But hey. Maybe they just look pedestrian against our defense and they’ll perform fine against everyone else. I just have a feeling that we are goo to have Oline and QB issues again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddc 13,194 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I don’t do score predictions but I’ll be a little bit upset if our defense gives up a touchdown. They need to be lights out from jump. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to see it too. But new coaching staff, new faces, new situation. A lot of different things to play at hand.

TheDob06 443 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I think Harsin will continue to let the O actually play when the backups are in (i.e. let 2nd and 3rd team do more than just handoff). Auburn - 63 Zips - 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not running our offense when back ups in makes mine boil. We are learning a new system and trying to get better, not necessarily trying to pad numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony4AU 386 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 As someone said, Akron is bad. Should be complete domination. If score isn't 50 something to under 10, I will be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUx 3,010 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 33 - 3 Good Guys at the half. 2nd half is installing rest of playbook and cycling all the talent through their likely positions. At the end it's 52 - 9 Good Guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRocket 410 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I don't know what CBH will do but I hope he doesn't run Tank (28) times (shades of Gus) against the Akron Zips. We have some other good backs and it will be a long season (COVID permitting). Auburn - 51 Akron - 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auhud08 596 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Side question: Auburn is up comfortably in the first half- do you want to see the backups come in or do you want to see Auburn open the playbook? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuburnNTexas 7,154 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I want to see a couple of things 1st a lockdown defense and an offense that shows it is mastering the new system and has a minimum of mental break downs. If that happens Akron should only score against third team defense if at all and offense should roll up a decent amount of points. 51-10 and the TD by Akron is against the third team. I want the score run up in first half so we can get legitimate PT for both Finley and DD and when Finley and DD are in we run the same offense we run when Bo is in.

If we struggle this game, it’s going to be a long season. This is one of a few games to build a big lead and look at some other guys. I kind of think Harsin is a hard nosed coach like Dye was and to an extent Tubberville. Naturally the jury is still out on whether or not he will be able to recruit elite athletes. I think OM is going to be tough and rude this year. Kiffin can be an idiot at times, but I do think he’s a really good coach. Just my thoughts.
