A big win against Kentucky? Doesn't sound right in foosball but it is what it is. It would be a big win for us right now. On the road, Thur night ESPN game, first conference win....yadda, yadda.
But more importantly, it could be the reset button. I really think it could be a turning point....IF we come out and play like we expected on offense. I expect JJ to start. Regardless, the IF is big. Doesn't matter who starts, we got to score points.
So, imo, we'll know in the first half what to expect the rest of the season. If we come out on fire and look improved on both sides, we can beat anyone left on the schedule. Tall order but possible.
If we stalemate with an improved Ky team and maybe have to eek out a win--a bowl game is the best we can hope for. Meaning, not much hope of wins against our biggest rivals.
I think we're finally going to get some pass rush tonight with the two freshmen in at DT rotation and Cass at DE. If we get that going, it'll help our d out a lot. Run stop is a bigger problem but I like the tinkering Muschamp is doing. I'm not his biggest fan but I admire the way he isn't afraid to try things instead of just keeping the same guys in there the whole season. Honestly, like many I've been a little
http://www.tigersx.com/forum/Smileys/default/tubs_facepalm.png about everything.
I'm looking for positives tonight. If we win convincingly, I'll be reenergized.

We're still shitty.
But in all srsness. They've had almost 2 weeks to get healthy, kick a starter off and get some things worked out. I just want to see some fire. I want to see some things that tell me they understand it's now or never. The schedule is brutal from here on out.
-
I just watch to see what happens next.
And beer.

This is where I am at. Yes, I would like to see AU come out with a +14 win at least but the score is not so much important to me as seeing some damn fire from the players. I would love to see a defensive unit that is pissed the hell off and bringing the pain to the Mildcats. I would love to also see an AU offense rolling like a smooth oiled machine relentless.

Same team, same coaching staff= same results. (hope I am wrong.)
I am playing golf till dark so most likely catch the second half.
-
I want to see if Duke was really the cancer that was keeping this team from developing any kind of chemistry. This morning on the OD, they were asking who is going to step up now that Duke is gone. Is it really that much to ask of somebody to half ass it on the field and miss important blocks? Hell I can step up to those lofty expectations.

We threw ten passes the last game. Its not like there is a lot of stepping up to do.

That's a very good point. I think Gus should play "It's Now or Never" continuously for the team up until kickoff. The Elvis version will get our boys pumped up.
And then, right before we go out onto the field, blast a little "Danke Schoen" by Wayne Newton and they'll be ready to eat some Wildcat stew! War Eagle guys!!

Worst things could happen, like losing bad to Kentucky.
-
I think we lose. In fact, I'm almost certain of it.
Kentucky may still be Kentucky, but if they want to climb out of that label of being just a basketball school, they have to win tonight. The SEC East is wide open after Grier's suspension. I think Florida loses to LSU and a loss to Georgia is a real possibility. With Georgia being down and Tennessee still being down, Kentucky has the opportunity to play for the SECCG. They can really kickstart that journey with a victory tonight against Auburn.
Auburn is playing for what? To see if they've found a starting quarterback for the season? To see if the defense can stop teams from converting every 3rd down? To improve on our 208 rushing yards given up per game?
Kentucky may be as much of a shit football team as Auburn, but they have a whole lot more to play for tonight. I'm not going to be surprised if that stadium is hyped and the Wildcats come out swinging early against us.
-
This staff has had almost 2 weeks to get this team energized and pointed in a different direction. I'm interested to see what kind of job they've done.
-
FWIW - Lawson is listed on the injury report as "Out". Not sure how much that means, or if you can actually say that and then play him, but they are "saying" he is not playing.

I still look for junior Jeremy Johnson, the starter in the first three games, to get the start.
So not definitive, but it's enough to scare me.

Honoring the Ol Ball Coach

So just got home. we miss a wide open receiver to end the half and give up a long drive to start the second half. Anything else? And it looks like the same play calling? Nice 3 and out.

Looks like Kentucky is doing a 7 on 7 camp with our secondary

Well. Damn.
Third and 5 coach. What do you wanna run? One receiver route and run it deep. Hail Mary deep. They won't be expecting that.

Auburn did it!!!!! Auburn just beat Kentucky, in football!!!!! Pop the corks, it's time to celebrate....next stop, the National Championship BABY!!!!!

Not that we're going to sniff a NC, but the second greatest player in the history of Auburn football -- and perhaps the prettiest -- had to engineer a 19-play 86-yard drive that ended in a field goal on the last play of the game to pick up a three-point win on a Saturday night in Kentucky.
The first several drives of the first half looked like what I thought we'd see from the first game of the season. Moved the ball well, played with confidence, spread it out all over the field.
Then Malzahn went into hibernation again. I don't understand that. I remember the Tuberville days when he'd get a touchdown lead and go into the Tubershell. Won a lot of games that way, didn't really impress anybody, but had the defense to do it. We don't have the defense yet to pull the Tubershell move. I understand that he's coaching in fear right now. That's why we hand off 94 times and pass once against San Jose State. The problem with that is that we win, but we don't get any better. In the first half we looked like we could skull fuck Kentucky. But we settled for field goals in the second quarter, took a 23-10 lead instead of a 31-10 lead and then played like we were afraid to lose most of the second half.
I honestly think if we'd scored a TD on that third series to go up 21-7 the game would have changed. We'd have turned on the jets. Instead we started to doubt ourselves -- players to coaches -- and got what we got.
We were fun to watch again in the first half before we started kicking fucking field goals.
That team would have beaten Mississippi State, though.

