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.
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.
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.
Gotta be motivating to the defense when we can actually put some points on the board after a turnover. Hope they force another so we can tire their D out.
I hope we score first and more often than WV.
ReplyDeleteReady for this thing to get rolling.
ReplyDeleteWho's with me?
LET"S GO LET"S GO!!!!
ReplyDeleteWAR EAGLE!!!!
ReplyDeleteLets Roll. I'll be posting in the braaks. Gotta have the faith tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe inflatable helmet does look lame. We go on D first, so we need a quick 3 and out.
ReplyDeleteJay....How did you miss Erin Andrews?
ReplyDeleteHope to see some rejuvenated AU TIGERS tonight...
ReplyDeleteI'm not very smart, that's why.
ReplyDeleteWVU taking the ball 1st
ReplyDeleteNice to see Tubs in Texas Orange
ReplyDeletetuberville looks like he's prepared to play in alaska.
ReplyDeleteLots of yellow....
ReplyDeletePretty pumped, war eagle guys!
tubbs is cold!! haha just funny
ReplyDeleteImagine that, an inauspicious start...
ReplyDeletenot a good start. Not quite sure what that kick was
ReplyDeleteHeck of a start there.
ReplyDelete1st Yuengling in hand as the ball is kicked! Oh man!
ReplyDeleteMore like Oh Crap!
ReplyDeleteTub 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.
ReplyDeleteLovecrafty, you're killin' me.
ReplyDeleteWareagle, you can help hook me up with the right link after the game or another time. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHe said that?
ReplyDeleteI need that quote!
I wish he was that "real".
ReplyDeleteIt was in the pre-game interview on the radio.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they archive it, and I don't have the exact quote.
Ran right by Bynes
ReplyDeleteBut it was in the 2nd segment of the pre-game interview.
ReplyDeleteWell glad cutbacks still kill our D.
Well, this is going to be a great night.
ReplyDeleteWV is making this look easy.
ReplyDeleteThis is not looking good so far.
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES YES YES
ReplyDeleteYES! INT!INT!INT!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes yes. Way to go Bynes!!!!
ReplyDeleteDidn't Devine try to get into FSU too, but couldn't on grades?
ReplyDeletewhooooo!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pick. Dodged a bullet there.
ReplyDeleteAHH! that better!
ReplyDeletewar damn eagle JOSH BYNES! SWEET!
ReplyDeleteWell we can't have the D have a let down...We just had one vs Ark last time out.
ReplyDeleteGreat play by Bynes to bail us out.
Well that went no where.
ReplyDeleteVery nice play from Bynes.
ReplyDeleteHe's quite intuitive.
Nice pick up!
ReplyDeletelucky, there. got some extra yards at least
ReplyDeleteBosley saves the day for AU.
ReplyDeleteWOW! AGAIN!
ReplyDeleteBynes looked like he was in slow motion on the first couple of plays.
ReplyDeleteHow did we get that ball back?
ReplyDeleteFIrst down!!!!
ReplyDeletehe was down
ReplyDeleteMethinks someone from WfVU stole our offensive playbook.
ReplyDeleteLester running like a wild man. I like it.
ReplyDeleteINT by Bynes.
ReplyDeleteThey are as good as advertised against the run.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the ground caused that fumble.
ReplyDeleteugly throw. good throw gets a first down.
ReplyDeleteDid Todd just throw that?
ReplyDeleteBurns again throwing at peoples ankles.
ReplyDeleteJohnny is on a big delay apparently... or dial-up.
ReplyDeleteThat pass looked incomplete nice break.
ReplyDeleteWe've gotten 2 lucky calls this drive. Got to get some points!
ReplyDeleteThere's your token Fannin carry!
ReplyDeleteRefs helping us on this 1st drive...great job of getting the ball snapped by Auburn before a review.
ReplyDeleteThey are getting major push through our line. Backs are making plays though.
ReplyDeleteDamn we got lucky on that catch call!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteRefs again help us, that should be grounding.
ReplyDeleteBig play. Nice.
ReplyDeleteFREE KODI BURNS!
ReplyDeleteATTA WAY KODI
ReplyDeleteNice play Kodi.
ReplyDeleteNice run by Kodi, but he still looked like he was falling the whole way.
ReplyDeleteNice run by Kodi, but he still looked like he was falling the whole way.
ReplyDeleteMark May has called Kodi Tebow and Pat White
ReplyDeleteKodi!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was the Burns we were looking for...he usually falls down if someone sneezes near him.
ReplyDeleteTristan Davis at fullback.
ReplyDeleteInteresting...
HELLS YES, BURNS!
ReplyDeletePower I football.
ReplyDeleteAre you happy?
Wow 2 Fannin carries in the same drive. I must be dreaming...
ReplyDeleteWhere's Ben Tate?
ReplyDeletefannin has alread gotten 200% more touches than against arkansas.
ReplyDeleteWe've ran more than 3 plays on this drive, so that's a positive.
ReplyDeleteNeed a QB sneak here.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy. Go for it.
ReplyDeleteDang, what are we paying these refs?
ReplyDeletelol
kodi has got 20/20
ReplyDeleteIf they're going to run 45 times, Auburn has to save someone for the second half.
ReplyDeletewhoever did the refs before the game, nice work
ReplyDelete4/4 on third down, this is amazing.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Jay G.
ReplyDeleteLot of blockers standing around on that play not hitting anyone...reminded me of King Dunlap.
ReplyDeleteAUsome cutback by Brad.
ReplyDeleteBest first drive in a long, long while.
