I'm all for it. Especially on senior day.
We're fucked for the IB anyway, so let the kid get a shot at redemption. Would make a hell of a story.

What happened the last time bama faced a third string QB?
-
100% depends on if Pettway and KJ are healthy. If they are, not much changes from 3 weeks ago. If JJ can hand off, run a little and hit a few passes, this will be a classic. Don't forget. Our D is bad ass and deep...just like my Johnson.
-
JJ's prospects for cleat-chasing trim improved this week so that's good for him. I guess.
:fu: 2016 football season

Da fuck? I'm disappointed, but this football season isn't half as disastrous as some in our very recent history.

Not as bad as some seasons, but here's why it's just as frustratingly disappointing as 2013.
Prior to the Georgia game we were #9 in the CFP polls. That week, these teams lost.
(2) Clemson
(3) Michigan
(4) Washington
(8) TX A&M
(9) Auburn
Had we not lost, and after having beaten an SEC team, we would have been AT MINIMUM #5.
Last night Louisville got EMBARRASSED by Houston 36-10. Were losing 31-0 at the half and still couldn't do shit to adjust.
This would GUARANTEE us and Bama both being in playoff positions leading into our game. Hell, wouldn't shock me if we ended up #1 & #2 in this upcoming week's polls. Would have been fucking epic.
Now all hope has been thrown out the window with Sean's shoulder and Pettway's hammy and Cowart's appendix.
-
jmar votes for Johnson redemption story as well.
Prowler I'm not sure if you are invoking the spirit of Patrick Nix in an Auburn victory or
another that wept in a fetal position as we got throttled.
If Johnson plays: we need to be able to stay within a score at half to have a chance.
he cannot take a sack.
he has to throw for at least two scores.
If memory serves I believe that's the same recipe I called for in the last Iron Bowl.
He took a few sacks, one which was devastating...and he also telegraphed a pick.
We couldn't stop Henry in the 2nd half and they got behind us for a TD pass to A. Stewart?
Sort of went down like our opener with Clemson this season. Still in it for the most part...but ehhh, still out of reach.
And of course FWIW Coach Boom went Kaboom!

I get the disappointment, missing the playoffs due to untimely injuries is not in the same universe as '08 or '12. Those seasons get the bird AND the gas-face.
-
I can tell you what is going to happen without bothering to watch either of the two last games.
Saturday, Kerryon will get 20+ carries, Kam Martin will get another 10-15 and Rudy Ford will come in and run 10 times in the 4th quarter. JJ will throw around 10 passes, thus not giving him even a remote chance to build any confidence whatsoever in his arm or get on the same page with any of his receivers. Auburn will win because the defense will keep the bulldogs out of the end zone until the 4th quarter, when the scrubs are in. It will be something like 31-13. Ho freaking hum.
Then, next Saturday, Gus will call 15 straight pass plays to start the iron bowl. 4 punts and a pick six later, Truitt will start running the ball straight up the gut 3 times a possession, then more punts. Once we are down 35-0, JFIII will come in and run for a long TD and later cough the ball up a couple of times for a couple more defensive TDs. Final: 7-49

Yep! There was absolutely nothing disappointing about 13' except losing late to Captain FuckHerRightInTheCrabClaws. And 2013 probably had as many classic AU moments as any season we've ever had.
Hey, peeps may be bummed about the loss to Georgia. But how'd ya' like to be a Texas A&M fan in November?

Was about to say. What in the hell was wrong with 2013??
Guessing chizad means 14 and is incorrectly imploring teh chizad calendar mathZ

I meant 13. I just meant the way it ended. That we were THIS CLOSE.
Frustratingly disappointing and just plain bad are two different things.
That was the best season of the Malzahn era, and yeah we got an SEC championship to show for it, but losing in Pasadena hurt.
For that matter, I don't think this year has been "just plain bad" either.

14 was the blown chance to me. Almost all starters back. In the playoff initially. And blew it down the stretch.

My biggest disappointment has been and continues to be the trends Gus shows. He doesn't learn from his mistakes and that is going to be his undoing. I'm not upset with the season, what our record is, or who the fuck has lost above us. Our record is what I expected. I'm upset with the way we have lost our games, COACHING.
I'm upset because we can never get both sides of the ball working together in the same year.

Yup. I have seen this movie one five or six too many times.

I think our defense keeps it closer.
I think something like 6-17 maybe 6-24 on a late TD.
I'm expecting 3 quarters of close game (hey we could pull this out type hope) followed by 4th quarter dominance.

