He produced points, albeit against the second and third string of LSU.
Still, Auburn should invest reps into the next season since this one is now dead and rotting.

People are just frustrated. I think the OL is serviceable, but it is far from elite. The entire offense is subpar and shouldn't be back next year.

Tua ain’t it or he could beat out B. Brown, who is not that good. If he is better than B.Brown, that means we have another coach that can’t identify good QB talent, and that is the scariest option. We need to be out hunting our next guy for next year right now.

I think 7 wins is a pretty good season for picking ourselves back up. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

I agree with that. I saw Cobb had only 3 carries in the first half. And they keep asking a speedster to run through the nonexistent A gap. There were several off tackle runs called last week and Cobb looked good.

Bo went and got better coaching. That’s the bottom line there.

If we can win 7 games this year with this schedule, it will be a success

He got better everything outside of maybe receivers. Again, no offense moves constantly being in third and long.
He wasn’t the problem. In fact he covered so many holes it’s laughable anyone in Auburn ever thought he shouldn’t be our starter.

Updates from Alex Golesh after Auburn's 38-17 loss to LSU...
** Didn't play winning football. 7 of 11 drives 4 plays or less. Close to 20 negatives. 2nd half adjustments didn't resemble good offensive football.
** Gave up too many 4th downs, scrambles, didn't tackle well.
** Didn't look like Auburn football on both sides of the ball. Got to respond after a really bad performance on both sides. No silver lining at all. Really, really poor performance. Really disappointed. Will find a way that we respond. They've got tonight to feel sorry for themselves and reset tomorrow. Had the highs of highs and that would be the lows of lows.
** Had a plan to move the pocket and get the ball out. Protection couldn't hold up after first couple of drives. Holding on to ball too long. Being able to neutralize edges on pass pro was key for offense, didn't look pretty.
** Team speed defensively, especially at edge, is a concern. Gotta try to mask your issues week to week. Gotta find advantages at a higher rate. Go to do a really good job of figuring out what they are.
** They pitches and caught it well. They were efficient. They do a good job of getting balls in the flats, check downs. Key was to tackle on those plays and didn't do well.
** LSU did a good job on interior defense, gapping you out and twist game. Forced us out of gap scheme, forced us outside against some really good edges. We weren't good enough. Didn't find enough games to create run game.
** On the 70-yard touchdown, followed by 3-and-out and another LSU TD: That 14-point swing is hard to come out of. Did it last week but can't live like that. Need to hold up better upfront. Need to be efficient on offense where at worst, you're flipping the field.
*****THAT'S ALL*****

The premise of this statement is BS.
There is no QB battle when you bring your multi-year starting 5th year senior from your previous school, and on top of that you pay him $3M to follow you. The idea that there was any chance that they bring him here for that amount of money and he somehow isn't the starting QB is comical. C'mon man, use your brain.
Ti'a may very well suck (which is more likely than him being secretly amazing), but him "not beating out Brown" means nothing. That would imply that there was ever a chance where that would even happen.
Having said that, the "talk" behind the scenes seems to be that nobody really believes that Ti'a is an SEC starting QB. But I do wonder if there are things that he can possibly do which alleviates some offensive flaws. Yes, "on paper" he would seem like a worse option behind a mid to bad OL, but Brown holds the ball so absurdly long that I'm starting to question even this narrative. Can Ti'a get the ball out at least and push it to the WR's, who are clearly the best part of the offense? Brown being more mobile or a better runner doesn't really mean that much if other teams just force him to throw (like today) and he just continues to be unable to process the game quickly enough in the pocket.

Team speed defensively
Most of the team looked either slow or sluggish compared to other teams I'm watching today.
Durkin's D was pathetic today. No pressure, soft coverage, LSU receivers left all alone. Did AU lose too much talent from last year?

I’m really not interested in the Tia vs Brown convo at all. Golesh is gonna put the best dude out there to win games because that’s his job
I don’t see how our defense will be able to stop the likes of Ole Miss and Bama though

I have heard that about Tia, but that evaluation was never applied to Brown. The first 5 mins I saw him live I knew he wouldn't cut it. He just isn't talented enough for this level.

Do both teams like to throw slants across the middle? If so, the defense will be Swiss cheese again.

lol yup

Durka Durka doesn’t know or doesn’t care about leaving the middle of the field wide open. We’ve seen it every week for 3 years now.

I miss Muschamps D when he required his CBs to be 6' and taller.
