This could be a game changer for us!!!

I certainly hope so
It's a shame that we are young on defense. I know the corches are busting ass. This seems to be a rebuilding year
Or was that last year?

We've been young since Tuberville's first year.

Malzahn expected Mathews and Lawson to play last Saturday as well. Gus is the king of coach speak and he never lets anyone know what's actually going on.
I'll believe that those guys are returning when they actually play a snap.

Matthews and Lawson gonna stop JJ from doing dumb shit?

If they do to him what Mike Pelton, Alonzo Etheridge, Willie Whitehead, and Gary Walker did to Pat Nix after the 1994 LSU game, then maybe.

Alright god dammit, no more mourning!
It's a new week! We are gonna beat LSU this weekend in the final quarter. Defense does well enough to hold Fournette. JJ does his schizo thing but gets us in the endzone with 1:25 left on the clock, Lawson sacks LSU QB on final drive.....ballgame we win by 4.
Done and Done!

We will win Saturday night and many more thereafter if JJ stays away from the center of the field. Deep and shallow are fine, just not the middle.

At least 2 of his interceptions were near the sideline, 10-15 yards out.

Yeah, but he meant REALLY close to the sideline. And 9-14 yards out.

Quick hits: Auburn's Gus Malzahn updates injuries, previews LSU
September 15, 2015 at 11:38 AM
Just four days remain until Auburn's SEC opener at LSU.
At approximately 11:15 a.m., Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn will address the media to discuss the big game. We will provide live updates in the space below, so refresh this page for the latest information.
GUS MALZAHN
* Malzahn calls LSU a "very tough opponent... That's a tough place to play." Praises LSU's physcality, speed and running game.
* Josh Holsey is out for the year with a torn ACL. All other injuries are "day to day."
* Malzahn says the team has to "find a way to overcome" all the injuries. "We're going to be counting on some young guys. The positive of that is you have a chance to grow and get better."
* Injury has been "tough" on Holsey. "He's struggling right now." Malzahn does not believe Holsey is one of the players who has loss of value insurance.
* Auburn had a good practice on Sunday. "You turn on the film against LSU and they'll get your attention in a hurry."
* In terms of confidence, Malzahn says the team knows it didn't play its best but plans to play a lot better.
* Malzahn continues to show confidence in quarterback Jeremy Johnson despite his five interceptions.
* Malzahn is "still learning" about the identity of the team. Would like to see more "explosive plays."
* Malzahn is waiting to see if Avery Young can play this week.
* Malzahn says Peyton Barber will start against LSU at running back. Jovon Robinson is questionable to play with his ankle.
* On LSU's Tiger Stadium: "Tough to place to play. They play extremely well at home. Been a while since we've won there at home. We need to protect the football. When you turn the football over, it make it difficult. Defensively we just have to get off the field on third down. We have to play well to win and our guys know that."
* Auburn will use the Wildcat formation this season. Wants to get Jason Smith more involved in the offense.
* On Kerryon Johnson: "He's finally back to being healthy. Getting the rust off. Says fans will see more of him in the future."
* WR Duke Williams has moved back inside in the slot, where he played last season. Needs to know all the positions.
* Malzahn on the defense: "The big focus for us is third downs."
* On LSU quarterback Brandon Harris: "You can tell he's more confident. He was in a very tough spot last year when he started here. He's got a very good arm."
:facepalm:

It's another Xanax game. Lol

You and Snaggles are the only two who didn't already realize this. GF is just going along to get your hopes up. But, to your point, yes.
Pray for a hurricane.

If we continue to run an offense built for Nick Marshall, then Jason Smith sounds just fine to me. No one else on the roster can run it better. Just sayin....

Two or three years ago, I met Jason Smith Sr. at the Winn Dixie getting some fried chickerns, and he said in two or three years Jason Jr. (JJ) would lead us to victory over the corn dogs. True story.
Really though, these young men only have play 20 times as hard as they did against JSU to beat, or skate by, the corn dogs.
Obviously, Jason will be running the ball when he is in the wildcat position (although I would love to see him hit Duke in stride for six). Kind of like the Kodi Burns' daze. Miles will fail to recognize that, resulting clock mismanagement and we kick a field goal to win. Our freaking D slaps on some Hia Karate fifteen minutes before kickoff to WakeTFU. Also, CGM and CWM restrict all liberty until the corn dogs are crying. That is all.

He actually has to play to will us. Gus says JJ is our guy and just the right man to run the Nick Marshall read option offense. #genius

JJ allows them to keep running this gimmicky offense.
-
Can only pray we stay away from read option beyond a few wildcat snaps per game. We do not have a unit up front yet to pull it off. We also lack that first step explosion needed from our QB and/of our backs to make it out bread and butter. #fixitgenius
Best bet is to lean on Barber and throw the kitchen sink at 'em.

