Our defense has been good enough to win every game we have played and will play. Our problem is when Gus interferes with the offense. Then our offense starts giving up points with turnovers and repeated three and outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keesler 5,924 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 IMHO, some of it is Gus’ interference and some of its Chip as well. But against the Aggies, I think a really good defense with a heavy dose of reliable running can get a Win. We will need solid execution on the lines and I think they step up big time after a week off to heal up and recharge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigskinPat 2,575 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 We pretty much had this mindset going into the LSU game. After LSU lost to Troy on their home field, we were thinking there’s no way the streak of losses in Baton Rouge doesn’t come to an end. I’m hoping Gus doesn’t prove us wrong again.

I literally hated seeing MSU win fairly handily last night...the same bad vibes I had after Troy won at LSU. Hope Gus proves me wrong on this one!

BJCrawford 1,568 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I cannot believe we are a 15 point favorite. That seems ridiculously high to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aujeff11 6,243 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Watch us stomp A&M and get Sumlin fired. There COULD BE 4 or 5 SEC HC vacancies before we can even fire ours. Might as well keep Malzahn for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAYLORKEETON 789 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 We did say "NO EXCUSES" before the LSU game...& look what happened. Now A&M is the next "NO EXCUSES" game. Man, I'm just along for the ride now. All of my expectations went out the window a few weeks ago. Now, I'm just hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

At least we can stop this mad descent that we are presently experiencing with Gus driving, and start back rebuilding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we can stop this mad descent that we are presently experiencing with Gus driving, and start back rebuilding. I disagree. If Tennessee, Arky, Florida, and TAM are searching for HC’s as well, it puts us at risk of not getting the coach that we want (I’m guessing Ole Miss stills wants a permanent coach as well or is Luke already the permanent coach?) Either way, we cannot be firing people just to be firing people without doing the necessary due diligence. We have to make sure we have contingencies in order once we pull the trigger. Why? Because I still think Malzahn is building something. He’s got some good offensive recruits committed( Joey Gatewood just called Malzahn “my guy” on Twitter,) and he’s got a great defense backing him right now. The status quo isn’t bad if the offense can get cleaned up. No need to get rid of the status quo if we don’t have any clue how the coaching dominoes will fall.

jAUSon 2,836 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Same as LSU. And about the same quality of opponent. To A&M, this is the "nothing to lose" game. The MSU blowout means nothing. The fact we are way heavey handed in this match-up also means almost nothing (for a certain unbelievable reason). Still- we should run them off the field. As for UGA, they're awesome. But haven't they just been pounding the losers just like us? Our team is built better than any team since I don't know when. Imagine how the '17 Auburn tigers would approach UGA with such a head of steam, had we not.....ahem....laid a deuce at LSU. No comment on the playoff situation whatsoever.

Farmer Brown 2,391 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 It is hard to get my hopes up for winning the rest of our games. We may even revert to the LSU gameplan. You never know with Gustard. He is probably still evaluating personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthGATiger 1,801 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 This game mainly comes down to one thing. A&M defense. Gus does not do well against a good defense with a pulse. If we run all long developing routes with no check down and A&M can stop the run and get pressure on #8 then they win. If we can run the football and use the big play as a big play instead of an every down route then we win easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're like Bama, but wearing a lighter shade of red. It would take relentless effort and flawless execution of a stellar game plan by our coaching staff to beat them. I have faith in our players having relentless effort and flawlessly executing a game plan, but the game plan the coaches will call on them to execute is what I lack faith in. Uga would beat Bama today and it would not be close I don't think. When you have an O-Line so good that you only complete 4 passes during the whole game you are dang good. That Oline just destroys teams. The backs get the credit but every back on their roster puts up big numbers and makes it look easy. If Bama wants to beat Georgia then Hurts will need his best game to date passing. I hate Georgia worse than any team but I see them wearing us down and winning big.

Gus needs to stay out of the way. If we score 60+ points who cares, let the kids play and let the coordinators do their job. Gus needs to worry about winning championships and building the program.