Alabama A&M is 4-6
4 Wins:
Miss. Valley State 35-16
Ark. Pine Bluff 40-7
Alabama State 42-41
Jackson State 27-20
6 Losses:
Middle Tennessee 55-0
Prarie View 41-20
Southern 59-31
Texas Southern 34-31
Alcorn State 42-19
Grambling 56-17
I don't care if we play Damian Lewis and Eugene Govan at RB. This shouldn't be close after 1 quarter. And if Malzahn does what Buzz predicts (And he will) and doesn't get JJ as ready as he can possibly be in one game, I'm going to jump on the Tom Herman, Art Briles, Pete Carroll, Les Miles, Dennis Green, Tom Landry anybodybutgus bandwagon.

Damn. Getting your shit pushed in by prairie view and alcorn. You have to reexamine your life at that point.

You just need to be worried about chizad showing up to get his revenge and whipping your sorry ass.

You're gonna eventually have to face the music WT but until then I suggest you wear a disguise.

I'm saying he HAS to before the game starts. He needs to get the rust off and develop a little mental connection with at least one receiver if he's going to be playing the next week. I'd say he needs to throw a minimum of 10 passes in the first quarter.

And hopefully complete at least 8. (6 to our guys)

Should we let JJ carry it three straight times in the redzone against A&M just to confuse Bamer?

He would never find me if I go as a white man.

At least he's thrown passes in the direction of Marcus Davis before.

Jeremy Johnson 14-of-19 for 147 yards and 1 TD, 6 carries for 42 yards and 2 TDs
Was this okay for some of y'all or do you need some help moving off the bus? I know a short armed fella that will help move.

I would've helped you move the couch but my arms are too short, said as I'm hobbling around with a Gout flareup and now carrying the dryer.

Pedestrian performance against a much inferior foe. Back to screen passes and badly thrown out routes. But he's all we got.
Positives. JF3 looked serviceable along with Kmart. Together thyey are fast. Now if JF3 believes he can outrun the bammer DE, he might make a play.
JJ looks like a 6'5" jack Sparrow Running the ball. he's so afraid of getting hit that he has a hard time running. But he's all we got.
He will need the best game of his life (and Pettway) to stand a chance.
DB Taylor is a senior. He did not let a WR behind him all night. Holsey let the first two behind him. Where has this Taylor been?
We did what we were supposed to do tonight. JJ looked like JJ, nothing more.
The Iron Bowl will be hard fougt.

no most of us aren't democrats...we can get
on or off the bus just fine...on our own.

Left early in the 2nd qtr as my date was getting cold and so was I.
And nice to not fight traffic.
Listened to remainder of game and I'm pleased with performance. I just want our best game next week. It would be a sweet win. So sweet, even if there's only bragging rights riding on it.
-
Just got back from the Planes. Agree with CCT for the most part. No, not pimping JJ for Heisman. Just saying especially in the first half, he was on the money with every throw. Had at least 2 drops, the worst one being a deep out route that he dropped in perfectly between two defenders and KDavis just plain dropped. Otherwise, they kept it pretty simple. Just glad he got to throw 19 passes. That will help going into next week.
Spot on with Taylor looking good and Holsey letting everything get behind him. Think about it, though. Vandy had guys behind us all day and Georgia made them look like they were running in quicksand. That's the one thing that needs serious attention this week. Otherwise, this defense is playing as good or better than any D we've had, even throughout the Tubby era.
In fact, we're giving up just barely over 14 points a game. And that's rotating in a new group every single series.
-
I believe that.
-
I will add, I actually think we match up pretty well with the bammers.
-
Jeremy looked great and I hope he gets the start (and maintains his composure) against Bama. His last snap in JH was a touchdown. Kudos to the young man for sticking with it and not transferring out to finish/start at another school.
JF3 was productive in his role..against a lesser opponent. The kid is lightning quick, but Bama's defense will snap him in half if given half a chance. I really didn't understand the subbing out of JJ for Franklin. There's plenty of "tape" on JF3 to distract Pruett if that was the intent and Johnson could use the live reps.
Kam Martin was impressive not only with his speed, but his willingness to get between the tackles as well.
I think we can dispel the rumors that Tyler Queen has any lingering problems with his surgery. Surely the coaches don't run the kid out there if he's not been medically cleared. It was meaningless, but still happy to see another warm body available if needed.
All in all, it was what it should be every time we play AA&M, regardless of the seasonal zeitgeist or roster for Auburn.
Nearly forgot: Clint Fucking Stoerner should never be invited into a broadcast booth again. Fucking foghorn-voiced stump-licker was worthless and hard to listen to.

I actually feel bad how JJ has been handled. So much promise. On paper he is prototype. Size, speed, arm, he knows the game, he's a hard worker, smart kid, keeps his nose clean. Just hate how this panned out for him.
