Third quarter, Ala leads 29-0

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

  • Alabama's first possession of the second half: Four and out.

  • Auburn's first possession: Brad Lester loses the ball on the drive's second play. Alabama recovers.

  • Alabama's second possession: Wilson to Nikita Stover for a 39-yard touchdown pass. Leigh Tiffin's PAT kick was blocked.

    • ALABAMA 16, AUBURN 0


  • Auburn's second possession: Ends on a fumble. Kodi Burns dropped a poor snap from Jason Bosley.

  • Alabama's third possession: Mark Ingram 1 run. Auburn had Alabama held on a 3rd-and-14. Wilson hit Ingram on a short pass and the tailback turned that into a 27-yard gain.

    • ALABAMA 22, AUBURN 0


  • Auburn's third possession: Three and out. Nothing doing.

  • Alabama's fourth possession: Ingram scores on a 15-yard run. It's getting ugly. All seven plays on that drive were runs. Alabama covered 50 yards. That's a wrap, kids.

    • ALABAMA 29, AUBURN 0


  • Auburn's fourth possession: Three and out. Nothing.

  • Alabama's fifth possession: In progress.

Remember when Brad Lester said we would win these games by a good amount?

with Bama getting Satan out of the NFL, that shows just about ANYTHING is possible when it comes to getting a HC at a major SEC school, if that school is wiling to pay. It was Satan saying "I'm not gonna be the next coach at Alabama" then, boom, 12-0 after 1 full year. (meaning the 2nd year). Who say UM getting RR from WVU? Anything can happen in the world of coaching. and we need, no MUST have some of that anything to happen on the plains...

So we get killed by one of the best teams in the country during a year where we haven't done anything and you expected more? I guess I will be in the minority on this. I just fear that a coaching change would spell a dark period for Auburn. I really hope I am wrong.

Blogger Romberry said...

What about the 4 coaching changes before they landed on Saban?

What about 'em? Are you satisfied with mediocrity? AU under Tuberville is an underachieving program in decline. WHAT IT IS WITH YOU PEOPLE?

Bama has been subpar for years. Now they aren't. AU has how many SECCG appearances (not to mention trophies) under Tubs? Thats right. Two appearance. One SECCG championship. And since 2004...nothing but rolling (at an ever increasing rate) downhill.

Tubs couldn't even bring himself to step in and demand that the offensive staff give the starting nod to a future NFL first round draft pick at QB i n 2003. (Quote: If I wanted to run a high school offense, I'd start Jason Campnbell.) Against UGA this year, Fannin gets hot, scores both offensive TD's...and then sits with the game on the line? Are you kidding me?

Tommy Tuberville needs to cash his lotto ticket and leave. Do people here realize just how much 6 million dollars is? If you make 50 grand a year, you'd have to work 120 YEARS to make 6 mil. Feel bad for Tubs? NOT!

It isn't you people, It seems I am the only one defending him here. I am not satisfied with mediocre. I do not, however, want to see us go through what Bama just went through. Win lose or draw I want a program with class. Bama's program was filled with kids with criminal records and paid off recruits. I am going to enter the work force soon outside of Alabama and I don't want my colleagues to hear about the things that have gone on during the shuffling coaches period at Bama.

5:47 PM  
Blogger WDCWE said...

What I meant to say was that I don't want Auburn to have national headlines with players getting arrested, or paid off, or coaches that are acting immorally. I know that just because it happened to Bama that it doesn't mean it will happen to us, but I don't want to make coaching changes on emotions. That is would could happen.
