Auburn fans, what were your thoughts on the spring game?

I caught little bit last night. Defense seemed to be dominating. First score was a safety right?

The defense could be even better than last year. The offensive line is going to be our weakest unit at this rate.

Defense will be better than last year.

FG is secure with Carlson 2.0. He mentioned that he felt good from 65 yards in.

QB is solid.
WR are solid.

Problem is that OL and RB are weak links and Gus is stubborn. If Mike Leach was our OC- we would throw it 45 times a game and win the SEC this year. With Gus, we will lose 4.

You may have to fill them in.

While acounting for the "stacked" not packed TV propoganda viewing side, they had likely quadrupled the Grove Bowl but still had a bit fewer than expected given the contractual expectations of the new and improved Gus Bus. He's bringing your toast dry and your hash browns covered, smothered, peppered, and topped.

Any time you limit a Spread Option Offense to touching only of the QBs, you are not going to get much out of the Spring Game. I have heard that the QBs have not been able to show their passing abilities all Spring, because they have been running for their lives. That is either an indication of the OL or the DL. AU will be very good on D and if Stidham stays heathly, they can be very good on Offense. If they can find a punter, their STs will be one of the best in the SEC.

It was pretty uninspiring. Hopefully things will get polished up before the fall.

I wtched for entertainment.

I saw some things that can be a concern but withhold those due to it being a Spring game. nothing to get uptight over. I also saw some things that would make one excited over but will not because it's the Spring Game.

I don't have a real solid feel of this team's look, ability, or potential yet.



For that reason I predict 15-0 Ship!

They know they are bound to have at least 7 to 8 wins. It happens just about every year

Looks like we will be in some 12-10 type games. Good D and bad O.

Excited about the d line and lbs. Thin in the secondary. O line is put together by gum and tape right now due to injuries. Looks like kicking is going to be solid.

All that said, we pull the normal 8-4 regular season and then get a wood shed beating in the Outback bowl by a big 10 team.

Defense looks solid by all accounts.

This was the most injury riddled spring I've ever seen and they all happened to offensive players.

Stove: Torn ACL
Hastings: torn ACL

O-line
Brahms: broken leg
Kim: busted ankle

We were down to a walk on center for the spring game because of Brahms and Kim's injuries. Stidham had surgery on his non-throwing shoulder so he didn't play. Lots of work ahead to get the offense where it needs to be.

Most spring games tell us little. I think this one told us even less.

The only big takeaways I had is Stidham had better be healthy all year and the defense looks pretty solid.

Are there ever any substantial takeaways from a spring game? They're so scripted, and if your offense has a banner day, then everyone freaks out about their defense, and vice versa.

I guess you can see how an individual performs, but trying to take away anything larger is pointless.
