Id look for Tunde to start and Reese to play more after the first quarter. Who knows with Chiz. He may just start him and sit Tunde.

I was not totally turned off by the OL play. It will certainly get better. It is not my concern.

Having Auburns defense consistently in the 100's in the rankings is just total crap. With the guys we are recruiting. I just dont get it

I watched GT play last night and they tackled as good as we did. And they dont have a 4 star on the field on D...


It is getting very old.

You and me both. I cannot understand it. Sometimes I wonder if the coaches see what we see?

I feel like the O line play was one of the bright spots on our team...

Who did your sig picture? I have been working on one but it looks like crap. Cant get the size down without it looks grainy.. I have no idea what I am doing either. LOL


On other news, I heard we were in for a 6* linebacker from Alaska. He should be awesome in those late season games. Cant wait.

I watched GT give up a late drive that allowed a FG, also saw some missed tackles that allowed the drive to get in FG range... Then I saw GT get slashed by VT offense in the OT and LOSE THE GAME....

I agree. The defense did lose the game in the end of regular play but all in all, we did not look a lot better than them. And Al Groth is coaching them.

Somewhere, we have a disconnect. Tackling. We have not wrapped up guys in a few years. Are our practices too soft? Not enough physical head to head play?

we heard all fall about how physical our scrimmages/camp had been... IMO, it's the interior DL play that's really dragging this unit down... no one's stepped up. The LBs didn't play all that bad, but when we're getting zero push up the middle, what do you expect?

really disappointed in whitaker and blackson... someone needs to step up and own it ASAP.

Who have we recruited that should be helping our D? Just take a look at the LB corp tells one all you need to know. Super overrated Jake Holland, 2 star Bates, and a guy who got an offer because his brother played for Tubs. And saftie recruiting has been pretty much ignored under Chizik and co.

The world has stopped. I, for the first time, agree with CB.

ETA:

LaDarius Owens should be playing MLB right now.

... you realize he spent a year at LB before getting moved to the DL, right?... if he was any good at linebacker, he'd be playing it right now.

I realize that. I was just pointing out how we've missed at that position. We've had some bad luck there.

This right here is funny because if it does happen I will not visit. I think I did the same thing last year after Clemson or Arky. Just too frickin annoying to talk about and hear the shite talk. Better beat that arse this weekend.
