First quarter: AU 13-0

First quarter from Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, Tenn. ...
  • AUBURN 13, VANDERBILT 0: Todd to Mario Fannin for 28 yards. Only two plays on that drive. Nice pass on the post pattern to split two defenders. Wes Byrum missed the PAT kick wide right. (Wow.) Short prefaced by diving pick from Jerraud Powers.

  • AUBURN 7, VANDERBILT 0: Chris Todd to Rod Smith for 7 yards on the score. Other stats: 9 plays (6 runs for 33 yards; 2 of 3 passes for 9 yards) ... also a facemask penalty.

  • Andrew McCain in at RT.

  • Auburn came out with the power game. Ace formation. Ben Tate. Straight ahead. First three plays: 14 yards, 13 yards, 13 yards. The drive stalled at the 1, though, and the Tigers were stuffed on 4th-and-G from the 1. Ouch.

  7. Maybe a pass this drive? It would give Tate a breather between first downs.

    AU may not pass all night eating up yards like this.

  12. Who said the campfire left? we could keep this going. Well, I guess Lester will give a break on first downs to get a first down.

    Is Vandy going with ONE down lineman on defense against the spread?

  25. Wes Byrum misses the PAT kick.

    Oh boy.

    (Really nice pick by Jerraud Powers to set that up.)

    Hard to complain about the hyrbid attack, gang. It's better than I thought it could/would be so far.

  28. I'll say this all day: Vandy cannot and will not run against this front 7.

    Hard to do anything when compromised like that.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Paul Roades is doing an awesome job with these guys.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Luckily the front 7 helps to disguise some of our weakness in the secondary...

    ReplyDelete
  31. what's the deal with byrum? how long can Tubs stick with him?

    ReplyDelete
  32. do we even have a different kicker?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Can anyone confirm the existence of Morgan Hull?

    Someone ought to tell the commentators that the defender who facemasked the Vandy guy was being blocked in the back.

    He wasn't trying to get his hands that far in his facemask.

  35. Can you all see the "Second Quarter" post? I'm worried that there aren't any comments over there ...
