Actually a win to stop them but I don't know if we can score

But of course he's done this against jacksonville st. so it doesn't matter what he does

I don't know what it'll take for Gus to get fired this year honestly. I'm guessing sub 7 wins. I can't even say that seems likely because 3 of the next 5 teams we play, lost today. So we're in the same boat as them probably. 7 wins is still realistic, even though that'd be personally enough to ask him to leave

O line cannot block 

DeShawn da is is a beast!

D holding up

[AUBwins 10,075]

I do like how we are hitting Watson when he runs

[YankeeTiger24 98]

Dashaun Davis is a bad ass

 

[AuburnNTexas 7,145]

As bad as O has played we are doing great to only be down by 7.

[Barnacle 9,064]

Our defense is awesome. Holy cow. Adams whooped that double team. Just lacking secondary depth.

I sure would like to hear the halftime talk the o-line is going to get.

New coaches same DB penalties that extend drives.  

Makes you wonder how difficult it is to play the position, huh?

We're lucky to only be down 10-3. Clemson is the better team right now

[Malcolm_FleX48 1,869]

Right now, there has to be an adjustment at the half. Defensively, you don't want to overcompensate with Williams and do too much to cover him because they want that. That's when the other weapons come alive. They've got to remain balanced and the nickel and a corners have to do better covering him. Deshaun has been somewhat tamed, but I don't think he needed to leap out, because they really seem like they're pacing themselves and resting this on the defense.

Oh hell yeah! It is refreshing to see QBs actually paying when they got out of the pocket. Haven't seen that since Tuberville days

[Dual-Threat Rigby 8,667]

This feels alot worse than a 7 point game, I'd say. Hopefully it stops feeling like that going into next half

[madkat7 233]

Can't believe we are only down 1 score.

On the bright side, if anyone had told me AU would be within four points at 7-3 at this point in the game, I'd have gladly taken it. Our Tigers ain't out of this thing and AU's defense *is* better than the last few years for sure.

It's possible that our offense is worse, tho.

[80Tiger 899]

Hopefully our strategy has been to let Williams run wild and cramp up and be exhausted in the second half

People typically think it's run and swat at a ball.....

[Weegle777 78]

We need a QB with some swag boys. We have nothing from what I've seen.

he's lighting up anything that lines in front of him outside of Joshua Holsey

[Malcolm_FleX48 1,869]

Meanwhile, Alabama is beating a top 20 team with a TRUE FRESHMAN QB.

The back shoulder throw is the hardest pass to defend when thrown correctly. There is no way, if in phase, for a corner to defend it.
