And just noting that I did not see anything from CP that seemed unusually creative....or that he had managed to coach his team to play beyond their level of talent. After all, he had the benefit of a 4 year QB and very experienced RB and was ranked #6 nationally.....and his team lost. I just asked the question on how a person would watch that game and say one coach outdid the other.....but I see what you did there. After watching the game what position groups would you say of theirs had more talent than ours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way they the #6 team. Classic preseason poll irrelevance imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say their secondary is better than ours, or at least they know how to play the ball better in the air than us. Based just on tonight, I would also have to say their RBs are better.

Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Look all you armchair QBs, ? jk . In reality this was a first game of the year if y’all will gladly review the last three years starts I think you can find some happiness in this game. Sure a lot of mistakes all to be expected early in the season. I don’t know the exact count but I saw a lot of freshmen and RF playing today. I saw a pretty good effort from JD playing with one hand. Saw a lot of effort and success from Noah playing his first game on Defense. Bobbie started out slow but got better as it went. Kmart Did fairly well also. I think our OL will get better with experience playing together. I told you that I expected JS to do more design runs and he did. Carlson Jr missed a couple of FGs but again that should be expected, Daniel wasn’t perfect either. Peterson went for broke against us and changed it up as he went. All in all a good win. Winning against a good team like Washington will give this team great confidence in the future. Auburn crowd looked and sounded great. I’m believing this team has the makings of champions. War Eagle. ps I decided not to post much during the games this year, to much crow to eat last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnTiger4Life 2,225 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 I was reading the UW page and I can’t believe how many of them are blaming browning for the loss.... especially after those two beautiful TD passes he threw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Refuge 6,668 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 War damn eagle on a well earned win by the Auburn University football team. No matter what some of y’all think about the head coach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The Doc's stomach did a few turns, but the men came through in a big way and deserve all of the accolades we can bestow on them! WDE! I think we played one of the top 3 teams on our schedule today and it felt absolutely good to get the win. One last thing, the announcers were so husky biased that it got to the point to where I just turned off the volume and watched the game in peace.

My understanding is that it is more their experience than having higher rated players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defensive line is part of Malzahn’s weapons. Give it a break with the Gus bashing. Sayjng that Gus did not “outcoach” one of the best football minds in college football is not bashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Washington WR's made some amazing receptions on very good coverage Thought Kmart looked indecisive running the ball, but that the defense was probably the reason. We beat a very good Washington team. This was the best that we looked to start a season with Gus. This x 1000. The receivers made insane catches. Our coverage, although many will disagree, was very tight. J.Davis' DPI was really the only missed coverage. Even then he was able to recover and somewhat get in position. He made the right play trying for the Flag.

AU64 10,122 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 So on another subject.....what is the assessment of our Special Teams ? One game is a small sample....but will the new kick-off rules help or hurt us? JMO but I thought for a freshman, Carlson II looked pretty good. not even a thought of a return by Udub.

ShocksMyBrain 9,366 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 My biggest problem was the penalties. We looked totally undisciplined. Offensive line needs some time to gel(again). The Boobie/Martin battle might be fun to watch. As usual, the future is bright and it’ll be fun to watch this team develop and all those other platitudes.

AUJedi 243 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Proud of the win. Proud for the players. Still feel like we underachieve with the talent we have. Especially for $7 million/year.

Zeek 16,650 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Very ugly but here’s the optimist in me: we beat a top 5 team playing sloppy and below our ability level and giving up 100+ penalties. Our best seasons have come when we learn early how to win ugly. positives: 1. Our d-line is monstrous 2. No injuries that I noticed. At least not any that should carry over. 3. Stidham is damn accurate and he actually saved a lot of plays with his feet. 4. Pass protection actually looked solid. 5. We got almost all of the receivers involved. Sal getting that T.D. catch was astounding. 6. Lil Carlson is a freshmen but he can kick! 7. Siposs flipped the field twice! 8. Iggy is going to be special. 9. Ryan Davis needs more targets and his punt returns were excellent. He was playing his heart out. 10. Against a strong front 7 and with predictable run plays KMart still got 80 yards. Him and Boobee are essentially freshmen when it comes to playing experience. They’ll develop into studs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
