Popular Post passthebiscuits 6,886 Posted September 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2023 A very ugly win, but a win none the less. Hopefully we learn from this one. Saw some really good halftime adjustments tho. I thought we would lose this one, so I’ll take the win. Obviously, you see what I’m saying about not being world-beaters this year. But y’all…the team we had on paper before Freeze would have been run out of that stadium. I remember back to 2010 when we won it all, and we had a very ugly win at home against Miss State and a very ugly win at Kentucky. Sometimes I think we get pretty short sided. Also, if we win 37-33 people would probably give us grief about our defense. I dunno. I just think there’s way too much positive with our program right now to do what we usually do and go off the rails. Final thought. Please please please Auburn people, don’t lose your grip on reality. We traveled out to California with a brand new football team and beat a team with a pulse. We are moving in a positive direction in all areas. Let’s celebrate this program and a win! For the love, just keep heading forward!

jj3jordan 2,082 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 One point off the Vegas spread. Those guys somehow know although they whiffed on the over/under. Should have scored 28-31 points easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted September 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2023 I agree 100%. I just want us to roll with one QB and let him get a rhythm. Running QBs in and out simply doesn't help an offense that is struggling. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 34,035 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 They better quickly identify a qb next week that they trust can throw the ball down the field. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck4334 66 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Both QBs only look to one side to throw. This team is in trouble if this is not fixed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passthebiscuits 6,886 Posted September 10, 2023 Author Share Posted September 10, 2023 Agree on the 1 QB. I think it doesn’t help us much to roll Robbie in there if he can’t throw. So, I go Thorne and take my chances. That said….work in progress. Looked like our receivers weren’t getting a ton of separation either. Whole offense looked rattled for 3.75 quarters. Definitely many many things to improve upon. Just hoping we don’t jump ship at the first sign of waves. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post GoAU 1,612 Posted September 10, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 10, 2023 As much as the offense struggled, let’s give some props to the D. These guys were in bad spots all night long and rose to the occasion! Asante - wow, just wow. The team didn’t roll over - kept fighting, even with all the mental challenges of shooting ourselves in the feet. Winning as you come through adversity pulls a team together and builds mental toughness. It wasn’t the win I was expecting, and we should have done more, but War Eagle Anyway, I’ll take it!!! 13 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll say I’m very concerned with offensive gameplay and play calling. If they had no idea Thorne was gonna get the yips… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShocksMyBrain 9,389 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 At least 1 positive thing about the offense can be taken away, our redzone scoring efficiency was 100%. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsAU 1,343 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Let’s call this what it was. The coaches missed on the offensive game plans. Robby should play. But he got too many snaps tonight, and it stopped Thorne from rally having a chance to get in rhythm. Play calling with Robby was very vanilla. Hopefully the coaches get it straighted out by A&M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,055 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Either Auburn doesn’t have a Qb or WRs. Too many horizontal runs. Defense may actually be the strength of this team. Shocked with the lack of running game. Oline didn’t get a lot of push but that may have been from Cal loading the box. Glad to get out with a W.

He did have a chance, and thank goodness the Cal defender had stone hands or the game would have ended differently. Don’t get me wrong, I like Robby, but he had the same issue with trying to force throws last season too. As CHF said after the game - he’ll take the win, and then be hard on them come Monday. Still have some growing to do, and this game can be built off of. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went for 1/3 in the game although two incompletions could certainly almost be counted as an interception. I was hoping for a better passing attack, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randman5000 4,235 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) This running with the QBs is complete bull.. Thorne can also hand the ball off. Bringing Robby to do that is a waste. Throw the slant out of the ball. We won but they missed 3 FGs. Lots of questions for Freeze. Also stop the puns now..

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,819 Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I don’t think it’s many folks left that are of the “they’re saving the Robby passes for the harder games” mindset. Majority of us just have to agree that they’re bringing him in there with the thought that it’ll free the run game, which simply will not work with any consistent success if the guy throws 5 or less times with the amount of snaps he gets. I don’t know if Payton will be good enough as a passer to let them just be a traditional downhill running attack without Robbie, and I don’t know if it’s worth it to play Robbie if this is how they’ll use him. I did think it was coach speak by Freeze, but it is increasingly evident they eventually went back and forth and didn’t land on a particularly great spot when it came to the QB race. That being said I’m not particularly down on the team and we’re still on track to be about where I expected us to be this season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
