Keihl Frazier will get better, the OL will get better (the jury is still out on Chad Slade), the LB Corp will get better once the DTs get better (notice in the Clemson game) they went to the Pistol Package a majority of the time which caused Auburn to counter with a Nickel Package...Clemson then ran right up the gut while in the Pistol, they let our DEs fly up the field (taking themselves out of position) then the Guard and Center would double the DT on the side that they were running to up to the ONE LBer (the TE would block Bates)...they ran that same smash play over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over...then Tajh Boyd faked the handoff and ran untouched for 20-30 yards...mind you this was all done with a HUNH late into the 4th. Also, the ball was being snapped while Jake was trying to get the Defensive play call from the sidelines.
So, not only were we not in the correct Defense for Clemson's Smash play, we weren't even in the correct position some of the times.
Like I've said before, the best advice I'll give the Chicken Littles of the Auburn fanbase, some reside here, is to wait a few games, before you try to crap on everything. If you Chicken Littles didn't see the improvements from last year that I saw, then I'm not sure anything I say will help you, because your mind has already been made up...ever since Coach Chizik was hired (didn't see the Chicken Littles that much during the 2010 National Championship season)....BTW, Auburn will lose 2 or 3 more games this season.
