Second quarter, Ala leads 10-0
We're discussing the second quarter of Auburn's game at Alabama.- Auburn's third possession: Not much happening there. Mario Fannin converted a third down with a nice screen catch-and-run play, but that was the lone Auburn highlight. 7 plays, 21 yards. (started at 14:53, AUB 24)
- Alabama's third possession: Glen Coffee 41-yard TD run. Auburn had Alabama held at 3rd-and-11. John Parker Wilson hit Julio Jones on an out route, earned the first down and Coffee scored on the next play. 4 plays, 65 yards. (started at 12:06, ALA 35)
- ALABAMA 10, AUBURN 0
- Auburn's fourth possession: Not much going on. Burns lost his mechanics on a poor second-down pass. Alabama blitzed on third down and Burns couldn't find anyone available. (started at 10:21, AUB 24)
- Alabama's fourth possession: They were making progress. Jerraud Powers made a "nice play" on Julio Jones during a third-down pass. Powers arrived a bit early. No penalty was called. (started at 8:42, ALA 38)
- Auburn's fifth possession: Three and out. Kodi Burns can't pass. He has lost his mechanics and touch. He's also being pressured. (started at 6:09, AUB 19)
- Alabama's fifth possession: Three and out. (started at 4:25, ALA 31)
- Auburn's sixth possession: Ends with a blocked field goal. Morgan Hull was attempting the first kick of his career. (started at 2:27, AUB 28)

Come on Offense. We need you.
James Swinton makes an appearance
Pass Interferense. BS
I don't care if Mario can block or not, keep him in the game
Mario came to play.
Take Rod Smith out. He stinks.
Smith seems to be on freeze lock today.
Punt to live
In the Punt to Live strategy, I believe you must actually PUNT THE DANG BALL.
If this was our idea of starting fast, I hate to see how we end.
There should have have been pass interference on that one pass.
Terrible punt.
We can't have special teams breakdowns.
Don't expect any help from the refs. The SEC want #1 and #2 in the championship game next week.
I'm still not over that blown pass interference call.
Wow...bama gets a call while we get hosed on the last drive.
uh.. can we please cover JJ?
Terrible defensive coverage there. Just Terrible.
Crap. This game is going horribly wrong right now.
and that first down is 100% coaching
We MUST answer that score.
Twas bound to happen
I hate to be overly negative, but that's game.
WAAAAAA
OK after that, we CANNOT go 3 & out and give them the ball back within 3-4 minutes
Yep gotta answer. NOW
I really felt good about today, but not anymore. I have zero confidence we can come back from 10 down. Please prove me wrong.
Unless we answer, and I haven't seen anything from this offense that says we can, that play was it.
Can we please just go for broke here and let the ball fly?
Let's see if the guys respond or pack it in
I think Gary Danielson was crying he was so happy UAT scored
I just don't see this defense being what a lot of AU fans think. I know there is no offensive support, but you can't blame it all on that can you? The rush defense has just fallen apart.
The D looked great early in the year against teams that turned out to not have an offensive pulse.
Someone on defense seems to be misaligned on every play which concerns me at the end of the season.
Kodi throws the worlds longest spike again.
C'mon air it out
Loss of 14
ballgame?
Well it'll probably be 17-0 soon.
Ziemba better stop that crap.
This team is packing it in folks. It's getting ready to get ugly.
I just can't believe it.
No Flag there?
how can that not be a flag on hitting the punter?
and how did Kodi hold on to that ball?
I have an idea. How about Gary Danielson shuts the hell up.
It looks like the nervous Burns has returned...
Given two weeks to prepare, Saban vs Tuberville?
if they dont stop UAT in 3 or 4 plays this drive, i fear Eddie may be correct
Can you call it a drive if you go backwards?
Wow. Just unreal.
The defense has to step it up.
Good thing I am a happy drunk
What did Ziemba have to do with that?
He blocked his man on that play.
Kodi's gotta step up
We need a 3 & out or a turnover or it's over.
Someone needs to hit Sarah Jessica Parker in the mouth.
He hasn't taken a shot all afternoon..
I REALLY HATE ALABAMA!!!!
CCR I guess you and I are the only ones with a question on the no call on hitting the punter.
Let's get a turnover here.
If we don't get pressure on Wilson..
We're toast.
I volunteer to smack Sara Jessica and then I'll move on to Gary Danielsen.
