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."
Penn State goes down!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletePenn State goes down on a last second FG by Iowa. Final 24-23 Iowa.
ReplyDeleteHow 'bout that? Enjoy that Rose Bowl Penn State and USC.
Troy wins 17-7. I am cold and heading home.
Later friends.
Jay G,
ReplyDeleteNot surprised by anything from the Tubs-speak these days.
Good work, man.
Kirk Ferentz ... earning his $3 million.
ReplyDeleteWhoever wanted to play Bama undefeated, it looks like you will get your wish.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading a lot of "I" statements from Ben.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't those be "we" statements, I wonder?
At least he's aware that production is important.
Yeah Jay, Kirk earns it one win a year. He has to be the most overrated coach in America in my opinion.
ReplyDeletethat was me on the bama game, i'd assume have that hog fat for the slaughter
ReplyDeleteWho is going to hang out here and watch the Texas Tech / Oklahoma State game tonight?
ReplyDeleteI asked the Magic Eight Ball if Auburn would beat Georgia next week.
ReplyDeleteThe answer: Outlook Not So Good.
Oh well, it was worth a shot.
Does it look like I'm not 100 percent?
ReplyDeleteInteresting.
Eddie$,
ReplyDeleteI'm in for it, man.
I'm confused...did LSU call a time out and then another time out to challenge?
ReplyDeleteI'd LOVE to watch that OSU/TT game. I'll be hustling to make that happen.
ReplyDeleteIF that is a catch, then how did it end up in the arm of the LSU defender farthest away from Jones?
ReplyDeleteThat should be ball game.
ReplyDeletedo ya give up a td to avoid losin the clock?
ReplyDeleteCool Mr. S, I will be here during the game.
ReplyDeleteThey are lining it up for Tiffin.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Hustle back Jay and join in the conversation.
ReplyDeleteApparently I know nothing about when to call a time out anymore.
ReplyDeletelsu better blitz hard off that left de position,it's like obi wan kinobi, it's their only hope.
ReplyDeleteOkla State game starts at 6:45 cst?
ReplyDeleteBlocked!!!!1
ReplyDeleteBLOCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeletemy my my
ReplyDeleteJay, it starts at 7:00 CST
ReplyDeleteWOW
ReplyDeleteMy schedule say 8:00 Jay
ReplyDeletethe block in the bayou, lol
ReplyDeleteOT, anybody's game.
ReplyDeleteLeigh Tiffin is one cool dude
ReplyDeleteWe're watching the game here in the Auburn press box. You could hear all the people outside the stadium cheering after that block.
ReplyDeleteCrazy!
I bet bama runs it to the left in OT. What say ya?
ReplyDeleteJust wait to hear the rumble from the press box should bama lose.
ReplyDeleteTo the left, left, left, left, left.
ReplyDeleteBama executed the perfect brain fart. I can't believe that. How can you not get the ball up in that situation? How can you not center up the ball. Just bizarre.
ReplyDeleteTiffin is notorious for that low kick.
ReplyDeleteeverything you own in a box to the left
ReplyDeleteI officially believe that wildcat formation has lost it's value now. EVERYONE runs it.
ReplyDeleteyeah, bama run left, 8 yd stop by julio
ReplyDeleteNice throw, J. Lee.
ReplyDelete4 INTs today
damn
ReplyDeleteVan Tiffin will get another chance. WHAT A TERRIBLE THROW.
ReplyDeleteHow many times have I said Jarrett Lee sucks tonight?
ReplyDeleteOne more time, JARETT LEE SUCKS
Well, LSU countered Bama's brain fart with one of their own. You have to at least get a field goal.
ReplyDeleteERGH
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, Eddie $ (nice avatar). The single-wing stuff isn't fooling anyone these days.
ReplyDeleteJulio Jones...what a catch.
I will take Kodi Burns over Jarret Lee all day long. Bama will win now.
ReplyDeleteThat stop fade is a deadly route.
ReplyDeleteJones is the shizz.
ReplyDeleteall ya gotta do is blitz the wildwhatever and make a solid tackle
ReplyDeleteLets see if we have another run left.
ReplyDeleteBall game dadgumit
ReplyDeleteThere's your SEC West Champion.
ReplyDeleteWHOOPS further review
ReplyDeleteAND Now ballgame....
ReplyDeleteGo Gators! Did I just say that?
