SumterAubie 3,031 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 to give our Frosh qb extra passing reps? or does Auburn go run heavy to establish a go to ball carrier ahead of playing lsu. I'm thinking every pass Nix throws is an opportunity to calm down, and by doing so, improve. Caveat-I know nothing of the thought process of setting up an offense.

nutspanther 73 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 If they don't take the run away, we will go heavy run. Gus doesn't deviate from this pattern. 30-40 rush attempts - 200-300 yards 15-20 pass attempts - 200-250 yards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUsince72 11,084 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I suspect that if Auburn finds out that it can run on Arky (which, face it.... they SHOULD) then we're likely to see 75% runs with a handful of bombs. This is not a knock....just experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick.AU 13,281 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Better be prepping for how we are going to play without BW, considering he was always a Go to for Gus. Also need to be prepping that against good DL’s our OL can’t move people, so we better start now (really should’ve started during the bye week, hopefully it did) on a formula that is going to help us in the LSU, UGA, and bama games. Making JG a staple on 3rd and shorts when we can’t get a push would help some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Just when I think Gus has become a new coach, he suddenly becomes Gus again and falls into a pattern of predictability. The Florida game was like this. I think if he would have involved Schwartz more in that game, we could have had a good chance of winning it. Gus needs to become unpredictable in a good way the rest of the season and maybe we can win. I do hope we have a great passing game against the piggies and have a coming out party for DJ Williams Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind LSU is next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnTiger4Life 2,225 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I doubt it. We all saw what Nix is capable of during the Miss State game. I suspect we’ll try to establish domincance early with the run game (hopefully DJ). Bo will probably take a few long shots but I expect pretty vanilla play calling to keep LSU from getting too much film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really won’t matter against a DL that isn’t “elite” and not in a tough environment. Bo has to settle down in these big times road games. He had some plays there against UF but either didn’t hit them the right way or didn’t see them. I’m def one that sees the very high potential of Bo’s future, but padding stats won’t help him. We need to tailor things and have a game plan to help Bo and this OL. This OL man to man can’t move anyone that is above average, so scheme matters. People talk about JG not getting a shot against UF, but even more than that, the fact that we didn’t put him in on the multiple 3rd and shorts and completely telegraphed that we were giving it to whitlow up the middle just irks me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d rather go into LSU feeling good about our RBs our OL.

jAUSon 2,836 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Imo the aTm game set the precedent for this game- super focus lazer ninja execution against a team that just can't deal with it. IDk about the run/pass ratio- but the ball will be flying for every reason, most of all the time of possession. We should get a game-and-a-half out of this one. Tons of passing. Tons of running. Saddly I believe very little of what we do will be available at Baton Rouge the following week. I still see 10-2 potential, but that LSU game just aint looking good to me.

alexava 6,973 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I didn’t think we would need to get Bo calmed down. Lol. If anything I thought that would be a given. But as for Arkansas I dont think our coaches are thinking about LSU at all. They should be in the third quarter of this game but not now. But I would predict that we go run heavy early then some bombs but not show a lot of short and underneath unless we need to. I hope we are working on the short and underneath stuff. We have to be able to covert 3rd and short. That’s probably the weakest part of the offense vs Florida. Although we were still in position to win without those conversions. If we start converting those early that game takes a totally different route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means that you don’t have faith in your team that they can execute in the big games. We were throwing flea flickers against Kent state for goodness sake lol. Vanilla at this point in the season maybe for a red zone package, an onside kick, a fake on special teams, not your regular offense lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArgoEagle 1,791 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I always like a balanced offense. To me the most dangerous offenses are the balanced, unpredictable ones. Something Gus has never displayed much of. Having said that, I look for a run heavy o this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennypowers 1,431 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 I just want to see Nix without a visor. Just an unnecessary thing in his way. After a quarter, it's like wearing a pair of badly scratched glasses...ain't nobody got time for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
