Dual-Threat Rigby 8,662 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 1. Gus Malzahn hasn't changed... If you been an auburn fan for the past two years, you know exactly what I mean. Questionable decisions, good decisions, deciding to leave QBs in a bit too long etc. 2. We got beat up.... We escaped the injury bug basically in training camp but we definitely didn't escape it today. Two players who had their departures immediately noticed were Tray and Carl. We need them back by LSU 3. OL wasn't good... They weren't bad by any means, but they can be a LOT better 4. Barber was LEGIT... I wish we could've seen more of him last year but he proved that he can be a #1 back today. 5. Jason Smith is good.... Dude was great today along with Duke. Hope to see more of these two very often 6. Muschamp did a good job everything considering... Back when he had Lawson and Matthews playing 100% this defense was lights out. When Lawson left it was an immediate drop and it was 2014 esque by the time Matthews dropped. I believe in Muschamp nevertheless 7. This was a bad game... We didn't look anything like a top 10 or top 25 team. Thankfully several other top 10 teams didn't either. 8. Jeremy is still the future??? I think so but man a fundamental problem such as reading coverage is something that's very hard to accept for a QB that should be as accurate as Jeremy. I think he deserves another chance 9-10. When healthy..this is a top 10 team disregarding the QB position. Whenever Jeremy learns to throw and makes it easier for the OL, we can make some major moves. WEagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen that 2nd half offense by a Petrino coached team. Ever. Until today. Neither has Will. And I have seen very few players like #8, or at least like he ran and threw today. He was amazing. Now teams know him, and it probably won't be as effective, but today....I'm glad it's over, and hope our guys aren't hurt. We barely beat MSU and Clemson in 2010.

Maverick.AU 13,279 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Gus' play calling was a little skeptical in this game, he put way too much pressure on JJ IMO and JJ felt like he had to make the big play. It'll work itself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Need to limit the turn overs and all of those were on JJ. You don't throw into triple coverage nor directly to an opposing team member. All of those errors were on him and not the play calling. The plays that were called just weren't executed properly. Let's hope for marked improvement or there will be calls for White Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUBwins 10,074 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I think it was important not to bench JJ since we still had the lead to play with. We almost lost the game but you want to show u believe in him to overcome this. He needs a game in Jordan hare to get things right before LSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerbrotha12 2,362 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Relax. First game. Barely beat Wash State in 2013 in first game; lots of bugs to work out. We beat good D1 team at a neutral site! Gotta believe Johnson will bounce back. First game guys; chill, enjoy the win, and watch Wiscy beat the turds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFAN78 3,894 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I don't agree with everything in the OP, but some valid points. JJ must improve. Tray, Carl and Roc need to get healthy. I think Louisville has a shot to win ACC. Number no. 8 is illusive and will give defenses fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game guys; chill, enjoy the win, and watch Wiscy beat the turds I have more positives than negatives in the games where we had more positives than negatives. This wasn't that game. I don't believe I've done these since 2013, and if you dig up one of those, they'll likely be positive. In the grand scheme of things, this is a solid win, yes.

weagl1 1,782 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I just don't understand the Jeremy thing today. Some of those throws were just plain awful. He's lucky that last one wasn't intercepted too. He made 4 throws right into coverage, in some cases double and triple coverage. We have never seen that from him.

Tiger 8,818 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Because we have barely seen him. He'll learn and get better. Gus usually takes a few games to truly know his QB. If we escape that window without any losses we could be serious CFP contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug3020 842 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 No one asked, but here's my take: 1) All in all, JJ looked pretty poor. He was lucky to escape with just 3 int's. Not sure what's going on with him, but man..... 2) Barber looked good. Steady. Picked up a blitz in the 2nd quarter that allowed a first down completion. 3) Defense was much improved compared to last season and then... 4) Louisville's freshman QB is a stud. He's gonna run circles around a lot of people this season 5) Our D was gassed in the 4th qtr. Took a lot out of our kids chasing around the QB I created for my playstation football game 6) O-line has some wood to chop. There is potential to be good, but also remember that Louisville's front 7 was there strength going into this game. 7) D-line looked much improved. Even when Lawson was out of the game there was push, we just couldn't contain their QB. 8) Our H-backs are much improved over last season 9) Special Teams looked pretty good overall. Even with Louis getting his rear end planted on the KO return. Ford had a nice return. No fumbled punts. 10) It's week one. I was very nervous heading into this game. Louisville obviously had two different game plans. We didn't look prepared for their zone read. Again, their QB is legit. Petrino has been around this game for a long time and was talking this kid up off of HS film. My bet is he has lit up their defense all of Fall camp. If JJ gets it together we'll be alright. Pretty obvious he was pressing. If he continues to struggle, get ready for Sean White. Hopefully the former will prevail. We're 1-0. WDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
