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.

WAR DAMN 2ND QTR!
Let's keep it up. Where has Mike Berry been.
Gotta keep it up. We need to put it in the end zone. Byrum can't win this one.
Berry is quicker than Isom ... and Berry is pulling a lot tonight.
Boy, there are some rough looking people in the crowd.
FWIW ... Ben Tate is over there in the usual game-day garb.
Nice run by Smith.
Eric Smith bringing the thunder..
15 straight runs...nice
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.
Touchdown Auburn!!!!
Hell yea!!
That's what I'm talking about Willis!
TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you see Tyrone's block?
HELL YEAH!!!!
WAR KODI AND WAR LESTER
Yes, a screen pass that works
FYI ... the 20-play drive in the first quarter ... longest scoring drive in documented Auburn history.
Records go back to 1970.
Awesome! Now we're in business.
There is hope after all!
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.
Ok I've been posting to myself in the other thread...
Oh well.
Nice play call on the screen.
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.
I love Nick Saban's feathered bangs. He is so inspirational.
with the exception of kicking a field goal on the first drive, this is just like the vandy game....
The longest drive in documented history? That is AUsome!
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
Keep it up Defense!!!!!!!!
I think against Carolina that onside kick changed possession then we recovered. So it wasn't one drive, it was two separate drives.
Noel Devine: Could play for me.
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.
Thanks for the refresher RK, I had forgotten about the onside kick.
Come on D.
Devine takes flips the field.
Can we get White to pass again, please.
Noel Devine had to be the most hyped HS Freshman ever.
holding to a FG here is huge.
nice. bend, don't break.
Good stand.
Great D on third down.
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?
BIG time stop there on D. Nice to see AC come out to play.
We have got to keep Devine in check.
OK. Now we need another nice, LONG, scoring drive. Let's go Tigers!
Whoever called Tubb's jacket Texas orange that's all I can see now! ha
Great stand by the D to keep em out. Don't look now, but this is starting to look like an AU football team.
I did Monica. Apparently Under Armour doesn't make Auburn artic Jackets for Alabama.
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.
Tub does look ready for a Siberian vacation.
i hate they scored but i dont think they can score a TD inside the 10
Fannin!!!
SUPER FRAKIN WARIO!
Awesome return!!
Maybe this is The Wario Break-Out Game.
Fannin = BEAST. If he isn't indecisive in the end zone, thats a TD
Great job there Wario!
Lovin' the short field.
What a pass!!!
PLAYACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wheel route... reminds me of Ronnie Brown on that play.
whew. so many plays with positive yardage. I feel spoiled.
whew. so many plays with positive yardage. I feel spoiled.
TOUCHDOWN AUBURN!!!
Beautiful, man. just freaking beautiful.
IMPRESSIVE
Boy that was easy. I asked for a LONG drive, but I won't complain!
Touchdown!!!
Bootleg!!!
Rollin Baby!
Flashbacks to Carl Stewart! Atta boy Kodi!
Al Borges' offense doesn't look half bad, no?
COME ON BABY COME ON WHOOOO!!!!
Nag Dabbit!!! If we play this way against Arkansas or Vandy, we destroy them. Heck, LSU would have bitten the dust too.
Wow, imaginative play calling, proper blocking, execution. I am beginning to be impressed...
Loving this. Feels like it supposed to at AU.
I've been impressed with Kodi. He seems to be talking out there and firing everyone up.
All hail Enminger!!!
Ensminger, Ensminger, he's our man, if he can't do it, nobody can!!!
Just keep it going...don't stop here.
Kodi, doing the bull dance, Workin it, workin it, feelin the flow.
Al Borges looks fantastic right now! WDE!
Tuberville well on his way to saving his job tonight!
If we keep this going, we'll have a fresh Tate rolling all over them to finish the game.
I CAN'T HELP MYSELF......7!!! BAY 7!!!
FIre up D. Keep WV out of the end zone!
Nallsminger 2, A new beginning.
Kodi has been key in the fact that he hasn't done anything to lose the game.
No picks, no awful passes, no fumbles.
Nallsminger 2: Electric Boogaloo.
So...guess Tubs made the right call on that whole OC thing. What was that fella's name?
You gotta give it up for Ensminger ... he's getting it done. This is smart stuff we're seeing.
17 points and it isn't half! Don't let up Auburn. Keep it going.
