CorchJay hit the nail on the head. All season I have felt playing touch football in practice results in coach comments about how good practice was and how good this one or that one looked.
Come game time it is a different story, no stroll in the park waiting for a receiver to come open .
14 point lead

You raise a fair point, but those teams have enough depth that they can afford to practice full contact every week, all week. If a player gets dinged in practice, there’s not much fall off to bring another 4-star off the bench while the starter heals.
I seriously questAuburn’s current ability to replicate that practice. Prolly another year or two away … just my dos centavos

We can’t… our talent is few and far between with 75%of the roster at sunbelt conference level. We can’t hit in practice because we don’t have depth. Every g as me minus one this season was lost in the 4th qt despite our sh$try qb play

It isn't happening this year. Maybe next year when a bunch of these young guys have a season under their belt and are ready to step up and be leaders.
We have NO leadership on this team. The handful of upperclassmen we have who play look like they are just going through the motions and honestly, they probably have PTSD from the last 3-4 years, or they have just transferred in and haven't spent any time around the team to earn leadership respect. The young guys are still trying to figure out their places and haven't been here long enough to feel comfortable getting in somebody's face.
Without a couple of guys on both sides of the ball who will grab somebody by the facemask and tell them to saddle up and ride with me, the whole team is just looking around waiting for someone else to make a play.
That's the difference in teams who find ways to win vs. those who find ways to lose IMHO.

Complete bullshite and you know it. 75% of our roster is Sun Belt talent? Explain the analysis that went into this figure that you pulled out of your arse.
Apart from Robert Lewis and Keyron Crawford (who barely plays), every transfer that Hugh Freeze brought in last season was from a P5 team. Next you're going to state that these guys are all just really bad P5 players, right? Percy Lewis started in the SEC last season and was a prized JUCO recruit. He has regressed badly at Auburn. Dorian Mausi was a starting LB at Duke under Elko while they were making noise and winning games (hence why Elko is now at A&M).
This team is blowing games because we are poorly coached and poorly prepared. Our coaches make questionable if not idiotic play-calls on both offense and defense in pivotal situations. Do you want me to believe that the defense had no problem stopping Missouri drive after drive, but then magically on the last drive of the game they got too tired to stop a 95-yard drive? Someone else pointed it out in another thread: it was 3rd and 10 on MIzzou's ~30 yard line, and we line up our DB with a 7-yard cushion on Luther Burden. Just idiotic. Brady Cook ran for a 1st down because a defender completely left containment to try to sack him - again, this is poor coaching.
What do you want me to believe? That Vanderbilt has talent and depth? What, with their lights out recruiting they are 4-deep and can hit in practice LOL? They are just littered with SEC players at every position? GTFO.

Everybody keeps wanting to make up there own complicated reasons why we're losing the game and it's pretty simple. We have Noone that can run the offense. Hugh doesn't have a plan B. It's rpo or die. It'd be cool and he'd be a better coach of he had a deeper bag but he doesn't.
Doesn't mean he can't be successful going forward with a qb that can run his O.
Sickness of losing is a real thing and it's definitely affecting this team but that is in no way a death penalty for the program.
I wish he could rally the guys just like yall do. He'd be a better coach if he did. But idk what they're supposed to rally around. Bc the new strat on offense is worse than the old one.
Doesn't mean we can't be successful with a good qb and some coaching on the o-line next year.

The excuse "our roster was depleted with ex coaches not recruiting is getting old". The roster is still full of better athletes than a lot of other teams in the country who are doing far more with less talent. I suppose those other schools just have what half the auburn fans are bitching about....BETTER COACHES!. I've said this forever. Why can other schools loaded with 2-3 star talent look like they have a game plan and can execute but auburn can't? Maybe we are cursed. Maybe coaches know they can come here and half arse do their jobs and still make millions.

Auburn leadership is the main issue and then it’s CHF next
Jay Jacobs wasn’t the problem that many thought he was
We now have a baseball guy that graduated from Miss St leading our athletic department and even our baseball program has taken a hit
Butch Thompson is a hell of a baseball coach
And we KNOW how great Bruce Pearl is but even the basketball program has slipped in recent years
This is the big picture

Alabama may win the national title, but Auburn is going to be really good this year.
