I thought MSU won both sides of the line of scrimmage.

They also won third down for most of the game.

Congratulations, you have a really great team.

You are right. These Miss schools have awesome lines and it's the Alabama teams that are loaded down with the 4 and 5 start linemen. That State DL is nasty.

I watched some of Bama's game.

I'm not sure what the problems are, but looks like AU and Bama have serious ball security issues.

Auburn had 232 yards rushing against State which is more than I expected. We did have trouble running the ball inside the red zone, but I sort of blame Malzahn's play calling for that. If you have first and goal from the 8 or 9 yard line against a defense as good as State, you are not going to score a touchdown by the giving the ball to CAP 2 or 3 times between the tackles

Auburn is clearly not running the ball between the tackles as well as we did last year, so Malzahn probably needs to diversify the running game. He probably needs to call more toss sweeps, quarterback draws, and maybe mix in a few option plays like State did Saturday instead of going with the zone read on every play

That is probably the main reason why we lost.

State front 7 is the best in college right now. Nasty frickers. We knew that before yesterday, but they really balled out in front of the home crowd to make it obvious.

Would have helped if we had actually tested them instead of running CAP up the middle over and over again for them to stop like every other team we have faced has done. WTF did Corey Grant do to piss the coaches off?

Roc was also a lot more explosive between the tackles on the drive he got the ball.

Something needs to change with Rb, CAP is good but it's not been working with him all year. With a loss Gus has a reason to change things up.

They threw LSU lines around like rag dolls. For that matter, so did Auburn.

Bit of a mixed bag right now. We had some injuries and moved some folks around. Seriously missing Jay Prosch out of the backfield as well.

Glad for the open week to get some folks healthier.

The progression of posts on the rant is awesome after each State win. Beat LSU, everyone laughs and shits on the tigers. Beat Aggy, they suddenly discover state is good and defend against the trolling. Welcome on board, Auburn.

Parity in the sec is good for this board. Even the gumps have slowed their (t)roll.
