Get over last week. It's done. It's in the books.
We owe these pederasts a drubbing and they'll have to take it under the unrelenting 2:30 CBS solar blast. Yes, Auburn has underperformed against lesser competition while it shakes out the final starting lineups on both sides of the ball. PSU has handled its business in getting to 2-0, looking especially sharp against the mighty Ohio Bobcats, that's true. And it all amounts to fuck all come Saturday afternoon.
Let's go to the numbers:
PSU is scoring more (40.5 v 33) per game, but our Tigers are allowing fewer (16 v 20.5) points per game.
PSU has played Purdue (1-1, whipped Indiana St) and Ohio (1-1, FAU), so they are a bit more battled tested from a competitive standpoint. That said, both teams should fare well easily against 3/4 of those teams, and the real edge comes from opening with a conference opponent and building confidence with a win.
Auburn has a couple of wins which, while not necessarily confidence building from a fan perspective, have given some new guys valuable in-game experience and begun to build confidence in themselves and their teammates. There is talent and depth aplenty to stymie Franklin's offense. The question will be can the QBs/WRs/TEs (looking at you JSS!) take the heat off Tank/JH and get chunk yardage?
As long as the Tigers don't come out and trip over their own dicks and dig an early hole, I like us to win 24-10.
I will be in the stands, screaming my ass off because if you can't appreciate the opportunity to host a B1G team and jam a boot in their ass, then you are dead inside and I pity you.

Agree in that beating psu would be the most auburn thing ever to do. The science says no shot in hell.
Good news is that auburn seems to defy science and logic.

orange and blue glasses. marijuana.
i appreciate your inner Terry Bowden.
if anything, Auburn will be tripping over is QB1. we have no answer. what's our stats on running n to s? it surely felt the O-line could not get a push and open the gaps to inferior teams.
definably a benchmark on whether we go 4-8 or 8-4 for the season.

Here's the thing. Winning Saturday isn't out of the realm of possibility. I'll be happy if we do win and don't look like toasted gerbil while doing it.
But what doesn't matter fuck-all is a win against Penn State this week. It might look good for a day or two, but it's like a very sick person having a moment of clarity just before they succumb to whatever illness plagues them.
-- Beating Penn State won't do fuck-all to bolster the offensive line now or in the future.
-- Beating Penn State won't do fuck-all to resurrect a running game that has been largely absent for several years. We cannot run the ball. We can't convert short third downs. We get no push.
-- Beating Penn State won't do fuck-all to a recruiting class that is likely unsalvageable at this point and has us behind every SEC team not named Vanderbilt. That's the apocalypse.
-- Beating Penn State won't do fuck-all to deliver a team that's consistently prepared to play. Georgia State. San Jose State. Collapses all over the place. Mental breakdowns. Shockingly inept fundamentals.
-- Beating Penn State won't do fuck-all to solve the problem of fit. Hollyworm Harber might fit himself, but his family is a horrendous fit for Auburn and they're running his show. That's not fixable. Ever.
If we beat Penn State, ooh-rah. I'll be happy for a brief interlude. The bleeding has stopped. But the bullet's still inside, the organs are shredded and the bowel is perforated. It's only a matter of time.
Wes looks at this team and sees talent and depth aplenty? I see neither. That's only going to get worse.

Tee Jay looked like garbage against Mercer. Assfurd came in and provided a nice, dual threat spark. I was hoping, in a realistic sense, that if Ashford could be a somewhat consistent passer, not turning it over, he could be the answer to getting that 8-4 season that I think most fans would be happy with. Especially given that every expert/analyst on the planet has us picked barely above Vandy in the SEC.
Then, both of them came out this past Saturday, and threw perfect, tight spirals, hitting SJS defenders in the numbers. Ashford threw two other passes, one of which was wild and too high on a roll out, after he wound up like Nolan Ryan. There's a reason he hasn't won this job. After the interception, Finley, to his credit, looked pretty sharp the rest of the way. He was accurate and on time, for the most part. He's still a 6'7" statue.
I'm afraid the old saying of, "If you're playing two QB's, you don't have one" may be what we're faced with.
Defensively, I thought they played well overall. I was a little concerned they failed to make any adjustments to what it seemed clear SJS was doing. Their QB was sacked 7 times in the first game. It was obvious they were going to get the ball out of his hands quickly. They must have run 10 of those quick slants, or skinny posts. Otherwise, holding any team to 16 points and less than 330 yards in this day and age of wide open, spread offenses, is something I'll take every week.

