They were crashing cb's and safeties from the end changing the end guy that NM was supposed to read. NM didn't make the right reads and KSU tackled well in space. We really should have pulled out the iron bowl pass play on the zone read with the way their corners were crashing in.

Thanks. Maybe you could help me learn more. Do top 5 teams always struggle against teams ranked 15 spots below them even when that other team also plays poorly?

yep my opoint was it doesn't matter if they were open (I don't think they were) if they get deflected. The downfield passing game had guys wide open all night.

I think you do. Early in the game the linebackers were crashing the middle incessantly and disrupting the rhythm of our running game and defensive backs were sealing the edge. All eyes were on the middle. They clearly were daring us to pass and until we did there was no breathing room in the middle.

Getting dizzy from all of this spin. Auburn squeaked by what will be an unranked middle of the road KState team, comprised of 50% walk-ons. AUs receivers can't catch, and the running game was stoned all night. KState shot themselves in the foot all night and still could have won. Auburn won't be moving up in any polls.

KSU had the reigning SEC Champions and NCG runner up in house. It was a huge game for them. Trolling isn't as good a look for you as you think.

The spin goes both ways. Just because you want us to be bad doesn't mean we are.

I agree we shouldn't move up in any polls, but there's a lot of overreaction nonsense on tRant today.

So AU won, right?

I think the running game will be fine.

Polls don't matter right now. We have bigger games down the road that will determine our ranking.

Exactly. Everyone is over rated. The top 5 should be vacant right now.

I have never said it wasn't a huge game for KState. I have only said the people saying ESPN didn't preface "biggest game" with OOC are wrong.

I never said I wanted you to be bad. AU just looked kinda bad, and the spin is funny. KState ain't world beaters. Congrats on the win.
