Arkansas @ AU vs Vandy @ AU

And no one can use the excuse that they have better athletes than us

Umm. He's very serious? What excuse are you gonna make for why we look the way we do this time?

If anything isn't this proof that Arkansas vs. Auburn was the perfect trap game? Auburn off their bye, in a must-win to preserve their spot in the SEC, playing a team without a bye yet and many injuries, and then Auburn scored early in a primetime game at home to get the momentum from the start to get a quick 21-0 lead in the first few minutes?

Now with their opponent off of a bye, in an 11 AM game, in what was a "meh" game for Auburn meaning they have major opponents coming up... This is the perfect "low emotion let down" that could allow Vandy to punch up in class.

Like it or not, emotion and momentum mean everything to 18-21 year old kids playing football. Most predicted a big Auburn win against Arkansas, even the betting lines. That's because objectively it looked like a bad matchup with all the subjective measures falling to Auburn.


Yes, it sucked and was inexcusable to play flat like that, but Auburn is a team that will run up the score if the opponent plays flat and they keep their momentum, pace, and emotions high.

But you shouldn't sit there and believe Vandy is a better team now. I'd still take Arkansas over half the league.

Excuse? The parody in CFB outside of Tuscaloosa is high as ever. Anybody can beat anybody now. And Auburn is playing a RB at QB too.

I agree with that for the most part but emotion and a bye week wasn't 53 points different. Vanderbilt has a better offensive line and a MUCH better defense at every level. Idk if we have a single player that would start on vandys d and that's sad. Maybe wise or pulley or toliver? I'm sure Sosa would at least be in the 2 deep (since he should be starting here) but other than that they are better than us on that side of the hall and I doubt we offered a single player on that d. If you can't recruit great talent then you have to be able to evaluate. That is 100% on this coaching staff. If vandy can have a serviceable defense then so can Arkansas. Step the frick up bret.

Well dale why dint we do that? That sounds like uncommon men and they're obviously doing much better than we are at the moment? I mean hell it couldn't be any worse

Came on to make this thread but John beat me to it.

Really scary how Vandy is hanging with aubie and a&m is getting beat by state as I'm walking into stadium hoping we don't get embarrassed again.


I honestly don't know what to expect.

No shite we've got the worst in the sec it goes beyond poor really recruiting and into bad talent evacuation

MSU's skinny white QB just carried half of the A&M defense into the endzone on a goal line play.