Is that Coffee or Shaun Alexander?
The hit on the punter was a lot of acting by Durst...plus that would just make it 4th and 19 and we'd punt again.
IM4AU, I agree but it seems everyone gives Rhoads a pass given the offensive non-performance. Everyone talks of how technically sound we are on defense, but I just don't see it. This season has been a disaster in all aspects of the team, not just one.
simple but effective
Go Gators.
All I'm saying...
We need a big sack here...
I mean I guess I don't understand the rule, but he gets the punt off cleanly and then is touched then it is a penalty?
Gary and Verne are going to need a cigarette soon.
RK- Ziemba pushed a bama guy in the back after the play. I hate that crap.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Well once again recruiting for speed on defense kills us on cutbacks.
And a napkin, Mon
A penalty against Alabama, no way!
I read where rhoads was actively seeking the utah job. does that mean he's trying to get outta here?
they wouldnt have stopped the play morons
Finally something of a break
Tez Doolittle..
Step it up, big guy.
Don't let this be your last game...
It's Utah State and they want him, not sure he wants them.
Huge stop.
We should have had a pass interference call there
Riggins just on the radio talking about the misalignment of the defense through the 1st half.
whewwww
Give the turf monster a tackle on that punt
that was a good play by powers
I know our offense has sucked all year, but our D hasn't looked all that great either. I love me some defense, so I've really been disappointed.
coverage and blocking so bad Dunn would rather slide than run
If we can just keep them from scoring again this half...then we're still in decent shape.
If we can also put SOMETHING on the board...EVEN BETTER.
The D never shows anything different to disguise what they are doing.
We just run a base D pretty much and it all falls on the players to execute properly.
Auburn needs to move this ball right now.
I think it'll slip away RIGHT NOW if something doesn't change RIGHT NOW. Alabama has done its work and it's on the verge of taking control.
14 rushing yards so far
not good
We need some points
Guys..
Seriously,
If we can get into the locker room only down by ten against the #1 team in the country..ON THEIR TURF..then we're still okay..
Keep your fingers crossed.
If the back or TE is to the right, run is to the right.
Slip Sliding Away...Paul Simon sums up the season.
We can't start past the 20. We really need better field position.
Can we please put Fannin in the game?
And what was that?
Hey, a hit in the backfield. I would would have expected that.
How do you figure Reynolds. They are dominating all across the board right now.
Sorry guys...
What good would that completion have done 7 yds in front of the first down!?!
Do we ever know where the 1st down marker is on 3rd down????
Ever???
Good gosh almighty..
This looks like Preseason Kodi. NOT GOOD. He looks like a scared baby.
Guys, this is going downhill uber fast
17-0 will lead to 42-0 at end.
In the past 3 years, on any third down we've almost always thrown in front of the marker.
45 total yards so far to Alabama's 160
We are not only being outplayed here, we are being thoroughly outcoached as well.
I'm guessing "performance anxiety" Kodi has returned at this point?
It looks like preseason Kodi.
Absolutely, Eddie.
good god i hope he didnt just say "hotlanta"
I can't believe we're only down 10.
I hope Percy Harvin will be better for the SEC Championship game.
Eddie..
My strategy is simple (and pathetic).
Keep them from scoring here and hope they make a lot of mistakes in the 2nd half.
I mean, what other option could there be?
By the way, I'm about to make a phonecall back to 2004/2005..and see if I can find our offense...
Well when you give Tuberville and Saban 2 weeks to prepare, who do you think will win that preparation battle?
We need to let Quentin Riggins and Stan White call the plays in the 2nd half! They said UA are bringing up 8 to the line right before the snap. They need to run left long and right long and throw it deep. They think we could get a big play.
Is CBS in love with those two blonde twins who were houndstooth hats? they show them all the time every week
Down he goes
I would seriously give Neil Caudle a shot. Anything is better than what we are doing on offense.
When they take Coffee out we do well.
timeout, tuberville?
AC tawlkin smack to Sara Jessica!wooo hooo
Well can we make something happen with 2:19 to go in the half?
ok lets dive down and get a FG or at least keep the ball until the half runs out
Bear- Those two blode twins have a billboard ad on I-65 above decatur. I couldn't believe it when I saw it Wednesday.
Maybe Caudle will play 2nd half! We never do anything in the 2nd half anyway, so this would be a good change of pace.
How about something for hitting a QB while he is in his slide?
