OKieAuburnDoug 1 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Can someone explain how AUburn's OL is only the 7th best in the conference?? At least we have the best fron 7 on D in the country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bammanmr 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 CFN is not very accurate in their preseason previews. Last season they predicted us to lose 3 games, with one of them being ole miss . In 2002, they picked us to finish 4th in the west, and they picked us 3rd in 2001 and 2000. Just like everybody else, the guys they have writing about things really don't know any more than they've read in Athlon, Street & Smith's and Lindy's.

bigsixfive 328 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 This wasn't always the most explosive attack last year What? Did I fall asleep and miss a season or something? What are they talking about? No, we didn't run up the score on Arizona or Baylor week after week, but we were facing some of the nations best defenses as well as shutting down some of the better offenses. And even in stiffer competition, I thought we were pretty dang explosive right when we needed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunzelTiger 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I agree with the assesment that we weren't very explosive. I don't feel that we were much of a 1st and 10 score an 80 yard TD run kinda team, but rather we would manufacture TDs and be on an unstoppable march to the goal line. Effective? yes. explosive? no. Granted there are exceptions to this opinion: Arky (the flea flicker), Ole Miss (Caddy's 48yd run), etc. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the Aub vs Tenn. game....heck both of them. Auburn's offense exploded against that team. Even vs Alabama in the 2nd half, we opened it up. The only games I can think of where we werent so explosive was VTech and LSWho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KunzelTiger 0 Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 IMO, the 2004 tigers (and west coast offense in general) seem to epitomize ball control as opposed to explosions like the Texas Tech/Boise St.'s of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,805 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 Not to give the cfn's of the world more credit than they deserve, but I'm more than a little concerned about the o-line issue too. With an entirely new, young backfiled this year, the one squad we canNOT have let us down is the o-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Sanders 123 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I have to disagree with them and say that our offense was very explosive. If you put up 24/31 points in the 1st half to some of the better defenses out there, then that has to say something. I mean, if we were just a ball control offense, there is no way we would score 24-31 points in a single half. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
