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.

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

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.

Yes, a screen pass that works

7:21 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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.

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.

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

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

7:24 PM  
Blogger Eddie McCoy said...

Keep it up Defense!!!!!!!!

7:24 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

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

7:24 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Noel Devine: Could play for me.

7:25 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

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.

7:26 PM  
Blogger James in Auburn said...

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

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

7:29 PM

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!

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

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.

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."
