Coleman was past two guys on one play and could have caught and walked in but he had to run back past the two guys to get the pass on one play. Don’t know if that was by design or just Coleman realizing JA wasn’t going there.

At 3:50

Maybe, maybe not.

Maybe he won't have to.

Auburn found plenty of success with Nick Marshall not being a drop-back passer.

There was a field safety on top of that play, you see him at the very end of the play, obviously Coleman realized it and came back to the soft spot in the zone.

The next play was also a thing of beauty, that was a beautiful read on the rpo by Arnold.

You guys are picking the fly shite out of the pepper, Arnold had a very good game......after the OL stopped sleep walking. WTF was that first series?

I see why Freeze said we need work on drop back passing, it aint the QB its blocking assignments by the line.

I too am estatic that when Arnold lets it go, there is no panic until you see where the ball is going

I see that now, but while not a walk in, if the ball is on Cam or to his right it’s a much bigger play. JA didn’t see it. But kudos to JA seeing him coming back up.

He could force teams to respect the deep ball.

Last night Ball State was lining up 10 yards off the WRs and dropping when the ball was snapped. If that ain’t respect for the deep ball I’m not sure what is.

If we were a tempo team I would like to see more big plays but since we run a little clock as well between snaps I love this grind it out, safe passes they are giving us and just wearing defenses down.

There was no offensive game plan last night. They were just running scrimmage plays. Ball state is terrible.

I think JA looks incredible for his first 2 games in this offense.

Hapless teams with inferior players will always sag and play to make the offense stay in front. That says more about the receivers than anything.

If anyone sees another compilation of Arnold throws post it, and lets scrutinize together over a coke.

Why run a play that might be not successful when they are giving you 10 yards on the stop route?

We took 1 deep shot to Malcolm it was poorly time thrown into double coverage and short. If we’d have done that 10 times and connected on 3 big plays would we know anyone more other then JA is putting the ball in harms way? So may the stat line on 50 yard bond is 3 for 10 , 130 more yards but 2 INTs.

I’ll take the dink and dunk down the field all day.

I am not impressed with the zip on the short routes to be clear.

I'll take score and score fast with dynamic receivers that can affect the game before we either shoot ourselves in the foot and blow a whole drive up, or we get robbed by the refs. Greater likelihood of playing clean.

I’m not sure what to tell anyone to convince them JA is good.

He passes all the questions I had so far. Once we get into conference play we will have to judge him based on that but after 2 games I don’t know what more anyone could want from the QB position.

I’m surprised the talking coming out of the game is about JA and not how absolute atrocious and unprepared Deuce looked. Especially if he is getting 2nd teams reps in practice.

It'll come. You just cant force it or as Freeze would say, be patient, not greedy and take what the defense gives you.

Our passing attack isn’t going to carry us but I believe it can and will be competent

Don t come at me with AUfamily stuff bro.

We won against Baylor because we asked our QB to act like a RB. The Baylor game is not a bar exam- where if you pass youre good then and for the future as well. Success is rented. We are allowed to look ahead.


Chex I think he will get better but he is not as dynamic as I thought. He pretty much won every HS award possible

If he can be half-competent passing the ball to complement his legs we can win 9.

And half competent passing isnt a high bar. Luke Altmyer type stuff.

I am disappointed in the passing game up to this point but anybody that reads half of my posts know I wanted a passing game to tick. I also have a 50
dollar bet that Jackson Arnold hits 3200 passing yards and I am pour.

We haven’t seen a lot of long vertical throws in the passing game. It’s a lot of short to medium catch and run plays.


I remember when we used to complain about the opposite.

We all should enjoy the win but I remember scoring 77 on teams like Ball State with Jason Campbell on multiple deep strikes.

He also had a dominant defense that got turnovers. I’m so sick the defense not getting turnovers unless the opposing QB has butterfingers and just drops the ball. Where is this outstanding secondary we’ve heard about all offseason? Baylor throws 100 passes and not one interception.

its been two games. Also, we run the RPO game. its a quick attack scheme, not a drop back, sling it around offense.
