Just win baby. Especially against the doormats.

10 point leads aren’’t the same cushion as 25.

Sure we lost the NC game but that’s already scarring so don’t know what your point is there.

Three times out of eight: in 2016, 2017 and 2019. None of those games were ever in danger (won them by 24, 42 and 33 points respectively).

That said, he also lost 3 games to them despite having superior talent on paper.

I was never comfortable with leaving points on the table in that first half, I was bit afraid it would be one of those games where everyone in the stadium got a little too comfortable and we would let them back into the game. They were moving on us decently well in the first half, just didn't get a score. I of course didn't expect them not to score for at least a quarter and a half though while getting scored on easily.

I think Harsin is close to building a good foundation on what the physical team Auburn needs to be, but isn't quite fully physically built yet, I don't believe except for a few outliers. I think his quarterback first mentality needs to be reminded that our RBs can open up more plays for the QB, we seem to get really pass heavy in tight situations that should be less.

I thought we abandoned the run way too early when we were still ahead. I was like what the hell are we doing?

Get back into a rhythm with the running game, and play action passes. When I saw Bo throw every down I knew we were going the wrong way on play calling, and that was when we were still leading, and also when they were up just 1 point.

Best thing we could have done was slow their roll with some long drives and give our D a rest and score some points.

We tried the run the first 2 possessions of the 2nd half ran on both 1st and 2nd downs and both resulted in 3rd and 9. Were they supposed to run on 3rd and 9 as well?

Don't be that idiot


Opened the third with one run by a receiver for 2 yards, and then 4 straight passes.


2nd possession Bigsby handoffs gained 3 yards then and one later in the drive for no gain.

I mean at least get your stats right when asking a ridiculous question.

7 rush attempts in the 2nd half and 16 in the first. Yes we abandoned the run too early. Of course you don't run on 3rd and 9.

I didn’t say they gave it to tank 4 times. Ok so I missed one run my bad. Still was 3rd and 9 but whatever disagree with Coach Harsin. That was his respond to the question asked in the presser abounding the run. So I didn’t go look at the play sheet just went off his response so I guess he’s as much of a liar that Gus was…
