I can't wait for Stat Tiger to tell us how many times we ran up the middle on first down again tonight. The Kerryon wildcat on 4th down was sheer lunacy. . We just either get too conservative or over think things down there. It's probably going to cause Gus to over think things even more unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charleston Tiger 134 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I swear over half our fan base isn't happy if they don't have something to complain about. We won. Enjoy it and stop complaining for ONE NIGHT. Then you can feel free to continue your lynch mob Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches get blamed for calling bad plays when the players fail to execute......not sure about the logic of that. And LSU was ranked in the top 20 so it was not like we were playing some FCS team. I didn't blame the playcalling tonight though. I agree that on a couple chances for TDs it was guys not making plays. However, we were still in the RZ way too many times to come away with only FGs. I feel like we just have to change scheme down there. It wasn't bad playcalling but it wasn't exactly that good either. It was vanilla. My biggest reason for the scheme change is that our OL simply isn't were it needs to be right now so vanilla isn't going to get it done consistently down there. We do have to figure out how to fix it and fix it fast b/c unlike LSU other teams can score TDs so we have to figure out something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that last play never should have happened anyway. Maybe @WarTiger will chime in on this. I thought that should've been game as well.

Maybe winning an SEC game at home gets a MALzahn off the back...errr...monkey off the back.... and things start clicking. As it sits, Oline coaching seems really bad and play calling is even worse. But, a win is a win so maybe the pathetic game plan was the right one I think we are doing the best with what we have as far as the o-line goes. I thought the play calling was better tonight. LSU's defense is for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUpreacherman22 3,885 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I liked this game plan. It wasn't flashy, but it was more efficient. I would have liked a little more variation, and we definitely need some work in the Red Zone, but the point was to be conservative on O and trust the D and ST. The coaching was much better this week IMHO. We still have a long way to go, but we made some strides today. Furthermore, we now have some momentum! Momentum and Positive Energy can do A WHOLE LOT for a football team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wareagleguy 1,393 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I'm proud for our players to get a win like this one. First, because it was a home SEC win! Second, it was against a Top 20 team (rank, whatever your perception may be). Third, winning against LSWho after last year's demoralizing game. Fourth, hard work pays off. Fifth, a W is a W! Yes, I could go on, but again, proud for our players! Great heart. Great effort. Auburn Tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, even at age 55 I can remember when a 24-21 game was considered high scoring. Most coaches wanted to win like 10-6 or 14-7, etc. One of AU's best wins over LSU was in our undefeated season in 2004....AU won the game 10-9....a classic game in this rivalry. LSU almost blocked the extra point by jumping over the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timeslider 6 269 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 this game may very well mean that Les gets the boot, the problem is if they get someone in there that can coach they can be crazy good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense is terrible but the defense is good enough to get us victories against Arkansas, UGA, Vandy, Miss state. I truly believe that. Arky is beating aTm... UGA will likely improve on O, us? Who knows. With the current play calling, 8-4 as you suggest would be a miracle. 7-5 maybe with some luck...get a couple injuries and 5-7 is very possible. Better play calling is all we need, but I'm not sure if we will get it or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I believe in the power of prayer. This game is an answered prayer for me and probably thousands of other Auburn fans. I missed a lot of the game tending to my little Welsh Corgi with her bathroom accidents. I know she has probably a month of life left and I am making the most of it for her. She is my WDC for sure!

I remember some of the Dye-era games, including the 7-6 heartbreaker earthquake game (Dang you, Tommy Hodson!) in Baton Rouge that likely cost our Tigers a shot at the national championship after the 88 season.