ReplyDeleteAnd now the most classless cheer in football ensues.
ReplyDeleteBoy ole verne sounded like either he had a bet on the game or a dog in the fight didn't he? Lots of horns and roll tides round the hood here, wonder where all of em were lastyear?
ReplyDeleteWho's the guy in the suit "handling' JPW?
ReplyDeleteOne 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.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Eddie (about the cheer).
ReplyDeletewhat was the cell phone thing about? When JPW got the personal foul for holding his hand up like he was on the cell phone.
Tubs isn't nearly the cussing sailor that most coaches are. He can get mad as hell, but it usually is not profanitly ladened.
ReplyDeleteI'd trade some cussing for some fire in the belly.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you there Monica. I miss fire in the bell Tubs.
ReplyDeleteMonica,
ReplyDeleteLSU fans got JPW's cell number this week and called to harass him. They did the same thing to Tebow.
Bama better get out of town quick. 90 thousand drunk pissed off cajuns can be dangerous.
ReplyDeleteLSU Fans are the worst. That is ridiculous for them to do what they did to JPW and Tebow. I guess they really got the best of them at the end, especially loosing to both of them.
ReplyDeleteI'll be back in a few minutes. Take a shower and settle down for the night cap game. Should be a good one.
ReplyDeletei guess lsu fans get opposing qb's numbers somehow and everyone starts callin him, they did it to tebow and one other guy too i believe, pretty petty stuff if ya ask me. Lets get a lil bit better next week , Auburn.
ReplyDeleteOk, VW. The Brooke Shields thing was sort of funny when it started. But that commercial is as played out as the shotgun read sweep to Ben Tate.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Mr. S.!
ReplyDeleteTTech wins by 14 tonite. anyone else got a prediction?
ReplyDeleteI predict I will be upset if TT doesn't win.
ReplyDeleteI picked Ok. State this morning because they run the ball as well or better than anyone else in the Big 12.
ReplyDeleteNo reason to change now.
I do hope they light up the scoreboard.
That Troy game (17-7 snoozer) has me jonesing for some offense.
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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletesorry, UAT (Bama)
ReplyDeleteThe media (re:ESPN) is all over the Big 12/Big 10 love. Even when they lose.
ReplyDeleteDeep Thoughts from Eddie while taking a shower:
ReplyDeleteOhio State must be pumped now. It appears they will get a Big 10 championship ring without even really earning it.
The Potential Florida / Bama game is setting up as a play-in game for the BCS Championship game.
As for tonight, I like Oklahoma State to win a close one, 28-24.
WOW!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Auburn on their win.
Congrats Fake Hugh Nall on your win tonight. Can't say I was pulling for you, but congrats never the less.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to your team, Fake Steve.
ReplyDeleteI was pulling for your team because I can't stand LSU.
I'll take Oklahoma St. by 4 bear
ReplyDeleteMark May is still talking Penn State into the BCS.
ReplyDeletePredictable
Now only that Penn State and USC are on the outside looking in does the media start the "we need a playoff" stuff.
ReplyDeleteNo way will the voters put Penn State or any Big Ten team at this stage in the BCS Championship game. BOOK IT. Won't happen.
ReplyDeleteUrban can coach with the best of them, but he sure looks like he has something stuck up his a&& all the time.
ReplyDeleteOh, I know. It's funny how they wait to start that talk until teams they are in the bag for get hurt by the BCS formulas.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an SEC-Big 12 showdown for sure.
Well, we beat a mediocre UT-Martin team. But,,,,I am glad I am not a UT or fan right now. Or a Clemson fan....by basking in the glow of those other programs' losing, I win. My zen comment of the year.
ReplyDeleteBut President-Elect Obama said he wanted a playoff too so I bet we see it soon.
ReplyDelete;-)
Congrats, Faker.
ReplyDeleteHow was the BBQ/Cajun?
Check this out for a glimpse at the pulse of UT fan right now.
ReplyDeleteExcept that UT fans have hope and excitement as they search for the coach of their future. That's why I don't think UT would want our sympathy.
ReplyDeleteafter ohio state the last 2 yrs,there is no way a big 10 team gets in. it will be a big XII team vs. USC or SEC Champ. If/when we beat UA, they are still going to atl, but how bad would it ruin their season? and i know it would knock then out of NCG, but Fla will do that at SECCG.
