Ground game seems to be working. Paly calling seems more than suspect. Go with what is working.

We get the ball to start to second 1/2. A nice 10 play drive I think would put this one away.

I like Barber overall...best of both worlds. Everyone needs to give pause knowing we have two with input on play calling...not just one. Gary easilly points out that Gus attacks the middle. WTF is wrong with the outter quadrants... ie Marcus Davis.

This is not a sprint...more like a chaptered book. We will have our better passing and running games but what matters most is how much our defense progresses and I can tell you now that we will be a contender based on  what I saw from our defense in game one.

Super encouraged.  The D is 10X better than anything since Tuberville.  The offense struggling was a combination of yes...JJ going full tard at times...and yes....Malzahn and Lashlee going super short bus full tard.  Louisville did what they did doing the full-on..we're behind.... garbage, scrambling gotta' make something happen mode.  Straight up....our D was DAMN GOOD!!!!

Give it next week to work out the offensive kinks.  I like what I saw.
Title: Re: Game Thread
Post by: djsimp on September 05, 2015, 08:30:07 PM
Like Snaggle, I like how far our D has come but I am concerned with the Matthew injury. I am a little concerned with the mistakes JJ made but this may have been something needed to bring him off his perch with all the pre-Heisman hype. Barber is a fn beast and to think who all we have in the backfield. Few penalties but they came at the worse times especially on the long TD pass. I will say that frosh at QB for Loserville is pretty damn good and will give lots of teams fits.

Overall, B- for the offense and B+ for the D.

No sir. It matters not to me if Dameyune Craig, Bo Jackson or Cam fucking Newton is the receivers coach/ace recruiter. Teach these kids to work their way open and give their QB an alternative. A double covered Duke Williams is not our only option. Where are the RBs,  the wheel, the tight end, the intermediate routes etc.

Umm, well there we such throws bit JJ was pushing for the big plays. Also, there were such throws as you mentioned which resulted in 1st downs and a called back TD. Matter of fact Ricardo Lewis had more receiving yards if I'm not mistaken.

If criticism is due then no problemo. This wasn't on Craig. I saw Malzahn/Lashlee make two bone headed calls, the OL make one legit bad hold and JJ make four bad throws with three being intercepted. The WRs did their job with the exception of Ray dropping an easy catch.

I can agree that Gus/Lashlee never had us in a sucessful rythym. But each receiver has a responsibility to get open and I don't think Louisville has a top shelf pass defense. The picks are easy to point out. I don't want JJ running.

It always appeared to me that Cam relished running and punishing defenses with that big body.ie. LSU.
I just wanted to see a QB that sprayed it around with a balanced running game and a defense to be proud of.
So my biggest question is what were the other receivers doing on those 12 or so tries in the center of the field?

I just didn't see it being on the WR corps. Don't really see how we can judge them anyway since the camera is usually on the backfield and can't see routes and cuts until after the ball is released.

I thought our WR's have improved under DC but this is just one game. You may be right but JJ still threw into coverage. Even triple coverage. I just think he sucked tonight. Heisman talk, first game, in the dome...it happens.

 Encouraged by the D, yes. But wasn't that a freshman QB? They won the game for us mostly, IMO. Them and the o line and Barber but still. That QB wore asses out. Tackling improved and better effort.

A win is a win. Without Muschamp, we lose by 14.

If we played Bama next week, we lose.

I don't get why we were ranked so high. Top 20 team but I don't see us as 6. Not yet.

Gotta gel. A qb that's 3 steps slower than Nick and 2 steps slower than Cam means he's  Chris Todd with a canon. That's not bad.

A win is a win.

My take:
Jeremy Johnson will learn from his fuck ups...hopefully, he'll learn NOT to chunk it into TRIPLE GOD DAMN, MOTHER FUCKIN', COVERAGE, just sayin'.

Payton Barber is a, like I said two years ago, Ronnie Brown type RB...He can pound the fuck outta the ball.

Jovon looked good in the couple times I saw him (I think he hurt his ankle).

The Defense with Carl Lawson on the field = the '85 Bears' Defense.

Trey Matthews is a fuckin stud, hope he gets back healthy soon.

64 year old Melvin Ray looks a little better.

Duke is a Goddamn Monster.

Running game looks better with Barber in the backfield and Danzey at Left Guard.

If I'm a High School TE prospect, I'm not even thinking about going to Auburn, regardless if they're my favorite school.

Montravious Adams...BEAST

Auburn played 10-12 true freshmen against Louisville, it showed. There will need to be a lot of work done between now and LSU on the passing game and the play calling.

I guess Craig told them they did not have to run those routes!

You act like those routes were called but ignored.


