We won't score every possession, but almost. I think we scored every possession but two vs Ole Miss.


4 possessions, not including the end of the half and the end of the game.

End of half


This one was after OM drained the clock and left them with 5 seconds left, FWIW. I would not count that as a failed drive

Fair enough.

5/12 failed drives = 42%

Much different than 2/12 failed drives = 17%.

A&M wont have the luxury of scoring 14 points to win in the last 10 minutes. Our D plays its best at the end of the game.

Auburn isnt gonna score on every possession. Let me end the suspense for you. Ole Miss was on track for 20 points on the game until our best player went down with a thigh bruise. He'll be back for Auburn though.

Auburn O > Ole Miss O
Auburn D > Ole Miss D

if you could take a step back you'd see a good chunk of your fanbase talking a lot of shite this entire week. I'm not saying all of you are, but a good chunk.

Talking shite doesn't equal boastfulness. You're in the SEC, your opponent will be talking shite to you every week. Have you not seen the Arkansas fans on here talking shite about Bama? Do you think they're stupid enough to think they're actually going to beat them? shite talking is part of the SEC. Get used to it.

Yes, as a matter of fact running the ball on A&M will be that easy.

Drives not scored on not counting end of the half.

Rice - 03/11 (27%)
SHSt - 04/12 (25%)
Bama - 05/11 (45%)
SMU - 06/12 (50%)
Arky - 04/10 (40%)
OleM - 05/12 (42%)

A&M has not scored on at least 25% of their drive even against the cupcakes and have not scored on at least 40% of their drives against the SEC. Auburn is allowing less scores than all but 1.

So roughly every other drive is a touchdown. Man wish we could do better than that.

That includes FGs and is still along ways from what your fans are claiming on here.

Agreed, just like we give up points on probably half of our defensive drives but every opposing teams fans think they'll score on every drive.

I'm aware, I'm just surprised at the shite talk denial. Arky and Ole Miss fans owned it leading up to our last games, and then all the sudden the barners get defensive about it this week. It's very confusing to me.
