Oregon - GAME THREAD

[AU64 10,122]

oh my....missed FG when points are gonna be really tough tonight....

JMO but the WRs are not helping Bo much either.....Williams made a h-a effort on that pass into the end zone a few plays ago. 

[cole256 17,069]

We can do everything but throw a freaking jump ball for our wr....

[Tigerninja 27]

Wow.  This is just bad.  Defense started to click, but the O-line is just......not.

[jw 4 au 526]

We don’t look prepared. Hopefully we have a HUGE halftime adjustment and get the ship righted. 

[ArgoEagle 1,788]

Here we go with Gus' worst weakness. He is getting schooled by the Oregon d Coordinater. If he follows suit and does not make adjustments at halftime, this could get ugly.

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

Redzone playcalling still leaves a lot to be desired

At least the defense looks legit. The offense is the same old-same old.

What are you talking about?  Gus's offenses are way better with a mobile QB.  Also Gus is in his comfort zone calling plays.  I feel bad for Oregon.

[Eagle Eye 7 2,535]

I got an idea. Gus at halftime turn over play calling to Kodi and maybe we can pull this out.

[doverstutts 1,643]

now, who thinks malzahn is a great playcaller?

[WhoDatWarEagle 111]

It appears the rest of the team doesn’t seem to be behind Bo...

Are our receivers getting open?

We only throw 50/50 balls.

Long developing pass play every down. Why doesn't this nut develop some intermediate pass routes?

Because he is "Coach Doesnt Give-a-Damn" (CDGD) and this is what he does. He doesnt admit he doeant have a clue, runs the gimmick play 100% of the time. He NEVER runs the power play. Power look? We dont even practice it, but with this OL why run it?

Nix running for his life and tucks it and runs and picks up a 1st down.

Bo can’t do anything when he’s always running for his life.  I don’t even understand what the OL is doing.

Man we have to keep the pressure ot off the backfield

Kid is running for his life. This is not how you want to ease your freshman into his career

The answer to all the above is this: The staff have already given up on our OL. They went thru the entire off season and hard-headedly did not do anything to correct one of the worst OLs in the SEC. We are running Roll-outs and sweeps because the staff has given up on the OL. No JUCOs, No transfers. The OL picked up right where it left off last season.

not sure but i know they arnt out jumping their 5'6" cover db's 

[TAYLORKEETON 792]

So lucky to only be down 14-6

[AUpreacherman22 3,885]

The Gus haters have been given a ton of ammo in this first half. 

The team was very unprepared and Gus’ play calling was embarrassingly bad.    Those last 2 drives were Coxcat bad!!!

[Barnacle 9,064]

We played as horrid a half as you can imagine, and we are only down one score. Keep that in mind, folks. 

[Zeek 16,650]

We have to quit scheduling these games first thing. Look at LSU murdering GASO. That’s the kind of team that would have been a perfect tune up.

Ha and an Anders miss. Was it more than 40 yards? Wow. 

42. He has a long ways to go to fill his older brothers shoes.

[JDUBB4AU 5,121]

Au has double the talent OU does. Gus can’t do a damn thing . He is awful . Same tired plays . I feel awful for the offense

Just like Stidham he is in the WRONG offense for him. Dude has a ton of talent. But Gus has no clue what to do with a Pass first guy. NONE. He has shown us time and time again.

Bo actually has legs and that’s what is saving us right now 

[yngwie1995 2,229]

We're lucky to be in this damn game. I hope we can make adjustments, I'm just not so confident, especially with how Gus handled 1st and goal at the 2. 😔

[Malcolm_FleX48 1,869]

This was not a good school choice for Bo. I'm just going to be candid. 

This is partially why Auburn doesn't get top tier QB talent. Its not placed in an environment where it can grow. The play-calling is nothing that you want for a freshman QB. No tempo passing, no sort of easy reads, the run game isn't helpful, and his receiving personnel doesn't allow him much margin for error. You really hate to see it. 

I know everyone is enthusiastic about Bo and he has a lot of talent + would be a good father-son story, but at the same time, this isn't the best thing for him. Developmentally this game is going to lead to some bad habits, (See Sean and Stidham's weird fall-away motion post throw.) his confidence is going to take some significant hits, and his mental clock is going to be abnormally short. 

[weathergeakal 283]

D showed up there in the 2nd. Im not worried at this point. I think once we arnt in a 2 min drill and can run the ball with rpos we can do something, Not concerned about Bo and think he is playing well for the moment. WDE

[DAG 33,982]

Just got home.. still down 14-6 I see. Seems like it should be much more 

[Farmer Brown 2,391]

What is Gus' buyout after this year?LOL.