Run D? Great....They are good at sealing the edge and clogging up lanes.
Pass D? Much disappoint. They do not pressure the QB much.
I have heard all off season that Simpson, Pritchett and especially Kaufman were going to be all world Roger McCreary they are NOT.

The coaches were also monkeying around with different lineups. There was a lot of movement between Kaufmann, Puckett and Scott. Until they settle on a lineup, there will be some mistakes.
As to Snag's QB ramblings...the coaches made a statement of sort by naming TJ QB1...with no "or" for Ashford at QB2.

I know this sounds like a an excuse, and Lord knows, there's nothing that sounds worse than making excuses for a bad performance against someone like San Jose State. But one of the reasons, outside the 2 picks, for such a crappy first half, was penalties. We had 9 penalties for 85 yards, most of those coming in the first half. John Samuel Michael David Shenker had 3 in the first quarter.
Once we got it going a little, the rushing attack was pretty stout. They started opening up some nice holes, and we wound up with 5.6 yards per rush. That's not bad. I thought Jar-Kwez ran hard, and Damari Alston looks like he's got a nice career ahead of him.
Anywayz, they'd better clean up the penalties. If they have 9 this Saturday, it might get ugly.

Hope I’m wrong.
But I’m telling you right now once again. This is the worst I’ve ever seen recruiting. I’ve been alive for eight different Auburn coaches. Each had their own way, but all of them before now knew how to sell Auburn. They understood what makes Auburn special and how to get recruits to understand. This. Guy. Does. Not.
He rolled in here with his Hollyweird Housewife, his leather clad Mormonbama Shore daughters looking more like a shitty OWN reality show than the first family of Auburn football. He did not, has not and from what I hear still doesn’t put the recruiting groundwork.
This is the worst shape recruiting has been in since I’ve been alive. I don’t think you can go back to even before Shug — 70 years — and find anything nearly as dismal. A win Saturday will not change that.
And this bubble head has the arrogance to say “Watch.”
*sigh*

I would like to beat those yankee bastards purely over their crass attitude and articles like the one below. I actually feel bad for them being that stupid writing that piece of garbage. Sounds like two freshmen interns wrote it for the school paper.
Read it and cringe.

- Auburn’s offense isn’t good and shouldn’t give Penn State much trouble Saturday afternoon - this is the kind of statement that bites you in the ass usually, because - karma.
- Finley is a threat to run the ball - huh?
- That could leave Bigsby and Ashford with more space to make things happen with their contrasting running styles.- his name is Jarquez Hunter not Ashford. Ashford is TJ's backup, remember?
- The Nittany Lions will be able to win this game with relative ease - sigh...and yes there is context there but never ever say that about any sec road game under any pretenses...DUMB
- Harris brought down runners in the backfield three times last weekend - OMG, like for real bro, like....3 times???
- Penn State’s offensive line and running backs may have an answer to the behemoth Auburn defensive line - why, thank you KYLE, and you too Mr. Sauber. We like to think our behemoth line is among the best.Were glad you noticed.
- Redshirt sophomore left tackle Olu Fashanu and redshirt freshman left guard Landon Tengwall have blown teams away with their power blocking - good life advice: find someone who blows you away, the way that 2 Penn state linemen blow away entire teams with their sweet power blocking - and you'll always be happy.

If the FSU game goes to shit tonight, I'll have to spend an hour and see what these guys wrote before the Outback bowl, I'm betting it will be entertaining.

I bet their left tackle, like, power blocked your entire team….bro.

I'd rather watch Robocop 3 on a loop while having my balls serviced by a swarm of yellow jackets than see another down of this team coached by this staff.
Nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Nebraska did it. Arizona State did it. Why not?
An interim AD is not going to mash the launch in orbit button or is it a test for him?
All around it was a disappointment. Lines on both sides of the ball struggled. No push, no penetration, no sacks.
Penn State is a good football team but that’s a mid tier SEC program that we faced.
Beat Mizzou!

