This Auburn - Arkansas gives me the herbs. Not sure why, but it does.

The whole GameDay panel (including the Abercrombie model country singer guest) picked Auburn to win. Anyone nervous because of this?

Right...like a fucking out of left field, blindsided Twilight Zone for some ranked AU teams-a veritable stake in the heart for a couple under Tubs.

Put it this way. I fear this unassuming little pig sty far more than the whole Baton Rouge mystique.

ie.  So we show up and I'm thinking we are prepared but we get scored on twice in 5 minutes by an UNK kid AU and the Turds passed on from some bumfuck town in Alabama. It was like a blur, happened faster than Jeremy Hill this season. Never recovered!

Another time it snowed and we altogether forgot that the game of football is played mostly outdoors. Never in it!

Not really sure how this game is going to go.

My concerns:

1.  Alex Collins reminds us that Jake Holland is our starting MLB. 
2.  Our pass defense continues to give up big plays.
3.  A bad injury.
4.  Jeremy Johnson has to start and isn't the phenom we expect him to be.
5.  Gus gets cute thinking he can put up a bunch of points. 

We win easily if...

1.  We come in with a basic offensive gameplan where we pound the ground and hit the occasional play action pass deep.
2.  We make extra sure we stop their running game up the middle. 
3.  We play zone. 
4.  Limit the risks.  Take advantage of our punter. 

It's Arkansas.  For some reason, they beat us a lot.

We should win going away but this is on foreign soil. And like THS said we needn't get cute (going all Curly Hallman or something) and need to do exactly as we've been doing. The fuckers shouldn't beat us up the middle and we needn't drop one as a 'backer to combat a passing attack as we've been doing lately. At worst we overload up front and cheat one up close and handle them with Man. And hopefully we come out healthy.

Somebody will try it.  Most likely Ark. or UT.  Not saying it will be successful, and that we can't deal with it, but if I'm Ark. or UT, with nothing to lose, I force Auburn to pass to win.  Commit 7, 8 and even 9 to the box, play cover 0, blitz and try to beat the shit out of our WRs.   Don't think Ark. can pull it off without some strange shit happening.

Agree. Our guy is barely above 50%. It's HIS running ability that makes his passing work, not the rest of the run game. He is very good on the move and only so-so in a standard drop.

Is this the official game thread?

So far, Arkansas is proving me right.  We're getting beat because we can't tackle or even get to them right now.  Their running backs are two of the best we'll see all year, and we don't get a hat on them quickly, we're going to be in trouble.

Bielema's a fucking idiot.  Some of these calls are asinine and pompous.  We cannot stop their running backs.  It's not going to happen.  They have two of them and can keep them fresh.  Instead, he's running reverses and halfback passes and onside kicks.

What a dumbass.

The mfer's expecting to be hanging around in the second half. We look to be making that possible by our defensive play.

And were never threatened. 

Bulemia coaches boring ball. They look like Mississippi State used to. Got really really tired of hearing the announcers say how close they are. They aren't close. Not at all. What he's doing there will not work.

Told ya to be prepared to be upset if y'all were saying that you'd be upset if Auburn didn't blow them out or beat them by atleast 30.

Arkansas is a power running game team, Auburn has trouble stopping power running game teams...and covering WRs running slants. Btw, #19 Ryan White has jumped into the Jake Holland boat of players that I can't wait to see graduate (Chad Slade has jumped out of the boat and is standing on solid ground, he's gotten better).

8 wins is above expectations any way you slice it but stuff like the "injury" are just not what I expect from Auburn.

No need to get on that level IMHO.

I couldn't care less if three of our guys fake a seizure at once or we lead with the headgear three straight plays as long as we win.

Exactly...it'll just give some Auburn fans something to bitch and complain about, eventhough we're sitting at #11 and 8-1 with the one loss to then #7 LSU.

Not bitching. Just saying I don't think Gus and co. had to do that but, whatever. Glad that game is over. Hope the trip to Rocky Top is another successful one.

A Texas A&M player did the exact same thing against us, yet they didn't even show that on TV. Was all about the horse collar.

Beleima complained about the danger of running the no-huddle at media days. He ran the no-huddle.

He said Malzahn removed the swinging gate play from the game film. He ran the swinging gate on the goal line.

Immediately after was the flop. Malzahn had said at media days that there needs to be a rule about defenders doing this to slow down the momentum. There currently is not.

Troll for troll.

Malzahn apparently denied it after the game. I wish he would have owned it and said "That's why you need to change the rules."

That said, as mentioned, it had no affect on the game, since the quarter was ending and would have stopped the clock anyway.

I did not see the game live, so I am watching the replay on xbox.  (ESPN with their damn New England play-by-play guys - Tessitore must be the token from BC to go with their usual Syracuse guys)

Anyway, they did go overboard over the 3-4 quarter break harping on Swain's injury.  They said he was walking fine after the tackle on the previous play, when he was doing some stiff-legged hobble.  They claimed he was looking to the sideline for a signal, when every defender looks to the sideline for play call.  I wonder if Swain saw the subs going in-out and went ahead and said fuck it I need to get out.  Remember that Arkansas had to swap nearly everyone out from their fake field goal to regular offense - the first down box was set and the ref had already started the game clock.

Of course, Millen played LB at Penn State - so a coach telling him to go down and fake it has an entirely different meaning.


Oh, they came back to it again during the break where the referee was injured.  (He probably faked it too)  If you have a player fake an injury, you do it soccer-style where they return to the game after a quick miraculous recovery.  You don't take a contributor out for the rest of the whole game just to embellish a fake.

And now Tessitore throws in the Pat "Tie" Dye reference - douchebag.  He should know that is not an innocuous reference, given his involvement in the AU-turd and Bo Knows 30-for-30s.

Not a fan of SEC-TV on ESPN if the crews are going to be all-yankee asshats
