Tank had 66 YAC on Saturday.
His final stat line: 19 rushes...44 yards.
-
hard to get ones head wrapped around that stat line.

Ball is snapped at the 20 yard line.
Tank is hit at the 18 and falls forward to the 20.
He has 2 YAC and 0 yds rushing.
Sorry...I think you meant the paltry production on nearly 20 carries. Agreed. Astounding.

i was told there would be no math.
none of this should be a shock to anyone. the first game proved to all what we've known for a long time.
it'll only get worse as we play better teams.
did i tell anyone i celebrated with a $50 bottle of champagne and a $2.50 bag of chips?

Correct...it's hard to digest how it can happen. IT = all of that in the stat you posted. Takes a ton of "bad".
Tank should have left. I feel bad for him. We've let him go to waste.

I feel bad for the kid, but he saw this team and staff up close and personal and bought in. Hell, his was part of the base of my own optimism for this season.
-
I'm not too worried where Tank is concerned. NFL scouts know if a guy can ball, regardless of his production, or lack thereof in college. I can name quite a few guys that have/had nice careers in the league despite a dumbass, armchair QB like myself thinking there's no way that guy has a chance. Start with Neiko Torched. Brandon King? Hell, he barely played at Auburn.
Remember an offensive lineman who transferred in from cough cough....UMass in 2019? Jack Driscoll, ladies and gentlemen. He's still with the Philadelphia Eagles. He started last year. Don't know if he's still a starter this year.
King "Turnstile Dunlap?

Speaking of O-linemen, Tate Johnson is out 6-8 weeks. Will have surgery on his elbow he injured in Saturday's game.
Anybody seen Nick Brahms? Did something happen to him?
Tee Jay will practice this week, but like Gus always said, "We'll know more by the end of the week."

If something happened to him, that news flew right over my head.

I just figured his status was up in the air.

You are seriously asking if he’s serious?
Seriously? Yes he’s serious. He doesn’t have a fucking clue. He still thinks Ben Tamburello is on the 3 deep.

More statistical salt in the OL wound: 42.2% of AU's run plays went for 0 or fewer yards.

King "Turnstile Dunlap?
From the Nelson club level Oct 2006 Arky game, I saw the Arky defense throw him around like a rag doll.
Auburn ranked 2nd in the nation, played they were scared. 1st game I left ever left early, 2012 A&M game the other one.

Not sure how we got them, my dad at the time knew people still in Opelika. They were super keen, the game was not.

I guess yesterday's game pretty much answer that question.

It actually graded out decently. Their best game this year. I'd certainly blame coaching, decisions and scheme more than the OL.

I'm not even sure you can blame scheme. I thought the gameplan (on offense especially) was about as good as it could be. Stupid decisions like using your timeouts before the half when LSU was content to run out the clock and allowing their second TD and like going for it on 4th and 10 with the lead should get like 85% of the blame.

That's an easy decision unless your FG kicker has already missed a chip shot. He should have tried to freshman. Legafraud is not getting it done.

Seems to be a recurring theme with this coaching staff.
-
I thought there were times when the O-line looked pretty damn good in the run game. There were several times they were pushing guys downfield 4-5 yards.
As much as Halpinz said they were committed to the run this year, wouldn't it make sense with an athlete like Askfurd to work in a lot more option? The couple of times he did run a bit of an option play, it was successful. I know one run where he kept it went for big yardage.
-

This is true. Btu then they would bring an extra guy into the box and stuff the run at the line. WE don;t have the line to handle an extra guy. And any coach will tell you, if you don't have a superior line, when they drop 8 in the box, you throw over them. But we don't seem to have the TE plays to quick pass and back them off. If I were a TE at AU, I'd be out of there.

The TE's had 4 catches for 77 yards Saturday. I think it was Fromm who dropped one pass, and there was another pass that was intended for John Michael Samuel David Thomas Lenny Shenker on a blitz. Unfortunately, Askfurd couldn't get it over the guy coming up the middle. Would have been a nice play, and good read by Ashford and Shenker.
But overall, using the TE more would only help all other aspects of the offense. in 5 games, the TE room has 17 total receptions. Get it to them 6-7 times a game, and you open so much more, and cut down on some of the blitzing.

