What do you want to see against Miss State

[autiger88 3,777]

Anything that resembles a coach doing his job with not as many boneheaded calls and the team having an offense that is productive even just a little.

Probably not the best place for this post, but it seems that I don't have the ability (understandable) to create a new thread.  I'm coming to Saturday's game with my nephew and his wife.  We're from Iowa and Hawkeye fans (our offense is sooooo bad), but since they don't play any away games that we haven't already visited, we're venturing out to SEC territory, and Auburn is where we selected to go this weekend.

We'll be parking in the Poultry Science Lot and sitting in section 31 at the game.  Looking for any advice on gameday, etc.  How soon do we need to be parked to avoid major traffic tie-ups?  What is traffic like post-game? 

Would appreciate any info that people can provide.  Looking forward to Saturday and a new football experience!  Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum!  Enjoy the game.  I'm an Auburn alum ('94) that now lives in Iowa.  Unfortunately, I haven't been down to Auburn in two decades, so I can't tell you much. Hopefully some other people will reply to you.  Have a great time and if Auburn wins, be sure to head to Toomer's Corner before leaving town.

The football gods have been good to us believe it or not. This is the ultimate "get right" game because MSU is BAD on offense. Like worse than us in some categories.

I'd like to see three things. That's it.

- 50%+ in third down conversions. 3rd down cannot be passing downs all day! Get it 4 yards and under on 4th down and give yourself a chance.

- Respectable Success Rate. Doesn't have to be 50%, just something to keep drives alive and finish them.

- Payton Thorne throw for 100+ yards

MSU has bad pass defense. This is the time to get right in the passing game because Vandy and NMSU are bad against the pass too. Arkansas is kind of solid. I want a W regardless, so if it's rock fight win then whatever, but I want the offense to come alive to build confidence and show recruits that they can move it through the air.

Bulldogs aren't any good and if this Auburn team can get up big early then they will probably quit. WDE.

Tempo on offense, effort on defense, a cohesive offensive game plan and more points on the home side of the scoreboard.

Forward passes. 

[Shoney'sPonyBoy 351]

Signs of improvement.

Just signs?  Not actual improvement?  
 

Just kidding.  I knew what you meant but it made me think of signs of improvement of people coming out of a coma for some reason.  Like when they can blink their eyes to answer questions.

LOL.

At this point I'll take signs and we can work up to actual improvement over a little more time.

A successfully completed slant pattern to a receiver and a throw down the field to any tight end who catches the ball for a first down.

We’ve thrown a slant 4 or 5 times the last 2 games and it always gets a first down.  I’d love to see it thrown early and often and then scheme up a way to open up sideline passes.

[tbone4jc 2,241]

My guess is everyone wants the same things

A VICTORY

A good offensive showing that compliments the defense

I just blinked twice to your comment!!

A WIN! I just want to see a WIN at this point! Just keep it simple, and execute, even if it's the ole wing T or I formation with a little power mixed in. 3 yards and a cloud of dust stuff. I don't care if it's a 3-0, 3-2, just a win at this point! Maybe some old 1972 Terry Henely type O! 

[Hank2020 3,225]

I would like to see more of Thorne and less of RA….

A win….just a win

[AuCivilEng1 11,046]

Win,

150+ yards passing, 200+ yards rushing

1 QB for 90% of the game (Thorne)

minimal injuries 

[Win4AU 4,055]

Based on what the talking heads have been saying all week I’d expect Auburn to try to go fast.  If true I hope they don’t abandon it the first time they go 3 and out.  Wouldn’t it be wild if all the sudden the offense starts putting up decent offensive stats and wins out?  Would a decent offense and Iron Bowl win wash the bad taste out of everyone’s mouth?

[GAAubie 501]

A loss?

 

 

 

No...but saying that I wanted to see a win hasn't worked out well in the last 4 weeks...so hopefully this breaks the jinx!

Yes, it will. If 7-5 Auburn beats Alabama no one will give a damn about the offensive struggles from half the season. Not to mention what it would do for recruiting and the atmosphere in the SEC heading forward.

And 8-4 Auburn with a bowl with to be 9-4 or even if we lose to Bama and win a bowl, 8-5 would be a massive accomplishment and would give us a ton of momentum.

I feel like if this were a route they were going to go, they'd have done it by now. It's been painfully obvious for multiple games. At this point, it's almost like they refuse to do it cause they wouod be admitting they were wrong or something.

What?

It would also be wild if I won the lottery next week.

[HAYinthemiddleoftheBARN 204]

The same dadgum thang we been wanting to see this whole season. An offense that can function. A defense that can cause mal-function.

I’m keeping my eye on you.  In a good way.