Come on, 3 & out D
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?
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."
HOT DAMN, DA RIVERBOAT GAMBLER IS BACK!
onside kick!
Hello riverboat Gambler. Hell yeah!!!
Going for the knockout!!!
Holy Crap!!! Beat down time!!!
OH BOY!
Riverboat Gambler returns.
Riverboat gambler, heck yes!!!!
know how we never had the killer instinct against vandy and arkansas? WELL HERE IT IS!!!!
NO WAY. Love that Tuberville.
aw. a slip.
Riverboat!!!
Sweet daddy this is awesome, I don't care how bad WVU might be.
something's up with this field (or maybe our boys aren't used to getting to actually run)
Our reverses have sucked all year long.
That was just a bad call...why go against what had been working?
Smells Like Vandy...
BTW.... Did we not play Syracuse? Are they not in UPSTATE NY? What are these ESPN guys talkng about we do not go north.
I loved the wheel route on the last drive, that was awesome with R. Brown in 2004.
3rd and 16?
12 yard pass?
read option?
Too bad we couldn't move it, but I really like what I'm seeing. The reverse was there if we don't slip.
Don't say smells like Vandy, you'll be told to get real.
:-)
Did the wind get that punt?
syracuse was in a dome - they said most north we've played outside
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.
Sensi: Check your email.
Can't we put a spy on Divine?
D is getting beat on some long plays so far. I hope they shore it up.
We've got to find an answer for Devine, that kid can fly.
I don't understand why Pat White ever threw a pass.
Divine is "faster than a minute" according to Bramblett.
gotta contain Devine, or at least scare him a bit so he doesnt wanna run.
Devine's kinda fast.
Eddie, that is a good looking crowd, right? :-)
I think that last one was on Bynes. He usually makes up that which he screws up.
Anybody keying on Devine?
very impressive offensive gameplan so far. hope our D can stand tall.
Monica...it looks like a Tennesse crowd dressed in gold.
Duuhhh, didn't think of a separate thread for the 2nd quarter.
Crap.
How does he get that open?????
Safety missed assignment per White.
Where is the safety?
You're kidding. No way our offense gets it together just to see the defense blow it. Right? Right?
This could turn into a shootout. Who would have thought that?
27 points in the first half?? I could have made some money in vegas on the over and under.

McNeil bit.
that TD looked wwaaaayyyy too easy.
We got some younguns back there. They will learn.
Whoever was wanting White to throw: Please, in the future, be careful what you wish for!
The D has struggled in the last two games.
That one was on Mike McNeil.
That sucked.
So much for rest helping the D...They need to get it together.
I take it back. They should not let the WV crowd mate.
They will not rock us.
WVU fans = interesting breed.
They are bringing 8 up to the line.
exactly, Eddie
8 in the box .... run it up the middle
I think they gave us a bad spot there.
I like how this winter guy is stepping up
Winter??
Derek Winter, has he played before this game?
Trott caught another one!
This comment has been removed by the author.
Trott must think this is practice.
Is that more 3rd down conversions than we had all year?
would love to see a little Tate action
I think Winter played vs. Ark.
Eddie that's a great quote...
he had a few catches against ark.
i think he is from tampa
GETTIN FIRST DOWNS GETTIN FIRST DOWNS
Well, you knew it was a draw.
face mask, anyone?
Another MIA guy found: Quindarius Carr
GO FOR IT....
bill stewart is not none for his play clock work lmao
i saw it, cotton
I thought they grabbed Kodi's facemask.
Jay...I believe we are going to need a halftime thread.
Bill Stewart isn't a real head caoch.
smiles too much
Should have gone for it!
no, wartiger, he's not - bless his heart - he's very sweet -he reminds me of the guy who was the asst coach on the old sitcom Coach
Jay G is 81 suited up tonight? I haven't seen him on O and I don't think I've seen him on special teams.
Did durst just down the punt?
Luther!
Durst got it ... then "got it" from Tuberville when returning to the sideline.
another half time lead...ok breathe....breathe
nice defense.
Good job D!
Finally a sack!
Campfire beginning.
Does Clayton get a sack and an assist there?
Damn, except for giving up one big pass play, we're almost playing great football!
Oh no...Open it up the second half?
Conservative. Going to open it up the 2nd half. Is that what Tommy just said?
We on side kick.....but Don't go for it on 4th and short.....Not logical