Correct....another bad decision. Not sure how much potato boy has to see to make adjustments or changes.
-
Speaking of adjustments, just read of some changes in personnel. A lot of it the way we wound up by the end of the LSU game. With Eku out, they'll go with a 4 man front, with just one edge rusher. Marcus Bragg, who I thought played well, will be the back up to Colby Wooden.
On offense, Council will be at center, (Did something happen to Brahms?) with Stutts at left guard and Alec Jackson at right guard. Either Keiondre Jones is nicked up, or they've determined there is just too much suckage in his play. He was the full time starter at guard last year.

That was my point. If you consistently throw to the TE, the LBs won’t just pin their ears back. However, the long pass to Fromm should be a one off. The TEs should be all up in the LBs area catching short passes. Keeping them honest.

Agreed, but if you are afraid to use the freshman there even...just take a delay and punt it inside the 20. Why give them momentum after a turnover on downs?

After seeing this from Saturday, I'm less inclined to shit on the offensive line. It might be decent, but we will never, ever know.
Scenario:
Georgia rushing four. AU has six men in the box and Bigsby in the backfield.
One of the UGA defenders backs out and does nothing so in reality, the Bulldogs only send three against a six-man front with a RB adding reinforcement. Should be an easy win for the AU offensive line. But WAIT.... there's more.
Bigsby, Deal and Zierer all converge on the same guy on the left. Three on one! Amazing.
Troxell clears his guy on the right solo. Ok,with two accounted for so that still leaves three guys to handle one. Numbers favor AU.
But WAIT! There's more.
Council, Jackson and Stutts all stand up and look around. Jackson steps left - into Council - leaving a 42-foot wide gap for a free UGA rusher to beeline for the QB. Council sees it after the fact and sort of lunges at the back of the defender, a futile effort as the play is already blown up.
Less than two seconds after the snap, Ashford is scrambling. He's barely got the ball in his hands before a lineman is in his face. Three against seven and UGA wins easily.
That's not a talent issue. It's not an effort issue. It's not being coached properly. It's as bad as anything I've ever seen.

Let me start the piling on. I’m actually looking forward to Tee Jay coming back, if in fact, he does. Assford is epically bad. Beyond belief bad. I believe it was Rick Neuheisel doing color for the game. Doesn’t matter if you like him or not as a commentator. He was spot on, and being very nice about it. 95% of Ashford’s throws were 95 m.p.h. fast balls, and way off target as well. And I totally understand that he was getting pressure all day. But sometimes, you have to step up in the pocket, or side step a rusher. Nope, he took off like a scared rabbit, straight for the sidelines every time. And guess what? With all that pressure, he wasn’t sacked one time, Saturday. Not that I want him to get sacked, but occasionally you have to stand in and try and deliver the ball. The guy was 13-38. That’s 34%. For the season, he’s 59-123. Even though I was told there would be no math, that’s under 50%. Even Fetal Mosely was over 62% for his illustrious career.
In fairness to the staff, I thought the play calling was pretty decent overall. I thought they had a good mixture of runs, short passes and some deep patterns thrown in. But when your QB can’t even hold on to the ball when he’s not even touched….when he can’t hit a wide open receiver 10 yards in front of him….when he immediately bails at the first hint of pressure….you have no chance. I know we have no other options right now. Two injured QB’s and a true freshman that’s obviously nowhere near ready to play. But damn, Ashford is as bad as anything I’ve seen on the field for Auburn. I hope the light comes on for the kid. I hope the game slows down for him. But right now…..yeeeeeeesh!

Fuck the staff and any fairness towards them. We were holding our own, playing field position...and they called a FUCKING FAKE PUNT FROM OUR OWN 34?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!?!

Okay, so there WAS that.
That just further solidified the fact that he knows he's gone. The going for it last week on both 4th and 10, and 4th and 15, along with Saturday's fake punt, was Havrinz' big, "Fuck you, I'ma do what I want."
The question is, why isn't he gone yet?

Before any of those, going for a 4th and 2 against Mizzou instead of kicking the field goal...then giving the ball to the back that's 10 FUCKING YARDS behind the line only to lose a yard did it for me.

Yeah, but before that, his decision to go for it in his own territory against South Carolina, and take Tank out of the game. So he did it for me long before he did it for you. Don't try and one up me.

Yeah, but before that when he decided on potato pancakes for breakfast when he could have just had that Chick-Fil-A biscuit. That's when I knew for sure he wasn't the guy. GH can attest.
