Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 2 minutes ago, GwillMac6 said: If anyone wants to know why people are always coming for Gus throat this first half is why. Gus can never sustain positive and forward momentum. We had a huge win in the iron bowl then come out and fall flat on our face in the first half with a team vastly inferior to us. We have a shot at 10 wins and a chance to carry a ton of excitement in to next season but this happens... This is almost exactly like the UGA game in 2014...or 2017. Beat their ass in the first few minutes, fumble the ball once, spiral out of control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,150 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 I thought his Toe was in the orange but it does not matter. If we lose this game it is because they are better coached on both sides of the ball and they are matching us physically. Their RB runs hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have watched film and turned our strength's into weakness. They double team Brown and then use Davidson's natural aggressiveness against him. The other issue is our LB's are not playing well as they should be filling the hole where RB is running. Since Brown is getting double teamed and sometimes triple teamed they should be in a position to make the plays. The offense hasn’t done squat either. They brought Shaun in one play and he got four yards then they took him back out. Gus is just plain dumb. No way to sugar coat it. The only play that has worked was a busted play. That tells you how smart Gus is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steele has his hands full with his own side of the ball right now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we turn it around in the second half. Look for Whitlow to make some plays to jumpstart this offense. Don’t blame the officials . AU has to own that they are stinking .

tigerman1186 537 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 The OL has had their butts handed to them too...also, if Schwartz is the fasting player in the country, you'd think at least once you would send him deep and throw it up to him...we haven't done it once all year...

gr82b4au 5,568 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 It is pretty simple. They are controlling both sides of the line. Our OL looks terrible. They can’t run block. They can’t pass block. Nix is having to make plays with his feet just to be able to pass the ball because the line is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything was going well and that changed the momentum. Defense went back out, got tired, gave up a TD, etc. But even without it, we still wouldn’t be able to run the ball. Once again, the clear lack of an offensive line worth a damn is killing this offense. That’s still on Gus for failing at building that line.

PigskinPat 2,579 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Gus is just doing what he is the master of: gains favor with the Auburn faithful by pulling off a huge Iron Bowl victory only to take a big dump on it by what he’s doing today. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUght2win 6,840 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Fleck is completely outcoaching Steele. Screens. Draw for 20 yards on 2nd and 16. He is really taking advantage of our personnel packages. Throw on heavier defenses, run with nickel or dime linebacker sets. We better go three linebackers, stop the run, and depend on our DBs to lock down their WRs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every football game I’ve watched has had two halves and AU hasn’t given up in a game yet this year. As good as Minnesota has played they needed help from the refs to score.
