re: Auburn had 90 yards rushing at halftime

I don't think any other SEC team we played runs the ball the way they do. They use so much misdirection that you need an extra guy in the box from the start. With as bad as they had been passing the ball, we should have wanted them to do it more.

Agree, holding them to 90 was huge. Saban obviously was on the bend, don't break plan the first half. The last thing you want is for Auburn to get into rhythm passing and keep you guessing on early downs.
