Two tough games in a row, another two upcoming....we have to be pretty beat up. National Title is on the line. We should see Coker and company by the second quarter.
or as I Had a guy ask me this morning. Why even play the starters at all and risk the injury ?

We have to work on some things on offense. WCU can help us out with that. They also run a spread option offense that can help our defense prepare for AU.
Having said all of that, we are in a playoff situation now. Saban even said that himself. There's no reward in playing guys like Cooper, Sims, Collins, Yeldon, etc. past the first quarter. I know we're supposed to respect our opponent but there's far too much at stake to risk injuries in a game like this. If it were up to me, Cooper, Yeldon, and Cam wouldn't even be dressed out.
As soon as we're up 3-4 scores, pull everybody.

If it were up to me, I would let the starters play 2 series, assuming we scored a TD on both.
Agreed. I'd probably add Ragland and Collins to that list.

three series and then put the baby bammers in

They are 7-4 so Maybe for a while.. I just hope we get up quick and bring in backups to add to the lead..

Get up quick and pull the starters. 21 should do it. Don't really care the final score just want to see everyone healthy for the Iron Bowl

I'd like to see an aggressive first quarter with the starters. This means playing like you are down 14+ in the 4th quarter against a good team. Then let the back ups play for 3 quarters.
Gurley got hurt in a game he had no business in in. Bad mojo

Play the 1s for the first quarter I guess.
Wouldn't mind seeing Coop get a chance to statpad.

Don't forget about our starting DL.... Reed, Allen and Robinson are so valuable to our team right now. I think our entire defense feeds off of their energy.

Honestly, I would start the whole second unit. Not risk a thing. If somehow WCU can make it a game, switch our firsts in.

Really hoping we see a LOT of Frazier, Hand, Evans, and SDH.

I want to see Reuben Foster play something other than special teams.
Posted on 11/17/14 at 5:48 pm to AllBamaDoesIsWin
Yeah I'd like to see more SDH. He got in a little bit against MSU but he hasn't played in many games.
Ragland has played well enough to consider jumping to the league. We've got to find some ILBs sooner or later

seriously, i would have everybody dress, but the starting 22 would be cheerleaders. let the 2nds start and put it in their hands, sub from the rest. maybe it sounds crazy, but i swear thats exactly what i'd do.

Starters need to be out once we get up 3 scores. Guys that are hurt need not to play. Give them an extra week to heal up for the Iron Bowl
Posted on 11/18/14 at 8:17 am to mattloc
1st half provide we score over 40 in it.
Then they will play 1 series of the 2nd half and come out.

I have a strange feeling this game will be ugly and frustrating and we won't be able to get the starters out as soon as we'd like. Hope I'm wrong.

Coming off two big emotional, physical games with the biggest game of the year coming up the following week....what makes you say that?

I would agree, except it's WCU. They just got beat 51-0 by UT Chattanooga.

Both those teams run the same offense, very similar to Auburns. Basically allows us to practice for AU two weeks in a row.
WCU is somehow 7-4 btw.
I cant figure out if I should start Amari on ESPNs college football challenge or not
