Win4AU 4,055 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Arkansas and Vandy. Based on how Auburn is playing on the road even Vandy isn’t a gimme. When was the last time Arkansas beat Auburn in Fayetteville? 2015? They’ll be excited to see blood in the water. The last 2 trips to Vandy were losses in 08 & 12. The 2 worst teams I’ve seen Auburn field up until this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkansas has a lot of problems and may be just as bad off as Auburn by the time that game rolls around. The difference is you’ll have a coach in year 1 and a coach that’s probably on his way out. Assuming Auburn musters up enough offense to beat Vandy and Miss State the Arkansas game would be the difference in a 6 or 7 win season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUY2K 272 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 I have no faith in our remaining away games. Could Vandy beat Cal? I can only hope we beat MSU and surely the NMS game is a win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabby 1,958 Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 With Peyton Thorne probably slightly less than 50/50 on both of those games better odds with Ashford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUY2K 272 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I will have more confidence in getting wins if CHF just calls set plays from the sideline (Example our slant plays against LSU) instead of leaving it up to the QBs - ditching the RPO system. BUT that will not benefit CHF's plan for building next year and years to come. I think he is set on getting through the season with the RPO system and limiting on him sending in set plays taking away all decision making from the QBs.

This will be the latest game in Fayettenam in AU history. Weather can get super cold super quick there. 10/30/1993 produced snow & a 10 degree wind chill.

I think he is set on getting through the season with the RPO system and limiting on him sending in set plays taking away all decision making from the QBs. Just like Malzahn’s read option offense, there are some calls that are not really reads but called plays to go a certain way. I believe these slants may have been called to be slant passes rather than options. The hand off fake was still used to pull the LB’s forward. Just a thought.

They say the way Fayettenam is half encompassed by mountains and 1,332 feet above sea level makes it more vulnerable to wacky, cold weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,778 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) I'm far from a sunshine pumper but in regards to the last two visits to Vandy, those were much better Vandy squads than the current one.

Not to mention the officials calling a Cal touchdown back, that should’ve been six. Sure glad we got a break there, we don’t get too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. I think both were Vandy bowl teams. James Franklin was the coach in 2012? Vandy and Ga Tech have both caught Auburn at the perfect time the past couple times they’ve played.
