

Just had to get cute. shades of the whirlybird

Bless your heart....

consider that UGA may have been an outlier? Cal game? ugh.   Samford? not pretty getting stuffed by their Dline several times. excuses galore.

Don't forget the Safety type blitzes as well.  Auburn correctly blocks them once in a blue moon. and executes one almost as often.  Scheme? Personnel? I saw what I think was a LB or S blitz by AU last week and on cue, he runs into the blocker/scrum instead of finding a weak point and attacking.

He dies a little every week we play offense. Can't blame him.

2 1/2 MINUTES into the game, after the first LSU score, the camera focused on him and I swear you could see the thought bubble over his head "Wonder what's going on in Lynchburg?"

Receivers making some 50-50 ball catches.

Receivers getting enough separation so as to avoid a lot of 50-50 situations.

amazing what you can do with even a marginally competent QB. under duress, even.

with the rules changes last 6-8 yrs, the middle third is ripe for the picking.  Gus failed to realize this. or was too stubborn to change. he even abandoned the sit down routes in the middle.

In theory, yes, you make valid points.  In real life, I think you overestimate the ability of most punters.  How many times does the situation call for a high and short-ish punt, but the punter drills it through the endzone ?

Scar still schemed a few open guys, even after the WR1 went out. Couldn’t run at all and pass blocking didn’t exist as the game progressed. I imagine that’s going to be the same for us, although I didn’t watch this UAB game where they were somewhat interesting I guess. 
 

Probably going to be a blitz on 75-80% plays bare minimum. It would be surprising, and VERY exciting, if Thorne can get the ball out of his hands at all on Saturday. That would be progress in itself 

and it's not like kirby disguises his blitzes. you usually can see them coming a mile away. kinda like last wee......oh. right.

21-13 a&m

I actually thought it was more towards the drill fields and where Magnolia and Donahue meet. May be wrong on the location, but it was very small.

In the early 70's I think it was on the corner where the ROTC bldg is now. Thatch and Donahue?? 

For my time in school it was between Haley and Parker. formed a nice backdrop for all the nut jobs preaching / screaming at the wayward coeds

Does he also play beisbol?
