One silver lining...

This team is 1-0 in one score games.

My thanks to Aranda as I did not want an overtime game.

Na nothing other than we would’ve lost that game in the past. Maybe it’s a step.

We were 0-6 in one score games last year. So, yeah, that was a loss for last year's team.

Not impressed at all by: the OL played (run blocking specifically), pass coverage on defense, Byrum Brown's passing past 5 yards downfield.

Got lots to clean up, but we are 1-0.

This team is a work in progress.

On the D, Baylor #6 was running free repeatedly and wasn't even chipped at the line after burning the D bunches of times including that last 28 yard catch on 4th down, game extending catch.

Also, Durkin ran a 3 man rush against a hobbled QB with a deadly arm. That was bad, bad, bad.

Three interceptions was painful.

Quite possibly the best tackle I’ve ever seen. Unbelievable.

1-0

We didn’t win that game, Aranda lost it on multiple occasions for Baylor. We have a very, very long way to go.

Why is it always we can put a game away, we drop a sure fire INT.

Improvement from last year when we were 0-6 in 1 score games!

Why did Brown loathe all game then turned up the Cam LSU Heisman lock 5th gear to finally score?


Fellow Auburn fans, schedule your Cardiology follow up for next week!

Baylor going for 2 to win was against the odds in general. Had they kicked the FG, odds would have been even.

Clean up, improve etc.

Let me know the plan for fixing Brown's windup and slowness.

Let me know the plan for infusing the OLine with talent and athleticism.

No imagination for scheming from the O coaches. No one here would be able to tell the difference between this and Malzahn's offense if blind tested. That is a fact.

Good thing a lot of tough opponents are early because the D will be making business decisions before long.

Is their kicker that bad? Thats the only thing that makes me think that’s why he did that

This offense was faster than Gus's. Pretty error free given the speed.

Seems there was a lot of holding against the pass rush that didn't get called. Did the refs take pity on Lagway with his gimpy ankle?

I hope Golesh actually brings in better quality transfers now that USF gang gang was proven a disaster.

Ole Miss tackle at the goal line was a site of beauty too, it you blink about the gruesome injury.

Wasn’t it Kris Frost? Anyone know if that WR recovered to play again?

I didn't pay attention because of how bad the rest of the OL did, but how did Cole Best do?
