OK thanks. Glad I can relax now

No prob. We use signs to get our O plays in. I could tell you what they mean, but I don't know them.

Heck, our ball boys have a hard time running down the sideline without falling down

But, hey! He did out run the Tennessee kick coverage!

For the last time, LSU played in the rain too dude!!!!

Auburn cheats
Auburn got lucky in all the games that they have played it
The wins aren't real.
Sounds about right.

IMO if Mauk (who's a lot more gunslinger than Franklin who is a lot more collected and tries desperately to run) doesn't play, AU wins pretty handily

aTm stopped Mizzou pretty well with Franklin at QB, that's sad

Auburn...tell me more about your team Now I will give you the REAL lowdown without orange and blue glasses. They do have a very strong run game. Personally I would cover the WR's man and run blitz them back to the stone age. Marshall is not the most accurate on the short stuff. Defensively the weakness is at LB. Exploit them with your TE'S and wheel routes by your RB's making them play in space. Use your big WR's to keep the safeties backed up. They are good up front and fast off the edges. Decent in the secondary but exploitable.

What the frick do you think everyone in this thread said , you dilluted bastard?

Happy to if you'll post something similar.

Offense: Run heavy inside or zone option using a lot of veer or old school wing-T elements.

QB: Marshall (#14) is what a quarterback would have been in the 1950's. He's an excellent runner with a good grasp of the reads for the many option pieces and does them smoothly and quickly. He's just under a 60% passer with a huge arm that can get out of control. Not a touch passer but has had his biggest games against some of the better defenses we've played (MSU and LSU). As a runner he's the slipper guy that will take in outside the tackles as opposed to the Cam Newton power guy that rolls inside.

RB: Tre Mason #21(Tre la Soul, his dad is the DJ of De la Soul) is the main ball carrier and gets the assignment for the tough inside yards. He's fast and powerful running low behind his pads and always seems to fall forward. Of the backs he's the best all around. Good receiver too but we haven't used him for that this year. Corey Grant(#20)is the speed sweep guy who also does LOTS of fakes. He's the fastest on the team and almost exclusively runs to the outside. If he can get the corner he's gone and is averaging close to 10 yards a carry this year. Cameron Artis-Payne (#44) is the backup and gets some of the dirty late in the game carries against tired defenses. He's up the middle and powerful, no shake.

H-back: I can't figure out why we call this position H-back. We have an old school pure blocking fullback (#35) that is a devastating between the tackles blocker and a good out in space blocker. He's caught five passes and has no carries. Our other H-backs are true tight ends with Brandon Fulse (#11) is a pure blocking tight end in space used to set the edge or clear a deep lane. CJ Uzomah (#81) is the receiving tight end, he can block but isn't brilliant at it and has great hands, he should be watched in the end zone.

WR: In our offense these guys have the job of stretching the field and blocking. The best all around is Sammy Coates (#18) who is a strong and physical blocker, incredibly fast and leads the nation in yards per reception. Ricardo Louis (#5) is a big, physical and fast receiver that stretches the field for us but has inconsistent hands. He also runs a lot of end arounds or speed sweeps. Quan Bray (#4) catches outside screens or short passes and blocks well. Trovon Reed (#1) is a pure blocker as are a few others.

OL: Our offensive line is probably the best in the country at run blocking. They do a lot of old school leverage blocking and straight ahead power. You don't get many zone concepts out of us. We frequently pull both guards (both in fakes and to do lead on the outside). Our center and left tackle are both truly exceptional at run blocking. The line is ok at pass blocking but they don't get asked to do that very much. Watch for Shon Coleman (#37), he was a top five offensive tackle out of high school that we line up as a tight end in our power set, if he and the fullback are in the game it is a run.

Defense: Base 4-2-5 with the nickel back being a "star" hybrid linebacker/safety. We don't blitz a lot but if we do it is probably the secondary or star doing it. Early in the game we play lots of zone normally switching to man/free in the second half when we realize our zone allows for easy passing.

DT: Starting from a weakness this has become a position of strength over the last couple of months. We rotate five players here frequently both to keep them fresh and to get specific personnel groupings. Gabe Wright (#90) is the best all around being a good run stopper and pass rusher with a big body to handle double teams. Nosa Egua (#94) was a very large end that has been moved inside, he's strong on technique but isn't huge. He tends to be the clean up guy when Wright forces double teams. He's also in the "cheetah" set of pass rushing linemen on third and long. Ben Bradley (#50) is the classic plug in the middle, he doesn't get a lot of stats but doesn't move backwards much. Angelo Blackson #98 is the most physically gifted but is inconsistant. Elijah Daniels (#97) is a true freshman recruited as a DE that has grown out of the position, he's the other guy in the "cheetah" set. Montravious Adams (#1) is another true freshman in the rotation, huge body and exceptional athlete he doesn't play a lot but impacts when he gets in.

DE: Most of our tackles for loss come from this position. We rotate heavily and have good pass rushers in all sets. Dee Ford (#30) is the best pass rusher and trails only your Sam in sacks for the year. He's not a huge guy but is a good tackler and exceptional athlete. Ladarious Owens (#10) is another guy that would be a linebacker for most teams, good but not great pass rusher and good tackler. Craig Sanders (#13) is a run stopping end that is a good tackler who plays out of control. Special teams demon. Carl Lawson (#55) is a gifted athlete that is playing off ability as a true freshman and building technique.He bull rushes well with good speed.

LB: This is the weakest part of the team. Our two guys in the middle are either good athletes with back technique or bad athletes with good technique. The OLB is better especially when @25 McKinzey is in, he's a good tackler and solid athlete. His backup is mostly known for a fake injury against Arky.

Star: This is our hybrid linebacker position. We use it in blitzes, covering slot receivers and general run stopping. Robinson Therezie (#27) is possibly our best defensive player. He hits hard and runs well in addition to leading the team in interceptions. His backups are all freshmen that are good athletes but out of control. Therezie is in a lot and part of lots of plays.

CB: Chris Davis (#11) is an elite cover corner and our team leading tackler. He's one of the best in the SEC all around. Mincey is the other corner and he's ok, I'd throw at him a lot. We only have one backup for this position who is coming back from a major injury but when healthy he's the second best.

S: I'll talk about all of them as a group since they are interchangable. Solid but not exceptional. Good tacklers that don't always take good angles. We've had so many injuries here these are the guys that are left. One of them gets lots of picks.

Special Teams: We might have the best in the SEC, if not we are close. We have blocked and harassed kickers, returned for touch downs multiple times from multiple players.

Kicker: Good at field goals with long range, amazing at kickoffs. Don't expect to return any.

Punter: Very impressive, he kicks just over 40 for his average but sends them so high the other team seldom has a chance to return.

PR: Chris Davis (of the 100 yard return against bama fame) is our punt returner. At one point he was leading the nation in average at well over 20 per attempt, I haven't looked lately.

KR: As a team we've averaging in the middle 20's here with a couple of TD returns.
