No. Look at South Carolina's plan.

Auburn was firing on all cylinders. It would have taken an act of God to slow them down that day.

If you have further questions about arse whippings in SEC championship games may I direct you to the USCe board

It was pretty bad. They didn't have a great gameplan against us either. We threw screen after screen after screen in the second half and tore them up.

Don't know if it's a consistent problem or not but Arkansas' D coordinator ran a 4-3 w/ the LBs a couple yards back on 3rd/4th & 1s where we were obviously going to run it. We were 5-5 on 4th down and all 5 were converted by a run.

Eta- missed where you specified SECCG. Oh well, thank goodness for the cocksessed posters.

I don't know if the game plan mattered. Our linebackers were too slow to contain Marshal and Mason. Our safeties(specifically White) were terrible tacklers that were ran past multiple times. We had more pass rushing defensive linemen then run stoppers. I think most Mizzou fans would have preferred to play Alabama then Auburn, we have never done well against option offenses.

That defense was built for the Big 12. A conference known for airing it out.

Alabama would have been a better matchup for them.

Auburn was always going to be a tough game for us. Their option offense was our kryptonite. Our DEs were great, the tackles average; our LBs were good, but slow; their power running game was fantastic. With the best game plan in the world, based on personnel that was going to be a tough game for us. Alabama would have been an easier game for our team last year.

That said, all the stuff mentioned about Steck's plan and his weaknesses were spot on. He has a terrible time with option offenses. And he's beyond stubborn, refuses to move away from his plan. Often to our detriment.
