Wrappin' it up: Auburn wins, 37-20

Hey everyone. I'll deposit quotes here as soon as I get through them on my trusty tape recorder.

  • Tristan Davis's injury isn't serious. He pulled a hamstring, but he said afterward that he's expecting to play against Georgia next week.

  • Same thing for Sen'Derrick Marks, Antonio Coleman and Tez Doolittle: They're reasonably healthy and expect to play next week. Marks was upset to have his consecutive-start streak ended at 35. He said he was prepared to start, but was told to sit this one out.

  • Ben Tate on his emotions when the score was tied at 20 today: "I don't know if they were anxious moments. I was kind of shocked, actually, because a team like Tennessee-Martin should never, never be that close. That just shows that we've got to come out a lot better than we did. We have to start faster."

  • Ben Tate on his health and how it affected his play today: "I'm 100 percent. Does it look like I'm not 100 percent? I'm fine. I've been fine since the Ole Miss game. It's just a matter of going out there and producing -- no matter what the odds are or what my line is doing. I have to fight and get yards."

  • Robert Dunn on his messed-up punt return that led to a UTM touchdown: "Just anxious. Just pumped up about being back on the field. Just kind of got out of my element a little bit and tried to make something happen. The ball didn’t bounce my way. This time, I ended up on the short end of the stick. But you learn from your mistakes. Couple times, I’ve made some bad choices and it turned into a good thing. Just take this and learn from it."

  • Dunn on if he expected to be fired after that gaffe: "Um, yeah. Kind of surprising that they told me to get back out there. I was like `Who-hoo.'"

  • Kodi Burns on if he put the team on his back in the third quarter: "I was just sick of seeing this. It's the same story every week. I was just sick of seeing it and didn't want to see it again. I just wanted to come out and get a win so I did everything in my power to move the ball down the field and score."

  • Burns on his early-game problems: "I was just a little off. Just a little bit of misreads. They're were giving us a little different looks then we've seen all year. It eventually picked up. It was basically just feeling comfortable out there. Just picking it up instead of going out there and kinda going through the motions.

  • Paul Rhoads on the team's defensive injuries: "There were a lot of horses on the sidelines in street clothes and one (Powers) who could have just have well been in street clothes because he didn't play as well. You play six guys, you rotate, you play a guy that is that high tempo, with a quick passing game and a lot of running, I think that the fatigue shows up a little bit, and a little bit of a lack of a pass rush. But the guys committed to playing the game and playing all in, and I think they certainly finished it out that way."

  • Tommy Tuberville on the win: "They gave us some problems. Their quarterback (Cade Thompson) really did a nice job, but we didn't have a lot of our guys healthy on defense. We held most of our defensive line out and I am really proud of six defensive linemen that really played the whole game rotating them in and out. That was a great effort by those kids. We got a little bit tired. We made some plays and got a little bit better."

  • Tuberville on the offense: "Kodi (Burns) was the difference with his legs running making plays. We threw the ball a little better. We didn't do a lot on offense or defense. We were pretty much vanilla. We were just trying to make plays and of course a couple of turnovers hurt us and kickoff coverage hurt us."

  • Tuberville on Neil Caudle, who was 4-of-5 for 32 yards: "Neil did good. Obviously we weren't trying to score there at the end. Sometimes people think when you put your second team quarterback out there, you just run the clock out. We needed to see Neil throw the ball and throw it down the field. He showed some poise. He threw the ball quick and got it off. We were trying to put him in right before the half but we gave up a 3rd and 10 and gave them an opportunity to go down and score. I would have loved to have gotten him a few more snaps."

One thing I'll say about Tubs. Even when he throws a tirade (see Florida last year) at least you don't see him lay down the stream of cursing that Saban did in the 4th quarter there. I'm sure Tubs lets them slip, but I've never seen him drop 'em on TV like other coaches.

Tristan Davis is NOT OK. No player with his speed is OK with a hamstring injury. So, don't expect him to be the guy that came on after he switched to New Balance.

I dunno, i think (hope) if TTech beats OK ST. the voters may move them past UTA; if they win big. i know "style points" don't count, or so they say, but with the voters they still do. i think a win over OK state combined with PSU's loss would be more impressive than a win over LSU who gave up +50 points, i think, to GA and FL.

The mad scientist will pick-a-part man to man. I agree with Herby on that also.

I'm sorry, but when watching a Leach team I can't help but think, "what if". What if Franklin had been given enough time and the right players.

What position will Tebow play (if he plays) in the NFL?

what did the tubs say? great game, went just like we planned. everything is going well. we are getting better.

I don't think Tebow will be all that great in the pros. The only position he can play is QB, and I'm not sold on him as a pro-style QB.

7:51 PM

I don't think he is either, Eddie.

I wonder if he has a future as a short-yardage RB?

Texas Tech knows how to run screens. How many times this year have we had our screens blown up?

Man, Troy must have run 20 screens today. Some worked, some didn't, but they were a big part of the gameplan down there.

Tebow will end up somewhere in the pros. I don't believe he will end up running the ball unless he is in the QB spot. The reason he does so well running the ball is that he has an extra blocker as opposed to the RB.

Exactly WIde open offense with a killer defense. I had visons of beating Miss St 66-10 this year...instead, we win 3-2. Lots of poor decisions and will to do what it takes to implement the system.

As my good friend Bobby Knight said,,
The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.

Actions definitely speak louder than words Denny. Winning starts off the playing field.

Eddie asked:"How many times this year have we had our screens blown up?" i believe the answer is every.

The success of Texas Tech's screens is tied to the down the field passing. If you don't throw the ball down the field, screens don't do diddley squat. The DBs move in closer and you don't have the time/space for it.

Why is it so hard to get a WR to block on a screen?

Mike Leach

Annual salary $1,750,000

Now, I would say Auburn could double that and get him.

I bet Georgia will have a spy on Burns this week. If they do, that will put a big ding in the game plan.

I would say winning begins on the practice field. That includes honest evaluation of players. I mean if we want to run the single wing and have a decent throwing halfback as our starter, then by all means please play Kodi.

In regards to today's game "For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting."
- Gen. George C. Patton

If AU played TT, the score would be something like....63-13. I'm afraid the next two games are going to be VERY ugly.

eddie4au, Franklin didn't believe in receivers blocking. That was one of the things the receivers mentioned being different from Borges. While I am certain he meant down field blocking, but you either learn to block or you don't.

bramlett & white kept saying today that we have not thrown it deep and UTM's DB were playing tight. when that happens, like steve said, no screen will work

8:03 PM  
Anonymous Anonymous said...

How many screens has TTech run and they are just in the early 2nd? Just goes to show what this offense can do with the right athletes. As Monica said earlier, what of Franklin had the time and the athletes?

I'll give TT (Leach's high-octane team, not our on-fumes coach), they are exciting to watch

CRABTREE IS A MAN! He's 20! Come after HIM!.. oh, wait; wrong team

wootang- a third of the plays have probably been screens. Worked like a charm most of the time.

Added several Tuberville quotes to the main thread.

Do you want a new one now that we're to 200? Or would you prefer to keep going here?

About to hit that 200 mark.

I would love to have crabtree. He is the best WR in college if you ask me. That play to beat Texas was freakin awesome.

Did UTM line up with no safety on defense as everyone else has all season long?

Does our offense every practice against a defense that runs 8 men in the box? Maybe we should.
Do we run plays for 2nd & 9 to go? We should because we are in that position every game.