A first down!!!
according to these announcers, auburn is incapable of doing ANYTHING good. alabama only blows it.
Wow, a 1st down and a Brad Lester spotting.
and why haven't we used Lester more?????
Do I smell smoke?
note to CBS fire these guys after this game!!
WAR EAGLE!
BEAT BAMA!
Well that 3 yard sideline route does us a lot of good.
Throw the ball further than 3 yards!
i didn't realize arenas was so short
hell yeah
I hate CBS. Lat year's dancing at the Georgia game made me sick. How unprofessional.
Do I see fire?
Go Kodi, I love his running game.
another first down!
The hurry up catches them off guard.
my heart is beating too fast
why has kodi not run the whole half until now?
Boy Saban is disgusted. We have got to score.
i like that quick huddle when it works
We need SOMETHING out of this.
A touchdown.
A field goal.
Hell, even a safety on Bama (if possible)..
Oh my, this reminds me of the last drive of the Georgia game. We are really due something good to happen.
We need to score.
Cotton - We've been lulling them into a false sense of security.
Why not run hurry-up all the time?
Time to make a play.
Kodi kills me the way he carries that ball when he takes off! Makes me so nervous!
Fell down.
Clock is ticking
I love our red zone scoring percentage.
Hurry up
Kodi guns it so hard # 87's now decapitated
Ummmm time out?
What the hay
there goes 10 seconds deciding what to do and then run it ARRRRRGHHHHHHHH
Last time out
Wow, we are horrible.
Who called these plays?
Always settling for Field Goals. Good Grief.
Morgan Hull, no pressure
Looks like this'll be Morgan Hull.
2nd and 7, we throw a 3 yard pass that could only end in bounds...then we run the ball up the gut on a team who's strength is up the middle.
At least we didn't get to the redzone to make those stats worse.
COACHING?
Jay G ... is right ...
hurry it up ... Lester ... Fannin no Tate
Dear Morgan Hull,
My name is Reynolds Wolf.
I want to be your friend.
Please make this field goal and I will be your BFF.
Your pal,
Reynolds
Of course, Hull with all of his experience.
Morgan Hull - You could be my new best friend.
MORGAN HULL!!!!
DANGIT!!!!!!
GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HATE
I REALLY HATE NICK SABAN.
aW. ... CRAP
Hopefully that was just a practice shot and we do the exact same thing on the one that counts.
Bad clock management at the end
monica- Lulling them into a false sense of security? ...
Is that what this whole season has been?
Field Goal GOOD!
MORGAN HULL! MORGAN HULL!!
Ah, damn nick saban. damn him.
2nd field goal is... blocked.
!@#$%^&@#$^%!^!$**!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD DANG IT!!!!!!
hate that rule ... hate it.
Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate Hate
HATE SABAN. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE
Well that was good coaching on Nick Saban's part.
We are effed
I think Alabama's offense is so stinkin' predictable ...
Played well enough on defense to win. We just didn't do anything on offense.
No duh Tubs
Cotton - yes...
I hope we can make them pay for that. Let's go Gators. I will be pulling for Florida and anybody else that Nick Saban is playing against.
Wrong.
We come out pissed in the 2nd half.
I want whatever drugs Tubs is taking. Please give me the same thing.
... ARRRGGGHHHHHHHH....
Everytime they cut to the redneck delirious bammer fans, my blood boils. Their joy is my pain.
We are NOT screwed.
We have a whole half to play.
We'll get after Sarah Jessica.
And make Bama hurt..
chris evans and zach etheridge couldn't be more out of position unless they were wearing red jerseys.
Hate bammer! Hate Saban! Hate the timeout!
I think Tim Brando gets paid every time he says the word Quagmire
How can a major-conference winning program be so totally inept on offense? I really think we play for a field-goal to keep from being shut-out. That's more embarassing than actually being shut-out.
Our hope to go no huddle and go quickly.
We'll have to sell our on D.
It's simple.
We've got to make our own breaks.
Depressed ... I agree with you about Rhoads ... we've got horrible angles.
I hate to say it because it's not popular, but the announcers are making fun of us,and we're making it easy the way we play.
Sonic, reminds me listening to the Miss-LSU game Danielson was talking of Ole Miss defensive problems and he said "Kodi Burns passed for over 300 yards against this defense folks, Kodi Burns!" We have become a laughingstock and it makes me sick.
