re: Auburn didn’t convert a single third down yesterday

Our offense is easy to defend and it seems we only have about 3 basic plays. Drop back without a pocket and hope someone gets open 40 yards down field. QB keeper up the middle. Tailback up the gut sometimes. Most Rec ball teams mix it up better.
There’s no two back formations for short yardage, no shovel passes, no toss sweeps, no misdirection, no bootlegs, no bubble screens or draw plays to counter the blitz.
It’s really a shame with the talent we have to run such a stupid vanilla scheme.

re: I hate to beat a dead horse, but will Auburn ever regain relevance as a football program?

Auburn’s offense was just too complicated for Payton Thorn’s talent level. Plays were taking too long to develop and too many were low percentage plays anyway. Standing in the pocket for 5 seconds trying hit guys 40 yards downfield is not going to cut it in the SEC. We were able to move the chains in the few games that we called shorter passing plays and ran the ball more often. We had no answer to being blitzed. Why we didn’t throw bubble screens or run the draw play is beyond me? Defense played well enough to win more games.