ReplyDeleteWe might need to at least do a play action to keep the D from just lining up on the line of scrimmage.
ReplyDeleteFANNIN!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuper Wario!!!
ReplyDeleteSome GREAT cut back lanes tonight for the backs!
ReplyDeleteBetter question, Why hasn't Mike Berry been playing?
ReplyDeleteWow, we are 118th in the NCAA in redzone offense. 15 scores in 25 attempts.
ReplyDeleteWe need to fix that.
Let's see another pass to Trott
ReplyDeleteMike Berry has been great on this drive.
ReplyDeleteOr hell give it to Fannen
ReplyDeleteMissed it by that much
ReplyDeletekodi sneak?
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we ever toss it here?
ReplyDeleteFour down territory now.
ReplyDelete18 plays on our opening drive? Wow.
ReplyDeleteThis is a big confidence builder on this play.
ReplyDeleteI go for it here
ReplyDeleteDang it. Ran the wrong way.
ReplyDeleteTerrible camera angle.
ReplyDeleteWell, that was hideous.
ReplyDeleteThey're plugging up the middle, toss it to the outside and we're in.
ReplyDeleteWow, still cant score from the 1 yard line. Pa. The. Tic.
ReplyDeleteWell that took a lot of time.
ReplyDelete20 play drive.
ReplyDeleteHell, we haven't run 20 plays in some quarters this year.
Nice work. Even if it was only 3.
20 plays, 9:54 possession.
ReplyDeleteThat's power football.
So CTT is apparently playing for the 3-X win tonight. He must not have gotten the Colonial Bank memo about his job...
ReplyDeletesatisfied
ReplyDelete20 play drive? u kidding me? sucks we got stopped. looked nice, though.
ReplyDeletethank god he made it.
ReplyDeletenice drive. 3 points? i'll take it.
It's nice to see a sustained drive that actually GAINS yards, rather than losing them
I think I notice a tad bit more power football going on.
ReplyDeleteUgh. We won't win this one on field goals.
ReplyDeleteAll 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.
ReplyDeleteNow come on D. Go out and play.
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.
ReplyDeleteI hope this doesn't come back to haunt us.
Nice looking drive until the very end.
Well ... that wasn't terrible.
ReplyDeleteNice to see that long drive. Now we need the d to get the ball back!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, Vandy plugged the middle on the first drive against them. Anything here seem familiar?!
ReplyDeleteLove the drive, but they've got to finish.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Chick-Fil-A commercial with Bo.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteYes the drive looked good, damn good, except for the debacle of a third down play on the goal line.
ReplyDeleteAu 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.
the BO commercical was pretty bad ass. pimp yo.
ReplyDeleteI disagree about going for it. The field goal was the right call because we were more than a yard out.
ReplyDeleteTuberville is making a statement:
ReplyDeleteIf he's going down, he's going down running what he likes.
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.
ReplyDeleteHowever at some point, Kodi is going to have to throw the ball...as scary as that thought is.
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.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeletenice drive better a fg than a int.
ReplyDeleteBingo, Jay G.
ReplyDeleteNice play Tez...
ReplyDeleteTez!
ReplyDeleteThat a baby D!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYES! THANK YOU DEFENSE!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHELL YEAH
ReplyDeleteHoly cow. TWO????
ReplyDeleteNice pick
ReplyDeleteThat's what I asked for!
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteATTA BOY WALT!
ReplyDeletePat White is going to be skiddish from here on. Thats great.
ReplyDeleteThink McFadden was a little happy? See that sideline bear hug to Rhoades?
ReplyDeleteDid Chris Todd transfer to WVU this week?
ReplyDeleteWe need 6 on this one...
ReplyDeleteI'd throw on 1st down to shock them.
Anyone noticed that Burns always keeps the ball in his right arm?
ReplyDeleteMore Borges Spread there.
ReplyDeleteGreat first quarter. Lets have 3 more.
ReplyDeleteGood 1st quarter so far.
ReplyDeleteTubs looks way more enthusiastic than usual.
ReplyDeleteI like that.
I wouldn't say "great", it was good.
ReplyDeleteGreat would have us up 7-0
RK - get real - relative to Vandy that was a fan frekin tastic 1st qtr
ReplyDeleteCan you say ball control?
ReplyDeleteNo, that was pretty much the same 1st quarter we had against Vandy.
ReplyDeleteI'm just being real, no need to get there.
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.
ReplyDeleteright now, i'd say we have a shot. unfortunately, i've got to head out to a concert, so i'll have to record the 2nd half. check y'all later.
ReplyDeletewow time of poss. is gonna be huge. That WV D is gettin worn out.
ReplyDeleteNice play call..
ReplyDeleteVery nice
YES SIR! Right there, lovin me some of that.
ReplyDeleteYEAAHHHH BOYYYEEEEE!!!
ReplyDeleteI dont think I have seen our O that excited after a score this year. Way to go boys. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteGotta be motivating to the defense when we can actually put some points on the board after a turnover. Hope they force another so we can tire their D out.
ReplyDeleteLooking good.
ReplyDeleteTony Franklin= Eliot Uzelac
I will explain later
Auburn seems to be pulling off some great plays every time I walk away from the TV. Guess what I'm gonna do now?
ReplyDeleteOOPS, Horsecollar tackle I bet
ReplyDeleteI hate they got on the board
ReplyDeletebut idont think they can score inside the 10
ReplyDeletei mean a TD of course
ReplyDeleteYES! Kodi is looking pretty durn HOT!
ReplyDelete
