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)

Kentucky is realling hanging in vs. UGA. they're knocking on the Dawgs' red zone down by 7. 11:30 in the 3rd.

if you get a chance would you please post a picture of the orange jerseys vs. the white jerseys? thanks dude.

1:26 PM  
Blogger Mark said...

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?

1:27 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

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:

"Daddy, we'll just make up the rules ... Like Kings do."

great quote! he's a smart little fella.

1:30 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Wow. That was quick.

Tristan Davis returns the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown.

1:31 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

nice work Tristan! :)

1:31 PM  
Blogger Cory said...

TD!!! Gonna miss him next season. wde

1:32 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Game face on!!! Apparently Tristan came to play. Now, lets see how the rest of the guys do.

1:34 PM  
Blogger Cory said...

Great defense....

1:37 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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.

1:37 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

nice profile pic there Steve.

1:37 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Doooh!!!! Robert Dunn makes his case for bonehead play of the season.

1:41 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

oh my. Dunn....r u serious?

1:41 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:42 PM  
Blogger Cory said...

Just that kind of season boys...

1:42 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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

1:43 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:44 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

That hole for Lester was LARGE.

1:44 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Yes!!! Lester comes to play!!!

1:45 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

(On his first carry.)

1:45 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Burns' first pass ... awful.

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

1:46 PM  
Blogger Kris said...

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

1:46 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:46 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Poor drive. Poor execution.

1:46 PM  
Blogger Cory said...

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

1:47 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

Is this game not even on the radio?

I can't find it.

1:48 PM  
Blogger Kris said...

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

1:48 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:48 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

The game should be on the radio ...

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

1:49 PM  
Blogger Kris said...

Its on WAAO 103.7 Phred.

1:49 PM  
Blogger Scott M. Brannan said...

Phreddie,

you can thanks SteveFC

1:49 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:49 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

I just realized that Powers is playing. Duh.

1:49 PM  
Blogger Kris said...

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

1:51 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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

1:52 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

If Powers reinjures his hamstring....

1:52 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:52 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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

1:55 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:55 PM  
Blogger scott,will not,from tucson said...

how's attendance?

1:56 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:56 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

There's another lame drive.

Burns is not on at all.

1:56 PM  
Blogger Cory said...

Come on Kodi, settle down man.

1:56 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

I'd say attendance is around 70,000.

Wes Byrum just hit a 48-yard kick.

1:57 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

1:57 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

At least Byrum kicked a FG

1:58 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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

1:59 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

2:00 PM  
Blogger Kris said...

Comon Jerraud....

2:01 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

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

Jaret Holmes? (and that's questionable)

2:02 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Dunn back in to return the third punt.

2:02 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

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

Offense, defense & special teams.

2:02 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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

2:03 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Kentucky just took the lead 31-28 on UGA

2:03 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

2:04 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

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

2:04 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

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.

2:04 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Steve,

Coaching?

2:04 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

WarEagleRK, good point.

2:05 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Rod Smith is playing?

2:05 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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

2:06 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

I have man love for Rod Smith.

2:06 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

What? A reverse that didn't work?

Why do we even try them?

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

2:06 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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

2:07 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

UGA back up on KY now.

2:07 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

3rd and 9 and we throw a 1 yard pass?

2:08 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Byrum hits a 44-yard kick.

No doubt about that one. It was quite strong.

2:09 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

At least Byrum is doing something good.

However special teams responsible for all points so far.

2:09 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

2:09 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Yay!!!

Byrum makes another FG ... wahoo!!!

We're really looking good!

Auburn's kicking UT-Poindexter's butt!

2:09 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

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

2:10 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Kentucky about to score again. What a game.

2:11 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Hey, Phred ...

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

2:11 PM  
Blogger Cory said...

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

2:12 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

2:12 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Jay,

Is the D playing a lot of reserves?

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

2:12 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Lots of defensive reserves up front.

LBs and CBs and Ss are starters.

2:14 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

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

2:14 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

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.

2:14 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Sounds like we got a lucky break there.

2:15 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

Georgia 35, Kentucky 38

We may have some mad doggies coming to town.

2:15 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

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

2:15 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

KY back up on UGA

2:16 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

The current season is being challenged!

2:16 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

Can someone help me find the game on internet radio? Thanks.

2:16 PM  
Blogger Jay G. Tate said...

Auburn gets it. Fumble recovery by Mike McNeil.

Go ahead and call me a visionary, but I foresee A.J. Green making some money playing football

2:20 PM

Kentucky recovers Georgia fumble. Tennessee still getting ridden by the Cowboys.

2:20 PM

Massaquoi just fumbled it back ... 11:24 to go .. 38-35 UK-Tate

2:21 PM

New thread created for 2nd quarter...

2:21 PM  
Blogger ron mexico said...

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

2:21 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

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

2:22 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

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

2:22 PM  
Blogger WarEagleRK said...

Auburn 36 1st quarter yards.

Burns 3/7 36 yards

2:22 PM

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