Pregame/First Quarter, AU 13-7


Hey everyone. I have arrived. My girls are here for this one, so my daughter was mucho excited. She's certainly in the minority; this stadium is about 75% full.

AUBURN 13, UT-MARTIN 7: Byrum hits a 44-yard field goal. Pass from Burns to Rod Smith went for 32 yards and moved Auburn into field-goal range. (2:13)

AUBURN 10, UT-MARTIN 7: Wes Byrum hit a 48-yard field goal. Drive was set up by a UTM drive that lost 14 yards and forced them to punt from their end zone. Auburn began the drive at the UTM 40. (7:36)

AUBURN 7, UT-MARTIN 7: The Skyhawks recovered a fumble in the end zone for a score. Robert Dunn misjudged a punt and tried to field it about 5 yards deep in the end zone. I bounced off him and into the hands of a UT-Martin defender. That's all on Dunn. (12:03)

AUBURN 7, UT-MARTIN 0: Tristan Davis returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown. He took this one up the middle. Broke through, veered right and took it to the house. He backpedaled the final five yards. (14:46)

  7. JAy, great pic. What type of camera are you using?

    Additionally, I have always wondered, what do all of the people that are standing on the sidelines do?

    ReplyDelete
  8. Just for fun.

    My proof that you pretty much have the world figured out by age three.

    From the mouth of my son, age 3:

  14. Breaking News: Phillip Fulmer becoming more fired. Wyoming is up on Tennessee 13-0 in the 3rd quarter. Tennesse is quickly dropping from it's suck status to really sucks.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thanks Scottie, I had to make some adjustments to ensure victory today.

    Just that kind of season boys...

    ReplyDelete
  20. Dunn chased that punt into the end zone. I don't understand what he was thinking.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Jay, I think he has been wanting a chance to return a ball. He hasn't had much of a chance recently.

    ReplyDelete
  22. That hole for Lester was LARGE.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yes!!! Lester comes to play!!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. (On his first carry.)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Burns' first pass ... awful.

    I'd say it was 10 yards short of Sgt. Slaughter.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Wow...we can run to the left side of the line, but wait...we're playing UT Martin.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Forget about the passing. Shove the football down their throats.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Poor drive. Poor execution.

    At least Kodi had his best week of practice...

    ReplyDelete
  30. Is this game not even on the radio?

    I can't find it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Burns finds his first and second favorite receivers, The Ground and No-one N. Particular.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Are skyhawks related to warhawks? Are they like similar species or something?

    ReplyDelete
  33. The game should be on the radio ...

    They're here. I have seen Rod and Stan.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Its on WAAO 103.7 Phred.

    ReplyDelete
  36. For radio, go here. The first one on the list worked for me.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I just realized that Powers is playing. Duh.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Dunno Steve, but given the choice I would rather lose to a warhawk...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Dr. Rob Dunn has been demoted; Sgt. Slaughter returning the second punt.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Anonymous1:52 PM

    If Powers reinjures his hamstring....

    ReplyDelete
  41. Come on offense!!! Try to go out there and not do anything stupid!!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Here we go with the "they're stacking 8 in the box" stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Two tight ends running the ball and we lose yardage!!! Argh!!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Screw the eight in the box crap. Run it anyway. Two of our offensive linemen make three of theres. Run the frickin football.

    ReplyDelete
  45. There's another lame drive.

    Burns is not on at all.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Anonymous1:56 PM

    Come on Kodi, settle down man.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'd say attendance is around 70,000.

    Wes Byrum just hit a 48-yard kick.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Holy crap!!! What happend to Byrum? Did that wind cause the ball to curve into the uprights or what?

    ReplyDelete
  49. At least Byrum kicked a FG

    ReplyDelete
  50. There was no doubt about that field goal. He boomed that one.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Byrum needs to make up his mind. Does he want to suck or not suck. I can't stand inconsistency.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Comon Jerraud....

    ReplyDelete
  53. When was the last time we had a consistent kicker from year to year?

    Jaret Holmes? (and that's questionable)

    ReplyDelete
  54. Dunn back in to return the third punt.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Let's face it, we're not a really good football team at all right now.

    Offense, defense & special teams.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I don't think anyone is arguing that, RK.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Kentucky just took the lead 31-28 on UGA

    ReplyDelete
  58. WarEagleRK, other than offense, defense, and special teams; I don't see many weaknesses on this Auburn team.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Anonymous2:04 PM

    oh, my goodness ... a completion!!!

    ReplyDelete
  60. I don't know. I've seen some who say we are just a play a way, or that we found ourselves in the 4th quarter on offense last week and all kinds of strange comments.

    ReplyDelete
  61. WarEagleRK, good point.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Rod Smith is playing?

    ReplyDelete
  63. Rod Smith back -- catches a 32-yard pass just now.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I have man love for Rod Smith.

    ReplyDelete
  65. What? A reverse that didn't work?

    Why do we even try them?

    I haven't seen one for positive yards this year.

    ReplyDelete
  66. -5 on that reverse ... and Fannin helped avoid a 15-yard loss with crazy running.

    ReplyDelete
  67. UGA back up on KY now.

    ReplyDelete
  68. 3rd and 9 and we throw a 1 yard pass?

    ReplyDelete
  69. Byrum hits a 44-yard kick.

    No doubt about that one. It was quite strong.

    ReplyDelete
  70. At least Byrum is doing something good.

    However special teams responsible for all points so far.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Byrum, welcome to the season. Nice to see you finally showed up.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Anonymous2:09 PM

    Yay!!!

    Byrum makes another FG ... wahoo!!!

    We're really looking good!

    Auburn's kicking UT-Poindexter's butt!

    ReplyDelete
  73. if we can kick 12 field goals a game, I think we can beat some people.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Kentucky about to score again. What a game.

    ReplyDelete

    Hey, Phred ...

    Tuberville is undefeated in games where Auburn has kicked 12 field goals!!!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Anonymous2:12 PM

    At least Byrum has hopefully found the groove. We're going to need it.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Jet G. Ate should get some kind of creative nick award.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Jay,

    Is the D playing a lot of reserves?

    Not that it matters since our backups should be enough to stop them.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Lots of defensive reserves up front.

    LBs and CBs and Ss are starters.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Anonymous2:14 PM

    The only thing worse than watching this thing ... is listening to it.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Remember at the start of the year when nobody could get a 1st down on us on a 3rd down?

    I guess that's all a distant memory.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Sounds like we got a lucky break there.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Georgia 35, Kentucky 38

    We may have some mad doggies coming to town.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Not sure about that fumble recovery ... I think McNeil was bobbling that ball as he rolled out of bounds.

  97. New thread created for 2nd quarter...

    ReplyDelete
  98. When was the last time A.J. Greene played a down of football?

    ReplyDelete
  99. UTM QB 7/13 for 71 yards in the 1st quarter

    ReplyDelete
  100. Now, there is an idea. What if we try letting our offense score touchdowns. It may sounds crazy, but it just could work.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Auburn 36 1st quarter yards.

    Burns 3/7 36 yards

    ReplyDelete
  102. Mon...I liked your other picture waaay better.
