Second quarter, AU 17-3

We're discussing the second quarter of Auburn's game at West Virginia.

Through one quarter...
TIME OF POSSESSION
AU -- 11:59
WV -- 3:01

  • AUBURN 17, WVU 10: Alric Arnett catches a 44-yard pass from Pat White. Four plays, 78 yards in 1:31. The Tigers' defense is yielding a lot of yards in a short period of time.

  • AUBURN 17, WVU 3: Burns scores on a 9-yard run. Auburn took possession on the WVU 31 after a long KOR by Mario Fannin. Two plays: A wheel-route throw to Tristan Davis for 22 yards, Burns' run. This is best-case scenario for the Tigers.

  • AUBURN 10, WVU 3: Pat McAfee 23 FG. Two long runs to open the drive (plus a personal-foul flag against Zac Etheridge) moves the Mountaineers inside the 10. They can't finish, settle for a field goal.

  • AUBURN 10, WVU 0: Brad Lester scores on a 16-yard screen pass from Kodi Burns. The play was prefaced by an interception -- the Tigers' second of the night -- by Walt McFadden. Auburn took possession at the WVU 28.

  2. Let's keep it up. Where has Mike Berry been.

    ReplyDelete
  3. Gotta keep it up. We need to put it in the end zone. Byrum can't win this one.

  4. Berry is quicker than Isom ... and Berry is pulling a lot tonight.

  9. Monica,

    You said get real and said it was a far cry from Vandy...

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

    I'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.

  15. Yes, a screen pass that works

    ReplyDelete
  16. FYI ... the 20-play drive in the first quarter ... longest scoring drive in documented Auburn history.

    Records go back to 1970.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Awesome! Now we're in business.

    ReplyDelete
  18. There is hope after all!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, that means we actually set a positive school offensive record for the 1st time this year.

    I think we might have set several in the other direction.

    Oh well.

    Nice play call on the screen.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I would have thought that drive against Carolina a few years back would have been longer in terms of time. I think the drive took almost the whole 3rd quarter.

    with the exception of kicking a field goal on the first drive, this is just like the vandy game....

    ReplyDelete
  24. The longest drive in documented history? That is AUsome!

    ReplyDelete
  25. RK: FYI ... the 20-play drive in the first quarter ... longest scoring drive in documented Auburn history.

    nope, that's not like the Vandy game, but whatever

    WDE

    ReplyDelete
  26. Keep it up Defense!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think against Carolina that onside kick changed possession then we recovered. So it wasn't one drive, it was two separate drives.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Noel Devine: Could play for me.

    ReplyDelete
  29. The scenario is the same as it was vs Vandy. We just have to sustain it.

    It's not that different from the Vandy start...it's how we follow up that matters.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Thanks for the refresher RK, I had forgotten about the onside kick.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Devine takes flips the field.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Can we get White to pass again, please.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Noel Devine had to be the most hyped HS Freshman ever.

  35. Great D on third down.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Good job D!

    So during this 1st quarter & change...how many BB players have received checks from Bob Huggins? How many have commited a crime?

    ReplyDelete
  37. BIG time stop there on D. Nice to see AC come out to play.

    ReplyDelete
  38. We have got to keep Devine in check.

    ReplyDelete
  39. OK. Now we need another nice, LONG, scoring drive. Let's go Tigers!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Whoever called Tubb's jacket Texas orange that's all I can see now! ha

    ReplyDelete
  41. Great stand by the D to keep em out. Don't look now, but this is starting to look like an AU football team.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I did Monica. Apparently Under Armour doesn't make Auburn artic Jackets for Alabama.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Maybe CWM sent CTT the jacket?

    I think the reason Tommy Tuberville is so motivated to win this game is because he knows it will get him an interview with Erin Andrews.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Tub does look ready for a Siberian vacation.

    ReplyDelete
  46. i hate they scored but i dont think they can score a TD inside the 10

    ReplyDelete
  47. Maybe this is The Wario Break-Out Game.

    Fannin = BEAST. If he isn't indecisive in the end zone, thats a TD

  75. So...guess Tubs made the right call on that whole OC thing. What was that fella's name?

    ReplyDelete
  76. You gotta give it up for Ensminger ... he's getting it done. This is smart stuff we're seeing.

    ReplyDelete
  77. 17 points and it isn't half! Don't let up Auburn. Keep it going.

    ReplyDelete
  78. We actually have 17 points and it ain't halftime. Something must be wrong. How many teams have we not scored 17 points on in the entire game?

    ReplyDelete
  79. So I said, "Dang! What in the hell is going on. We haven't done this all year."

    Then my 62 year old mama says, "Well, we've been playing with a QB who can't throw and an offense that doesn't work."

    I said "huh ... good point mom."

    12 yard pass?

    read option?

    ReplyDelete
  97. Too bad we couldn't move it, but I really like what I'm seeing. The reverse was there if we don't slip.

    ReplyDelete
  98. Don't say smells like Vandy, you'll be told to get real.

  99. Did the wind get that punt?

    ReplyDelete
  100. syracuse was in a dome - they said most north we've played outside

    ReplyDelete
  101. Without Pat white and Devine they have nothing. How DID RichRod get Devine in school? I guess in a state where WVU gives the governors daughter a masters degree anything is possible.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Sensi: Check your email.

  103. Can't we put a spy on Divine?