I say we surprise them with the wishbone. And orange jerseys.

The read option is fine....if you have a read option QB running it.
Nick Marshall was a straight fucking baller and I feel like I owe the guy an apology after saying stupid shit about his performance last year. Dont know what ya got til its gone. F me, I would take just a 1/2 or 47.45% of a NM right now.

Absolutely and yes he could really run it well.

You jest, but Georgia Tech is one of only 3 teams that have yet to go 3 and out on the season.

The backup is always the best player on the field...and in this case it may be twue!

Sounds like we see Jason Smith some to me and I assume it will be more as a wildcat qb with a very limited package. We've seen it work and not work. Never understood why we would run a wildcat when we had Cam. Just didn't make sense.
The right guy back there as a change of pace for JJ or White can def make a difference.
At this point, I don't care who it is back there. Just give us a different look. Try something. Anything.
I'm one of the ones that thinks it's in JJ's head. My question is, if it's not in his head, how do you explain the interceptions hitting the defenders between the numbers and throw into triple coverage? I don't believe those were mechanics issue.
And if he looked like this vs Louisville and Jax State, what to expect with LSU? I say, short leash. Bring him along slow and maybe it passes. If not, "We want the white boy....We want the white boy!"
-
Agree with you both but it's time for Gus/Rhett to make the repairs with what we have. And if you are going to convert we need a fucking manageable call for the down and distance for JJ or whomever is under center.

I'm in the other camp, still believing he's going to get his shift together. But, I'm also absolutely fine with being ready to go to plan B, which unfortunately, is a white kid that's never taken one snap in a real D1 game.
I guess when I hear that it's "in his head" I think of the Yips. I think of Mackey Sasser, the ex-Mets catcher who suddenly couldn't throw the ball back to the pitcher. Don't think that's the case here and maybe not what you're talking about. The next pass I throw in college will be my first. I certainly don't know squat about what it takes to play the position. My armchair quarterback analysis though, would be what you constantly hear from those that do know. The dreaded, "Speed of the game" problem. You always hear when a QB gets comfortable, that the game slowed down for him. I think that's the case here.
I believe JJ really is very confident in his abilities. He's just got to see it and do it enough times in a real game setting to have it all slow down for him where he can recognize what's going on. Problem is...and I'm right there with everyone else....we don't have much more time let him work through it.

Bo Jackson says you made the cut.
-
In listening to Chris Todd he indicated they do presnap reads-safeties>cover1/2,left side or right side.
Then it's:
option1
option2
But what JJ is missing IMO are the other options which is A, throw it in the stands or B run the motherfucker.
It's really that simple...just have to decide which in a matter of a few seconds.

Obviously, I played at a lot higher level than you but that's not my point.
The fact that I'm 10x the athlete isn't either.
I'm not giving up on JJ. But I do think that it was moving too fast BECAUSE he's feeling more pressure as the man.
He didn't look like this last year vs Arky but I don't recall how many passes he threw in that game.
We all know there's a big difference in being mop up or fill in and the guy responsible. I love JJ's personality more than any recent AU qb. He seems like a great guy and I'm honestly a big fan. So, I'm pulling hard for him to get it worked out. I feel like he will. But if it takes sitting to get him there, then I hope they'll do it.

You have two options, or you can trow it away/run it. OR take sack/make like JFF and hope received comes open.

Lawson twattered "I'll be back".
Could mean he'll be ready Saturday. Could mean some time in November. Could mean he loves Terminator movies.
Trigga Tray says he's ready on the twatterz.
Avery Young is expected to be back. (Although Captain Coachspeak says he's day to day)
Jovon expected to be ready
LSU's All American safety, Jalen Mills, highly doubtful.

Random poster on ITAT said that he saw Lawson downtown without crutches.

Marshall reporting Lawson didn't board the team bus.
Sucks the guy can't stay healthy. One of the best talents in the country and will barely see the field, it seems.
-
Well shit!!!!!
Should have expected it. I was just holding out hope. But the only thing I was thinking Saturday when he walked out on the field using the crutch and limping very noticeably, was no way that guy is ready to play a football game by next week. Looks like troof.

Damn you. Don't get my hopes up again, only to have them ripped away at the last second. I'm gonna' have the blue balls over Lawson. And yes, she gave em' back to me for this weekend...only.

Auburn defensive end Carl Lawson did not travel with the team to LSU.
A source confirms the defensive end/Buck did not travel to Baton Rouge. He was also not spotted during Auburn's pre-game walkthrough Saturday afternoon.

Cue Debbie Downer WAAA WAAAAAA....
Mlazahn's quote on Lawson was "We HOPE he'll be back this season."
Lawson is twatting about God helping him overcome obstacles, no matter how large they are.
Does this guy ever suit up for us again?