ReplyDeleteIf you all think that President elect Obama can overcome the Tri Lateral Commission,,then you all are more naive than I thought.
ReplyDeleteMike Gundy needs to back off the hair product.
ReplyDeleteThe only president with a say in the BCS is the university presidents, and all they see are $$$$ signs. I am not convinced that you cannot have a 4 team or more playoff and not generate the money that is being made today.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he is in the hairclub for men. The comb over worked for me for a lotta years.
ReplyDelete"Tri Lateral Commission"
ReplyDeleteBawhaahahahahaha.
That's classic, DC.
I was just poking fun at him while it was still legal to do so.
Monica - I bet if he headbutted someone he would cut that person up badly.
Denny - You gotta stop with that comb over talk! Get's me all twitterpated.
ReplyDeleteMr. S. - LOL no doubt.
Speaking of hair - Richt should not be allowed in anymore championship games until he stops parting his hair right down the middle.
I'm giving out really good tips here. I hope y'all are taking notes.
THe TLC and Swiss bankers are behind the refusal to go to a playoff.
ReplyDeletewell, our solice= wyoming beat UT, Western Michigan beat Illinois, and Michigan beat Minnesota. ok, well the first 2 are at least minor upsets.
ReplyDeleteRicht+ NO hair to part of any significance. He needs to comb over.
ReplyDeleteThe + should be an =
ReplyDeleteCraig James, Doug Flutie, Lou Holtz, Mark May
ReplyDeleteWhich one of these guys will Tubs eventually replace?
Flutie
ReplyDeleteholtz, if there is a god in heaven or at ESPN
ReplyDeleteUnacceptable Richt Part
ReplyDeleteThat midnight rider on the horse thing is cool!
ReplyDeleteWe should release a tiger to lead the team on the fie....nevermind. Bad idea.
I know it won't be Mark May, but he has really gotten on my nerves this year.
ReplyDeleteFlutie is so blah.
I'm still here. Arrrgh.
ReplyDeleteThe upside: Maybe I can catch Okla. State on Sirius during the drive home.
Leach - He's medicated.
ReplyDeleteIf you want a real ly balanced opinion on politics, you really ought to check out this site
ReplyDeletehttp://www.jbs.org/
Be safe on the way home.
ReplyDeleteDid you get a big scoop, Jay G.?
Lou Holtz Mr. S- He is about to go the way of the stroke anyways. If Holtz has a stroke, then he will really be incoherable.
ReplyDeleteBig turnover.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't be in the shotgun on 3rd and 1. I don't care what offense you run.
Not starting out well for the mad scientist
ReplyDeleteBBQ & Jambalaya were great. Even the Auburn fans here are having a good time.
ReplyDeleteWe are about to break into the Knob Creek Whiskey now. Talk to y'all later...
Running game.
ReplyDeleteTold ya'll.
Big play to OK State. See if the capitalize on it.
ReplyDeleteNevermind, 1st and goal.
Looks like the Texas Tech of old.
ReplyDeleteThat Mike Gundy, He's a man, he's now 41
ReplyDeleteTEST
ReplyDeleteLMAO OH MY LOWERED! Faker is posting on the HABOTN WHILE he has guests!!
ReplyDeleteToo funny.
Let's see how Texas Tech comes back. I believe OK State has a decent defense for Big XII standards.
ReplyDeleteits the white pants for Tech. they need to go to the locker room, and put on the black pants. its all abou the pants
ReplyDeleteROLL TIDE !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSHUT YOU AUBURN FANS UP....
YOU SHOULD CHEER FOR YOUR TEAMS IN ALABAMA.
come on Auburn will get better you will see.
cincy spanking WV. will Auburn ever change their uniforms? does anyone think they should, not as much as Oregon, but change them a bit?
ReplyDeleteThis is off topic, but I just thought off another ESPN analyst that really gets on my nerves.
ReplyDeleteRobert Smith. He is worse than Holtz in my opinion.
Why can't we get a kicker to put it out of the endzone. I mean we had one 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI wish the Banhammer worked on this side of Valhalla.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Tim. Always bring classless to the uneducated.
ReplyDeleteBear, I love our uni's HUGE. The home uni is the best. As a matter of fact weren't they in the ESPN Top 10 in the last couple of years?
ReplyDeleteCrabtree is a player.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous,
ReplyDeleteI remember by first beer too
Too bad he'll wind up on a sorry NFL team probably.
