First Quarter, AU 3-0

We're discussing the first quarter of Auburn's game at West Virginia.
  • AUBURN 3, WVU 0: Wes Byrum 19 FG. That's the new Auburn. They're running I, ace and the occasional shotgun formation. This drive stalled at the 1-yard line, but it lasted 20 plays and 9:54. I haven't seen that from the Tigers this year: Toughness.

  1. I hope we score first and more often than WV.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Heck of a start there.

    ReplyDelete
  17. 1st Yuengling in hand as the ball is kicked! Oh man!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Tub said in the pre-game that he doesn't know how Devine got in school, because they tried to get him in at Auburn and couldn't.

  20. Wareagle, you can help hook me up with the right link after the game or another time. Thank you!

  21. He said that?

    I need that quote!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I wish he was that "real".

    ReplyDelete
  23. It was in the pre-game interview on the radio.

    I don't know if they archive it, and I don't have the exact quote.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ran right by Bynes

    ReplyDelete
  25. But it was in the 2nd segment of the pre-game interview.

    Well glad cutbacks still kill our D.

  35. Well we can't have the D have a let down...We just had one vs Ark last time out.

    Great play by Bynes to bail us out.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Well that went no where.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Very nice play from Bynes.

    He's quite intuitive.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Bosley saves the day for AU.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Bynes looked like he was in slow motion on the first couple of plays.

    ReplyDelete
  41. How did we get that ball back?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Methinks someone from WfVU stole our offensive playbook.

    They are getting major push through our line. Backs are making plays though.

    Best first drive in a long, long while.

    ReplyDelete
  81. We might need to at least do a play action to keep the D from just lining up on the line of scrimmage.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Some GREAT cut back lanes tonight for the backs!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Better question, Why hasn't Mike Berry been playing?

    ReplyDelete
  84. Wow, we are 118th in the NCAA in redzone offense. 15 scores in 25 attempts.

    We need to fix that.

    ReplyDelete
  85. Let's see another pass to Trott

    Hell, we haven't run 20 plays in some quarters this year.

    Nice work. Even if it was only 3.

    ReplyDelete
  102. 20 plays, 9:54 possession.

    That's power football.

    ReplyDelete
  103. So CTT is apparently playing for the 3-X win tonight. He must not have gotten the Colonial Bank memo about his job...

    ReplyDelete
  104. 20 play drive? u kidding me? sucks we got stopped. looked nice, though.

    thank god he made it.

    nice drive. 3 points? i'll take it.

    It's nice to see a sustained drive that actually GAINS yards, rather than losing them

    ReplyDelete
  106. I think I notice a tad bit more power football going on.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Ugh. We won't win this one on field goals.

    ReplyDelete
  108. All right guys. That was a great first drive except for our problem all year of not finishing it. The offensive line is getting a push and we are running it up the middle. That is Auburn Football.

    Now come on D. Go out and play.

    ReplyDelete
  109. Our redzone struggles still continue. I don't get it. We can't get 4 yards in 3 plays. It's been that way all year long.

    I hope this doesn't come back to haunt us.

    Nice looking drive until the very end.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Well ... that wasn't terrible.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Nice to see that long drive. Now we need the d to get the ball back!

    ReplyDelete
  112. Let's see, Vandy plugged the middle on the first drive against them. Anything here seem familiar?!

    ReplyDelete
  113. Love the drive, but they've got to finish.

    ReplyDelete
  114. Awesome Chick-Fil-A commercial with Bo.

    ReplyDelete
  115. I am thrilled,regardless of the field goal. All I really wanted to see was us be able to move the ball and run some clock.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Yes the drive looked good, damn good, except for the debacle of a third down play on the goal line.

    Au is right, we won't win by settling for FGs. CTT need to GAMBLE some, and IMO that was a good place to roll those dice.

    ReplyDelete
  117. the BO commercical was pretty bad ass. pimp yo.

    ReplyDelete
  118. I disagree about going for it. The field goal was the right call because we were more than a yard out.

    ReplyDelete
  119. Tuberville is making a statement:

    If he's going down, he's going down running what he likes.

    ReplyDelete
  120. I don't think this will be like the Vandy game and we take what was working, then suddenly go away from it for the rest of the game.

    However at some point, Kodi is going to have to throw the ball...as scary as that thought is.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Anonymous7:10 PM

    i just think Auburn should have tried for the TD, because the way WVU moved the ball, i have a feeling they won't be settling for field goals all that often.

    ReplyDelete
  122. I'm fine with the FG call...I just think it's not good that we can't get 4 yards in 3 plays when we need it.

  141. No, that was pretty much the same 1st quarter we had against Vandy.

    I'm just being real, no need to get there.

    ReplyDelete
  142. If you remember against Vandy we were up 13-0 after three drives...and that was with a 1st drive where we got stopped on the goalline 4 times.
