He's going to have like 3 catches today and he looks like the best player on the entire fricking field.

Also, Austin is officially not good.

Holding the ball too long, taking unnecessary sacks, unable (or unwilling) to throw the ball downfield and missing screen passes.

He's become checkdown Charlie, and it's definitely concerning. I don't know if he's hurt or if Auburn broke him last year, but something is wrong with him.

It is a real concern going into the second half. He looks completely out of sync on the field. Even if we leave him in the game it might be best to take the ball out of his hands and simply run at it A&M until they prove they can stop us.

Can we throw a screen pass for Christ's sake

They aren't working but damnit Dan is still going to try every series...

Hayden and hammonds need more touches, the rest get them when available.

The TE screen to O'Grady got us out of a 3rd and 12 jam. A screen to Williams got good yardage earlier.

Austin has been off on a few of them, and O'Grady missed one for what could've been a sizeable gain earlier.

So yet again, Austin's body language is terrible.

Shaking his head, showing up teammates. He needs to get that shite under control.

I know most on here hate Bert, but I'm starting to have more and more hate for Enos.

Yep. I've been saying this since the Belk Bowl, but Enos isn't getting nearly enough blame for the second half collapses and poor offensive performance.

Enos is wading into Robb Smith territory with me. Still living off of a good first year.

He's always aggressive to start the game, sees what works, then ignores it to focus on plays that don't work in the second half.

It's like every game is a scrimmage in preparation for the independence bowl.

It's unbelievable how they keep putting the ball in Austin's hands and completely ignoring the fact that he's a liability in the passing game.

Enos need to jerk a knot in his arse, holding his arm saying don't do that isn't cutting it.

Tackling is looking better.

Greenlaw is playing out of his mind.

Agreed, if Ellis was still there, they'd have about 4 long runs already