We have an issue here not with players, but play calling. Go watch last years Arky game first half and then we can discuss routes.

We are running the same plays as last season, but without a running QB. Until we flood the middle of the field with passes and concentrate on a short passing game, we'll look like crap. Duke did not run one dig route. That is not a player problem.

Auburn's next offensive series, they run the swing pass...it gets clobbered for a 2 yard loss.

If you mean the extremely ill advised passes into TRIPLE coverage I don't have any screen grabs to show you but the math suggests someone was open.


Now why you gotta come in here talkin yur math?

I can agree that Gus/Lashlee never had us in a sucessful rythym. But each receiver has a responsibility to get open and I don't think Louisville has a top shelf pass defense. The picks are easy to point out. I don't want JJ running.

They had the top Pass D in the country last year (opposing QBR), and the most takeaways. 6th overall D in the country last year. They have 2 ex-UGA players in their secondary. They are a good Defense. Thats not an opinion. Petrino runs their Offense. So Overall, UL is a solid team on both sides of the ball. 1st game of the year, you take that quality win and you learn from it.

Super encouraged.  The D is 10X better than anything since Tuberville.  The offense struggling was a combination of yes...JJ going full tard at times...and yes....Malzahn and Lashlee going super short bus full tard.  Louisville did what they did doing the full-on..we're behind.... garbage, scrambling gotta' make something happen mode.  Straight up....our D was DAMN GOOD!!!!

Give it next week to work out the offensive kinks.  I like what I saw.

My comment comes after watching live.  And short time to post from phone.

Yes early the defense looked greatly improved.  Late they looked like the defense of recent times.  Don't care that it was Petrino.  We got out flanked on the speed sweep and let their QB break contain way too much.  The positive?  They did make SOME plays.  Enough to beat L'ville in game 1.

Offense?  JJ showed flashes of the talent, but more flashes of bad decisions that cost games.  Run game looked solid enough.  OL could wind up being good.  I hope JJs  issues were first game starter issues. 

Special teams good.

Coaching/game management?  Not so good at times.

Not much to be encouraged by means to me - average (C+) start for a team with A expectations and supposedly A talent.  However it was a win vs. a decent opponent on a big 1st game stage which has often been a disaster for AU in the past.  It was not so bad a performance as to make me think this team will grossly underperform but I didn't see a team destined for greatness.  JMHO YMMV

1st games against quality opponents are disasters for many teams. See yesterday for example. Must suck to be a Penn State, Nebraska or Stanford fan right now.

Miss State was underwhelming against Southern Miss. Tenn gave up boatloads to Bowling Green. And poor Washington State losing to an FCS school. Ouch.

1st games are dangerous in general. To get out of Atlanta against a quality team/coach with all the self inflicted wounds we had....yeah, lets take it. But yes, we have some major shit to work on.

The Braden Smith "hold/trip" and sideline warning putting us in 1st and 35 instead of a TD  (that got negated) - was a HUGE turning point.

No.  That was a game tailor made for them to win.

The brand of offensive football the Badgers run will never work a against  their defense.  Can't run into the middle and succeed.  They moved the ball through the air and had open receivers more often than they connected.

Coker was bad under pressure.  Little mobility.  They can't just hand off to that caveman over and over and win consistently.

     I'm not smart enough to know how to do it, but I would really appreciate it if one of you innerweb knower abouters would chop out the video of Petrino when at the end of the game, after calling that last time out, the camera catches him turn around to someone and say "I fucked up".

True. I was just pissed because our passing game was struggling.

I just didn't see it being on the WR corps. Don't really see how we can judge them anyway since the camera is usually on the backfield and can't see routes and cuts until after the ball is released.

I thought our WR's have improved under DC but this is just one game. You may be right but JJ still threw into coverage. Even triple coverage. I just think he sucked tonight. Heisman talk, first game, in the dome...it happens.

 Encouraged by the D, yes. But wasn't that a freshman QB? They won the game for us mostly, IMO. Them and the o line and Barber but still. That QB wore asses out. Tackling improved and better effort.

A win is a win. Without Muschamp, we lose by 14.

If we played Bama next week, we lose.

I don't get why we were ranked so high. Top 20 team but I don't see us as 6. Not yet.

Gotta gel. A qb that's 3 steps slower than Nick and 2 steps slower than Cam means he's  Chris Todd with a canon. That's not bad.
It isn't the WR corps or coaches...just me expecting better.
We might be a little high rated but we start slowly anyway-kind of a trademark.

Petrino = Little Bitch.

Self inflicted wounds cost you the game? Yea that other team across from you that won had none of those. None at all. Stupid fucker.
