AURex 1,995 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I am disappointed in the play of the DL. They should have been better. I'm disappointed in the play of Auburn's secondary and OL. Even though we've known for a long time they were the weak areas of the team, I had hoped for more.. I'm disappointed in the play of Stidham for this entire season so far. This is no Heisman QB. Not even close. And I am disappointed in the AUF family trying to lay the blame for the LSU loss on the refs. Auburn lost to LSU because LSU performed better in this game in the second half. If you look at StatTigers analysis, Auburn did not earn or deserve a win in this game and it was not the refs anywhere in that equation.. As with last season, I hope that AU will rise up and beat the holy s**t out of every upcoming opponent. BUT I WILL NOT MAKE EXCUSES FOR LSU. War Eagle! That is all.

DAG 33,982 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Time to move on. The season is not over! We still have respect from the media. We don't control our destiny but that's okay! Now, we just need to worry about what we can control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True and at least LSU plays UGA and UA so that's as good as it could get for Auburn in this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auskull 239 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Another opportunity lost. At home and not as good as we thought we would be. In fact, maybe not much better than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part agree, but I excuse the DL in some respects. I am disappointed CKS decided to rush four in the face of max protection which included 7 sometimes 8 defenders. Moving on.............

I respectfully disagree with you on this one. This will go on forever and it is time to lay it to rest. Bad calls ruined our chances. If either of those last 2 PI calls, had been made correctly, we would all be one happy family ready to take on the rest of the SEC west. Gus made some great calls and some crappy ones. I hope Gus will make more good calls and will like all of you will hold him accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win out there is no way they can keep us out, even if we miss the SEC Championship because LSU is somehow there. Right now we are 9th. If we beat Alabama and UGA, top 4 teams, those two wins right there would merit a jump into the top 5 at least. We just need to turn it on like we did after the LSU loss in 2013 and 2017.

I don't think it even compares. Everyone said RB and OL would determine the season... And it has so far. We can't run on legit defenses. That creates issues normally. Under normal circumstances, the coaching staff would throw more if the running game isn't performing. Not this one. Gus will pound it right up the middle, blocking or not...

There are still too many variables to know how things will turn out. If LSU beats both of them (and possibly facing UGA again in the SECCG), they will drop in the polls and our wins over them would not look quite as good. Not that I think that's going to happen. As unlikely as we think it is to happen, UGA and Bama could end up losing a couple they should win - especially if key players (e.g., Tua or Fromm) get hurt.

TigerOne 1,140 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Lsu was better prepared than Auburn. We thought we could just show up, home game, media hype all picking Auburn, long home game winning streak, no one seemed worriedno sense of urgency or concern from the coaches until the first quarter. Then it's too late or oops we have a problem. Get a good lead, then settle back down everyone saw it coming but coaches panicked didn't know what to do because of poor preparation, plus add the heat and bad officiating..perfect storm for a well prepared LSU team. Bottom line coaches haven't learned anything, Auburn being a young team needs strong leadership from the sideline and the field. Instead ahhh that's ok , we will fix it (will they?) and get ready for Arkansas. Don't want to embarrass your buddy Arky coach, Gus? well you better. Win by 6 touchdowns or more.

I don't understand the "Gus will pound it...blocking or not". In the 2 P5 games this year, we have run it 83 time sand thrown it 64 times. While not 1 to 1 ratio, it is a 1.3 to 1 ratio. Pretty fair balance IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty fair balance IMO. 8 out of 10 times on first down its still hurry up to the line, run right up the middle. Nevermind he doesn't have the RB who can take that. Nevermind he doesn't have the inside blocking to block for the run that everyone knows is coming right up the middle. That's what I mean by Gus pounding it blocking or not. Gus hasn't shown he can change this yet. It still happens after a majority of our 1st downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc I did not see us running it up the middle 80% of the time in first down.

Auburn2Eugene 2,317 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 No, and maybe it is 73% or could be 69%, I dont have the exact numbers. But if you can't tell we are still rushing up to the line and running it up the gut after a 1st down, you aren't paying attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
