Sorry, but a 73-0 game skews the stats.

Yes, we played bad teams last year as well. We are working on developing the offense under Freeze's scheme. We are passing the ball, and it hasnt been pretty, but at least we are moving toward one day where Auburn football and passing offense aren't oil and water. Keiondre Lambert Smith may become our third ever 1000 yard receiver (last was in 1999.)

I certainly support you in your campaign to change your fanbase perception of Freeze.

Please be patient with Freeze.

You should’ve never fired Malzahn. Epic tragic blunder.

And you think Freeze's offense is archaic?

Please be as patient with Kane Wommack as well. Kane is a cool name for one. Secondly, yall gave a long leash to Pete Golding.

He played three different QBs against Auburn in one game while he was at USCe and dragged all three under the bus way more frequently. Our guys lead the nation in turnovers and people cry foul.


Was he right?

Spurrier would also blame himself at times.

Turnovers are real stats too.


Kind of the point of all of this. We are on a historic pace for turnovers. If we were just average in that category, things would be much different. That’s the reality we are in unfortunately and it has to get fixed, but it is overshadowing a lot of good progress with how abysmal the QB play has been in regards to interceptions.

I'm extremely impressed with him. Given the turnover and inexperience, his D has been really strong. Can't wait until they are hitting on all cylinders. They completely overwhelmed Beck in the first half. He looked like a true freshmen.

That said, it's hard to get a team as talented as UGA off the field when they are in go for it on 4th down mode opening up the second half. Wears the D out, which is what happened. Then, Bobo increased the tempo to exploit a tired D and inexperienced secondary. Great plan that just almost worked.

It's a transition. We are standing over the stove cooking sausage. Getting messy. grease sparks in our eyes, but it's gonna get done.

I've been watching. Turnovers are coming from receivers who are letting balls bounce off their hands into defenders. They are coming from WRs running the wrong routes. They are coming from your best running backs fumbling down on goal lines. They also are coming from Payton Thorne.

Hugh and every other losing coach in America gives their "it starts with us" spill twenty times a press conference. Hugh does that in between breaths and people still wonder why he doesn't take responsibility.

If the queen had balls she'd be the king....

Maybe don't turn the ball over so often maybe don't throw pick sixes.
