Why do we not seem to have D line players anymore who assert their will on the other teams offense? Did this start going wrong under Freeze? Haskins?

---

Recently, Kirby Smart, Saban, and Miami.

Out best line ever - Atlanta, Eastman, Ga, Pensacola, LaGrange, Ga Barnesville, Ga, - Etc.

Now if you are that concerned about it, just come up with a lot to donate to NIL.

ust accept it. Auburn sucks again and will not go to a bowl.

Make no mistake about it, this late September, mid afternoon game with the school from Tennessee will determine our bowl hopes. :rotflmao:

The offense played fine, also mistakes at key times, but they did enough.

---

I just can't buy into that - that they did enough. I'll give the offense credit for 14 points at home.
The game was over at 34 -17.

Mistakes happen, but it was a bad showing at key periods.

The first three attempts at drives were catastrophic - Pick on your side of the field after winning the toss (at home), 3 and out, then -14 yards from UF's 8.

I don't know how it could get much worse.

Then 3 and out when the pressure is on at the first possession of the 2nd half.

I've seen the "show" yards and TDs too many times.

Well at 13 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, we both had 6 possessions, yet our defense had been on the field for 69% of the clock. I believe that explains a lot.

Ohterwise, Buster Faulkner is a premium coach and also we only have slightly above average talent on defense (not NFL type).

Meh, we've been bad and unenjoyable, but as far as quantifying anything and declaring we are rock bottom, no one else plays Alabama and Georgia every year. Even the teams in the top 8 don't beat them regularly over the time period. Schedule matters.

Welp, given the amount of material available from wins over UF in Jordan-Hare, that video sucked.

The very end was funny, though.

I could care less about even thinking about solutions but

LOL at the SEC 9 game schedule. Then if you are tops you get to go to a championship game.

Middle to lower - tiers of other leagues are not even close to the SEC.

The problem isn't necessarily 5 or 6 real to tough games, but the other 3 or 4 SEC games are not cake walks.

1983 AU had Texas, FSU, Tennessee, UF, UGA, and UA. But the other five were pretty easy with USM, UK, Tech, Miss St. and Maryland.

Yes, so far, beyond disappointed there has been zero flow on offense.

Nervous about how much stock they seem to put in tempo. Can you ever grow the necessary offensive line going when your main emphasis seems to be going fast?

But it really doesn't matter because everyone knows you have to have success in 2 to 3 years and related to this the buy out is very reasonable (75% of remaining at $7M a year).

Yeah, kinda seems like the type to say " I don't have time to eat." (when given this chance of a lifetime). Not that things will definitely work out.

Then again, he is making bank, so why not take it.

This is the Durkin stuff that frustrates the hell out of me. Yes I get it is an air raid offense and all but one of our best DL is going into pass coverage close to 1/3 of his snaps on the field. That is way too damn high.

---

First of all, the drops are way closer to 1/4 of the time as opposed 1/3 - difference of 10 - 13 snaps. Significant difference.

Secondly, these drops resulted in a turnover in decent field position.
Proven facts - turnovers change results in games. Strict sacks do not.
Proven that hurries are just as good as sacks. So someone else can produce a hurry.

If you get one turnover for every 20 executed procedures, you will basically win all games. Will never happen but speaks to effectiveness.

24 - 10

We'll hold them to 10 because DJ will learn and tighten up coverage by two yards.