That's at the heart of it all, especially on the offensive side of the ball. I'm actually not as worried about the run blocking as I am what was happening on just about every single pass play. I believe it was 98' when FUGA came to town and just beat the hell out of Gabe Gross. That's what Saturday reminded me of. Haven't seen an Auburn O-line look like that since. It was a mad rush to the QB on every snap.
Just an observation from the cheap seats that caused me to leave at the start of the 4th quarter. When we got the ball to start the 2nd half, and went backwards 8 yards, it's like all the air went out the stadium and this team. By the end of the 3rd, the D had all but quit. Derick Hall wasn't even lining up. He was walking up to the line and standing straight up. It was time to go.

You should have stayed. We finally threw the ball to a TE with about 1:40 left in the game. It was GLORIOUS!

Not sure what anyone else needs to see from this fraud.
I guess he will do some more photo op bicep curls in his garage - #mycoach - or maybe one of the women in his family can engage in more schizo instabattles on social media with fans and make up more stories that didnt happen, in pleather pants.
Gus had gotten bad. He needed to go. But he was replaced with someone so much worse. I never questioned Gus as a person. He lived the culture and recruited fairly well most of his tenure overall. The last 2-3 years he did not recruit for need. But I never questioned his integrity. Hes just a goofy goober who was paranoid, burnt out here, and done at Auburn, which is a meat grinder of a job if we want to be honest.
With Harsin - I liked the hire at first, because I only looked at the wins and losses at boise without doing any research and looking at any context. I wish I had. I wish Allen Greene had. Boise folks had these same complaints about these same red flags. They warned us. His shit didnt even work at Boise - they got progressively worse at the LOS as he was there.
Sooner this is over, the sooner Roberts can get the PTB on the same page (and yes, he can), the sooner we can replace this charlatan with a legit coach.
A few HS coaches I know in state that are very well respected sent me some analysis on what they saw in game Saturday. It was highly disturbing on the coaching/adjustments side. Like, some of the worst stuff they've seen in a long time. I sent it to a few on here. It reads like a Halloween horror story.

With you dude but I'm holding out hope that Chris Roberts ushers in a new era here. Remember - Harsin is the last domino standing from the Leath fiasco. More unknown types on our BoT caused much of that not the typical big money boogeymen. I think Roberts is the type that can get people on the same page.

The last 2-3 years he did not recruit for need. But I never questioned his integrity. Hes just a goofy goober who was paranoid, burnt out here, and done at Auburn, which is a meat grinder of a job if we want to be honest. Something happened to Gus at the A&M game in 2014. He was never the same after that. Coach Klein syndrome.

Boise folks had these same complaints about these same red flags. They warned us. His shit didnt even work at Boise - they got progressively worse at the LOS as he was there. Man, I wanted this to work! I wanted it to work so bad because he was an outsider and not one of the good ole boys! He didn't have any connections and I thought that was a good thing. Silly me.
Sooner this is over, the sooner Roberts can get the PTB on the same page (and yes, he can), the sooner we can replace this charlatan with a legit coach. I just don't know who we would go after at this point. Kiffen, Aranda, Stoops of the wildcat variety, Whittingham, Day? Are we willing to pay top dollar with a new Pres and AD to get who we want?

Like, some of the worst stuff they've seen in a long time. I sent it to a few on here. It reads like a Halloween horror story. Yeah, I read some comments by some HS coaches that weren't good. Harborlights still hasn't made it to some of the high schools for recruiting. Still letting his staff do most of it. Also read where a HS coach was talking about the exact thing you touched on. We don't make adjustments, there is no urgency and no fire from the HC. That is not good. It's ok to not be Muschamp, but you don't want a statue either.

Tossed out(in the Trash) my Auburn football wearing stuff, Took Auburn off the DVR player to record anything. Put my Auburn golf shirts in a box. Tired of folks looking at me like it is a special needs school.
Awaiting B-Ball. Be nice to see some actual coaching with emotion.
I am beginning hate Auburn Football now as much as yawl hate me.
