Man, based on what we’ve seen, they played out of their minds today.

One of the best D’s and best Dlines you’ll see, they put a hat on it.

I think Golesh found a combination that is serviceable moving forward.

How were we not flagged for our RT? Seemed like he did move prematurely a lot

He must be so quick, he moves simultaneously with the snap. We're going to get some flags eventually even if he moves a millisecond after the center starts moving the ball on the snap. He's always moving before all of the other linemen, so we're lucky so far.

I noticed that too, and even rewound it. It was so close but you couldn’t throw a flag on it.

It was actually, truly perfect timing. I don’t know if it was pure luck, coincidence or coaching, but I want to hang onto it.

We're still talking SEC refs here, right?

Glad I wasn't the only one who saw it. I noticed a few times he and even the RG were moving at or near the snap of the ball - no flag. Now, the one real noticeable time I saw it, it didn't eventually matter. Auburn still punted and that lead to the final drive where Stockton fumbled.

Man, I loved typing those words!!!!


But hopefully that's a fine point the coaches gently remind the OL to get set before the snap.

Look at film of Florida's Trace Armstrong from back in the 1980s. He was the same way he had a step on the entire offensive line.

Big difference between the OL and DL is that the OL is supposed to come set before the snap.

Rowdy Gaines on winning gold......right before the race coach pulls me aside and says Rowdy I watched this starter several times....its a fast gun.. I hit the water first and never looked back.

Isnt it just that he is tasked with silent count snap in a loud stadium? Since he hits the center to snap it then he knows better than anyone that the ball is moving?
