So your QBs reaction to blitzes has nothing to do with your QB? Didn’t you fools spend 2 weeks talking about how easy the SECC was gonna be?

Stidham was sacked 11 times verses Clemson, 7 times verses UGA in the SECCG, and 6 times verses UCF. I didn't even check the other games, but Stidham certainly did have a penchant for holding on to the ball and taking sacks. Maybe he learned and gets rid of the ball this year. Who knows? And we rushed the QB up the middle a lot last year, not just because you had a banged up RB.

Didn't read this thread, but our OL was very average last season. There was a huge difference when KJ was running the ball and everyone else...he sort of runs like LT and sees holes on the jump cut most backs don't see at the same time causing the LB's and run support DB's to commit to the original hole. When healthy he hid the weakness of our team.
I would agree...if we get decent OL play we will be a serious threat to win the SEC. However, I believe we are a long way from decent OL play. I am optimistic that the talent exist this season in the guys that will play...last season we were playing guys who had a ton of experience but weren't talented at an elite or above average level.

Try developing a capable back up next time, instead of runnning the one you have into the ground. Besides, it has nothing to do with Stidham missing a couple of wide open swing passes that would have hit for big gains beacuase he was wilting under the pressure

No one thought the SECCG was gonna be easy. But if Kerryon was healthy it would have been a different game. It just would have. Not only because we had no ability to grind out first downs without him but also because his pass blocking was extraordinary.

Notice that #21 didnt play in those games either.

Pretty sure Bama, Georgia and Washington will be top ten teams, Miss St probably top 15.
Auburn will have to beat someone good on the road. Couldn't do it with a better team last year, doubt it will happen this year.
Again, thanks for making my point.

Only missed one of those games. He was the leading ball carrier in the other two.

They will have to beat a good team on the road, you pretty much have to every year. The fact that AU played good teams on the road close last year means they are capable. You forget the two teams in the finals last year had problems beating a good team on the road. Those two games were not really close, so your comment about AU sucking on the road proves you are a dumbass.

Your teams failure to have a qualified back up is not a valid excuse. Georgia was able to grind out the clock in the 4th quarter of the SEC championship game without Sony Michel and with Chubb only getting 1 carry. The rest of the 7 plus minute drive was carried out by mostly Herrien and Holyfield, with a little bit of Swift. You probably did not notice because we didn’t put all our eggs in one basket

At times they looked very good, then other times very average, or below average.

He was a very patient runningback, in a good way. Once a hole opened up he hit the hole made great yardage. Patience is a rare trait in runningbacks, theses days and a trait more could use.
quote:Agree 100%. it can be done. Two years ago, our OLine play was below average, and last year t turned into a strength. So, it can be done.
I would agree...if we get decent OL play we will be a serious threat to win the SEC. However, I believe we are a long way from decent OL play.
quote:Very real possibility. Time will tell. As you said, your OLine play will be a huge key this year.

In fairness to Auburn Kerryon Johnson was the backup. Kam Pettway started the year and got hurt, then Johnson took over. Where Gus messed up, in my opinion, is not developing anyone behind Johnson, so when he got banged up he had no one else he trusted.

Really? Then you missed all the threads made by Auburn posters on this site and on the Auburn portion of the board leading up to the game. It really wouldn't take long for me to dig those up. I've done it before when some Auburn posters wanted to deny the overconfidence leading into the game.
quote:That depends on what you mean by different. he wasn't going to make a 21 point swing. And for some reason people want to forget the Players who got injured and missed time for Georgia in the game. Sony Michel for one, missed a good portion if not all of the 4th quarter.
But if Kerryon was healthy it would have been a different game.

He didn't play against Clemson, granted, but he would have made the difference in 11 sacks? Doubtful. That was OLine play.
Stidham was also sacked 3 times against a decent LSU team....with Kerryon's stellar blocking in the game, and he had a month to recover for the UCF game, and he played. In fact, he carried the ball 22 plays, so forget that when he played great pass blocking followed, because that simply isn't true. he might very well have been a good pass blocker, but it is the OLine we were saying caused many of the sacks.
Regardless, when Stidham got pressure, he tended to hang on to the ball too long and took needless sacks.

I actually agree with much of what you are saying, and yes we had trouble with Auburn on the road. However, we also played well on the road against Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Alabama. We looked like crap against Auburn, though.

UGAs Defense played like shite on the road, and that is Kirby’s forte.

It was the uga special teams more than anything that turned the first game into a blowout. This is proven by the fact that Auburn scored their first 3 tds right after ST errors.

Your comment has nothing to do with the conversation you’re jumping into.
