Third quarter, WVU 10-17

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

  • WVU 20, AU 17: Dorrell Jalloh catches a 3-yard pass from White for a score. The Mountaineers now have scored 17 straight points. This is also the fourth time this season Auburn has lost a double-digit lead.

  • AUBURN 17, WVU 13: McAfee 42 FG. The Mountaineers converted their first two third-down situations to keep a slow drive alive.

  7. Crap. Good throw,

    ReplyDelete
  8. Does anyone run the sideline/out of bounds route more than #23?

    ReplyDelete
  9. That was a great pass from Burns, though.

    ReplyDelete
  10. How many times has the other team fumbled the ball on the punts and we not get it?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Big 3rd down here.

    ReplyDelete
  12. We need the D to get their assignments right and get things in order.

    ReplyDelete
  13. run right, run left, throw it, punt.

    ReplyDelete
  14. We need the Defense to play. It has not showed up for much of this game so far.

    However that could be very easy offensive interference.

  35. Alright offense, get your swagger back...

    We had the one 20 play drive then two short fields...we need the long drive again.

    ReplyDelete
  36. We need more speed at safety....killing me

    ReplyDelete
  37. Don't know if I can handle a skin-of-the-teeth game here. I hope Kodi is psyching himself up for this drive!

    ReplyDelete
  38. We had the onside kick, then the series right before the half...then the 1st drive on the 2nd half.


    So three straight drives.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Lets go O. This is a big series. We have to do something to get some momentum back.

  52. Tuberville gave Burns a good yelling after that one.

    ReplyDelete
  53. when was the last time you saw Tubby get that animated and in a kids face?

    ReplyDelete
  54. 3rd and 9 and we have a 3 yard pass...with a wide open 1st down behind him.

    ReplyDelete
  55. The start to the 2nd half is looking too familiar.

    We won't get short fields like that too often.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Tubs usually just gets on Kickers.

    Nothing more annoying than a block in the back on a downed punt, good thing it was on them.

  67. Unfortunately, this is setting up just like the rest of the games we lost. If this defense doesn't stiffen, Rhodes needs to feel some heat. I'm not even remotely saying the heat put on Franklin, but he gets too many free passes lately.

  113. We get 3 maybe 4 more possessions in this game. We need to score on at least 2 of them to have a chance to win.

    The D can't blame it on time of possession this time. They should be rested, they're just stinking up the joint.

    It's over unless we run a kick back, I've seen this terrible movie before. The ending isn't pretty.

  121. No more locker room retreat at halftime. I agree. They should just stay on the field. We make no adjustments at the half. We haven't all year.

    ReplyDelete
  122. Look back at the teams we played to start the year...only LSU had a decent offense and they ripped us up with a back up QB. Everyone else was awful on offense.

    Our D might not have been that good all along.
