I think that’s what concerns many. Hugh turned the offense over to PM. So Hugh needs to figure out what he want on offense and get it done. Whatever this Frankenstein monster of an offense is, it ain’t it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only issue is that this has been a worse showing early on than Harsin or Gus. I know everybody is saying that HF is elsewhere building for next year but we are not building blocks for next year on the field. He is gonna have to sell recruits on a vision bc the on the field product is not it. I praised him in the off-season and still think he can be successful with how he builds programs but I am just numb by the ineptitude of what we are putting on the field 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamp Eagle 5,156 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Some of you really can’t see the talent deficit on the field? You don’t see the slow-footedness of our guys vs the opponents? Why do you think we beat the UMASS’s and the Samford’s as bad as we did, yet we look like UMASS and Samford vs SEC opponents? The coaching and planning hasn’t looked great, I’ll give you that, but you can’t make chicken salad out of chicken s***. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auburnatl1 5,253 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I’m a moron. I just assumed we’d do something different tonight. Adjust. Commit to RA and the rpo or commit to PT and try to force the ball down field with play action. Even if it failed, try something different and commit to it. We already know the qb swap/chaos thing is a repeatedly, proven failure. It didn’t even occur to me we’d go Groundhog Day on steroids. Ill be shocked on what I just saw for days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArgoEagle 1,831 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) I think Thorne should be QB going forward. Call quick hitter pass plays like slants and sit down routes and mix in a wheel route & deep route once in a while. It appears to me that our biggest problem is our WR corp just can't get separation & when the play caller calls a pass play that takes more than 3 seconds to run the route, then Thorne tends to hold the ball too long. You can't pinpoint our passing woes to one area. Edited October 22, 2023 by ArgoEagle 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swamp Eagle 5,156 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I’m not sure why some think we suddenly became a s***ty football program. We haven’t been relevant for many years. Auburn struggles running a football program, and it’s going to be a miracle if we pull out of this multi-year lull. Welcome to the 70’s, my good Auburn brethren…we’re back!

And HF has a portal OL that "was" supposed to be way better than ours a year ago. Brought in Thorne and Ashford and plays qb roulette as the worst possible moments. One of the top TE's in the portal plus having other seasoned guys at the position. I'm sorry but I think u can squeeze more out of this O than is being done now. Idk if it's bc HF is out recruiting so much or what it is. But whatever it is, is affecting the on the field product. I'm not saying he can't or won't be successful but I am in the discouraged and disappointed camp so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUx 3,016 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Remember, 'we didn't expect to win this one.' So ... it doesn't count as a loss, like ATM and uGA. So, there's that. So, nothing to see here. Tune back in sometime around 2025 or 2026. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't pinpoint our passing woes to one area. Coaching is pathetic. We are beyond predictable because we can't block on obvious passing downs, yet we refuse to flare RB's out of the backfield, or release them on shallow crossing routes. God forbid we run an actual screen pass when the defense is selling out rushing the passer. We don't even attempt to throw the ball between the hashes. There's a reason every time we throw a deep ball that it's double, or triple covered, and it ain't the QB's fault. If Freeze is adamant he is going to turn the offense over to an OC, or play caller he better be shopping for him a new one quick. One more season of this crap, and he'll be on vacation with Harsin. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or am I imagining that? We got a little better on OL, got Fairweather, and none of the other pieces have turned out. The WRs give our QBs zero help either in fighting for 50/50 balls, getting separation consistently, or even just catching balls that hit them in the hands. And neither QB consistently makes the correct reads. Just lots of whiffs on that side of the ball that admittedly I didn't see coming. Guys like Shorter, Mardner, Hooks and such ought to be better but they aren't. Thorne should be better but he isn't. Robby still can't hit water from the beach. I don't know what to tell you but on paper, these transfer guys should be better than they are. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on this also, but on the flip side I think there have been several bad coaching calls that don't do the staff any favors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
