Does anybody else think that The Ole Ball Coach

SOS must have wanted Richardson to leapfrog Marcus in the Heisman race. Mission accomplished.

see last year's SEC Championship game.

coached the worst game you have ever seen?

Props to Auburn for having the right defensive gameplan and executing it . . .

. . . but yeah, the HBC shat the bed. Since he's been at USC, we have not had the offense everyone expected -- not even close.

It's insane considering the playmakers we have. The offense is dull, simple, and predictable. Spurrier's tendencies are so locked in, it is super easy to defend our offense.

Throw in poor QB and WR coaching; no adjustments; sloppy offensive mistakes; abysmal clock management -- it's just bad. We've known of these problems for years -- and we certainly saw this coming with Garcia's regression this season.

There was a remark (from Spurrier) that Vandy had figured out our sideline playcalls -- so they were going to change them up for Auburn. I'm thinking maybe SOS never quite got around to that -- or maybe we are so predictable it doesn't matter. If Bubba in the stands knows the next play, I reckon even Ted Roof can figure it out as well.

I just have one thing to say. Toss sweep... Auburn knew we were going to run the zone read up the middle, and they really keyed on it big time. Their defenders were crashing in, and we didn't even try to keep them honest by trying to run outside. An offense with as many playmakers as we have shouldn't be so terrible. I think that has to do with scheme more than anything.

It's surprising. Mississippi State comes out and craps on themselves, then South Carolina pretty much does the same thing. I'm going to have to give Auburn some credit on this because you would think these two teams would have a chip on their shoulder for what happened to them against Auburn last year, then even more than just the extra boost of playing the defending national champion. But both of them just really played undisciplined against Auburn and that's a lot of what got them beat. And that is coaching. Take away just a few of the foolish blunders and it's a win. In fact, I would say both Merlins and Ole Balls both coached about their worst - maybe ever - against Auburn this year. We'll see how this plays out, if it happens again down the road during this killer stretch Auburn is facing. It should be interesting, especially this weekend against Petrino.

I agree.


He could have done a few short passes.