Agree.
We still got issues....especially in the middle of the Defense. And like you said, with inconsistent playcalling - but that first half we saw what the potential is. Just need that full time. And no, this is not a Kentucky team from yesteryear that goes 3-8. Stoops has some players. Their MLB, and WRs are on point. They have a solid passer and a solid RB. They have good coaches. This team lost to Florida in a very tight one. The same Florida that is killing everyone else (although they may not now without their roid QB). Stoops and his boys came to play, and we still could have made it a route if the whole game was played like the 1st half. I liked what I saw in general which was improvement. Not everything is on a stat sheet. I like DB's jumping routes and getting aggressive with INT opportunities. But the swiss cheese D over the middle has to get fixed. A better pass rush (aside from the end) has to happen. Sean White is a fucking baller.
I'll take it. Kentucky will go to a bowl. They'll beat a few more teams. Stoops has them in the right direction. There are actually NFL players on that field for them, so yeah - I'll take it.
-
Definite improvement. Still a lot to improve. White looked really good and more like what we thought he could be. I knew he had a cannon but he showed off his accuracy last night. It looks like we may be able to work some back shoulder stuff in with him.
D still looked bad in stretches but at least we had SOME stops and a takeaway. Put them in several long 3rds but rarely capitalized.
Nice to get an SEC win. I still believe we going bowling baby! Look out B'ham, we coming!
Miss the weedwhacker bowl. Shreveport is beautiful that time of year.
-
Both lines got pushed around. A lot. By Kentucky.
Other than that, it was not a bad performance overall. I just want to see White finally throw a TD pass to help with his confidence.

I disagree with the OLine getting pushed. I thought they played their best game, Sean had a lot of time back there to throw.

I should have been more specific. Run blocking was not good. As tough as Babar is running the ball, he never found any room whatsoever in the middle. They did really pass block well.

There was a few times that we got decent push and opened up a hole or two. If Barber had made a cut he could have reeled of a couple of runs for big yardage.

So, anyone else thinking that Auburn can pull the upset or is Arkansas' power run game a bit to much for our front seven? l do believe we'll see that elusive passing TD by Sean White Saturday. IMO, this team looks different than they did a few weeks ago against MSU, did Duke's negativity and rift that he and Jeremy Johnson had have that much affect on the whole team? Because even though we lost against MSU, with White at QB it looked like the team was playing somewhat better. Then the following week, against a San Jose a team that would've beaten us with the way things were looking, Auburn looked a little better and came away with a W. The Kentucky win was big, not kidding, I had Auburn losing that one even after seeing them get a little bit better the weeks before. I'm starting to think Gus took over play calling in the first half, then handed the duties over to Lashlee in the second half...whatever it was, the first half team can beat a few more teams on the schedule aside from Idaho. I'm calling for the upset this weekend, Auburn wins by 10.

Ive "heard" from a few folks, that much of the coaching staff does not like Lashlee and that he walks around like an arrogant shithead. TIFWIW. And weve seen in his interviews how delusional he's been about Jeremy.
And yes, I think you are right. If you watch the sideline, there is a clear contrast in plays being called. Gus was heavily involved in the first half. Words coming out of his mouth while looking at the QB, doing the crazy rituals and hand signals, the hurryup thing he does with his hands....just real animated. I noticed it was more Lashlee doing that in the second half, and Gus was moreless with arms folded just pacing at times.
If all this is remotely true, than it may be time for Rhett to look for a new job and for Gus to go all Spurrier and Saban in calling his side of the ball's plays full time.

Agree. There appears to be a definitive difference in the play calling and I think the two halves of the ky game were a prime example. A book full of plays is not as important as knowing when and where to call them.
I hadn't heard what GH said about Lash but it doesn't surprise me. I actually expected some of that when DC came on as co-OC.
Gus needs to take the reins on calling plays and hand off some other duties. If the underlings can't handle those other duties, then find someone who can. Calling plays is what he has typically done best, imo.
I'm going with a win but I don't like our chances of slowing them down much. We'll have to get some turnovers/stops on defense and they appear to be LSUesque, so that's a tough one. We aren't physical enough on D to be able to slow them down but hopefully we attack enough to get a few stops and turnovers. That's more important right now.
I don't see us winning by 10 if we do get one. Any mistakes we make on O are more costly, since we won't likely be able to stop them from making long, clock grinding drives. So, no turnovers on O is crucial. And scoring about 40 points.
Every game is big but in order to enhance our bowl game chances-- HUGE.
-

I had mentioned this in some other thread around here. While I do think Gus likes Lashlee a lot and the young buck has been with Gus for a damn long time. I am betting Lashlee finds an OC on some lower tier college or even a HS head coaching job for next season. I dont think Gus would let this happen in a negative light neither.
-
I'm not saying anyone is wrong or right. I do find it curious that when we are underperforming rumors suddenly come out about a coach that were never there before.
and if Lashlee is walking around with an air of superiority it is probably due to his wife. seriously...#laylakiffinwho.
I don't think it's Lashlee's fault.

TRob's boys are showing some improvement.
And White and the offense will get better with more short/intermediate secondary options to the deep ball and less slow developing runs that put us in 2nd/3rd and long situations. Moves the chains-helps the defense stay off the field longer.