ReplyDeleteYou know there's only one thing more painful than the banhammer....being ignored.
ReplyDeleteMonica- I believe the Home Uni's have been on the top 10 for awhile now. I like the white uni's better.
ReplyDeleteDenny, I think Anon was hitting the Cisco tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis maybe a high scoring game. Big surprise huh?
ReplyDeletewell, Texas Tech just scored like it was no problem. I wonder what that feels like.
ReplyDeleteGreat wheel route.
ReplyDeleteDid we run that wheel to Tristan any today?
Or are we saving it for UGA & UA?
Of course it will be, Eddie. That's one reason it's so cool to watch!! Especially considering...ya know...
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know Denny Crum. I'm numb to that sort of thing.
ReplyDeleteJust added several quotes to the main blog. Ensminger wasn't available because of a prior Auburn Network commitment.
ReplyDelete1st quarter predictions now?
ReplyDeleteTexas Tech 17 - Ok State 17.
yes, i love the unis also, but i also gotta admit that I like teams like Utah, TTech who have 2 home colored jerseys & pants, and switch them often, not like UGA's "blackouts". i guess just personal preference. No, i do not have a clue what another AU jersey/pants would/could look like, just throwing out ideas. Yeah, i wondered if Jay G heard something big, since he was going o leave 45 minutes ago and was still there.
ReplyDeleteDunn: I was like woo hooo
ReplyDeleteLOL love it
What's the deal with the fatique comments again? I am wondering about what kind of shape we are in. I believe in Yox, but something is amiss.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you said it, Eddie. I've had my hand spanked enough over it.
ReplyDeleteHow about this proto-type Auburn Jersey:
ReplyDeleteNavy Blue Helments with AU Logos
Navy Blue Jersey
Navy Blue Pants.
I have seen it in the equipment room before. IT LOOKS SHARP.
How many of Rhodes' horses are going to be out to pasture next week?
ReplyDeletefla- 21-0 over vandy in 1st qtr. they will KILL UA
ReplyDeleteI will withdraw all donations if they go to an all one color uni. I hate that with a passion. It's so bush league.
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll simma down now. :-)
we now know how to get Monica fired up, uniforms and conditioning :)
ReplyDeleteI would love the above uniforms. I wouldn't pull donations over uniforms, I would pull donations over loosing games and not doing anything about it.
ReplyDeleteInteresting thing about Butch Davis and the Tennessee job.
ReplyDeleteSingle color uniforms are so Division 1 AA or Division II
ReplyDeletePenn State looks good in all White, Texas Tech in all black looks good. Oregon in ..... just kidding.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Denny!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd let me tell you. Auburn would have to shut the doors without MY donations.
(cough)
Ok, you know I wouldn't pull my anything. I just used that for affect. Let's call it artistic license.
wow, TTech is good. looked like Harrell was gonnaget sacked, they get 22 yrds.
ReplyDeleteEddie - You just like picking on me. That's ok. I can take it. ;-)
ReplyDeleteShotgon from 1st and goal from 5 and results in TD. We could never do that.
ReplyDeleteWe could do. We'd fumble or go backwards, but we could do and have done it this year.
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't pick on you, I wouldn't like you. My favorite person to pick on is Steve. I wonder where he is tonight?
ReplyDeleteHerby is right about one thing. You can't play man-to-man with this bunch.
ReplyDeleteThe mad scientist will pick-a-part man to man. I agree with Herby on that also.
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteWhat position will Tebow play (if he plays) in the NFL?
ReplyDeletewhat did the tubs say? great game, went just like we planned. everything is going well. we are getting better.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI don't think he is either, Eddie.
ReplyDeleteI 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?
ReplyDeleteBrent gettin lil cited
ReplyDeleteMan, Troy must have run 20 screens today. Some worked, some didn't, but they were a big part of the gameplan down there.
ReplyDeleteTebow 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.
ReplyDeleteExactly 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.
ReplyDeleteAs 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.
ReplyDeleteEddie asked:"How many times this year have we had our screens blown up?" i believe the answer is every.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it so hard to get a WR to block on a screen?
ReplyDeleteMike Leach
ReplyDeleteAnnual 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteIn 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.
ReplyDeleteeddie4au, 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.
ReplyDeletebramlett & 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
ReplyDeleteHow 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?
ReplyDeleteCrabtree can't be stopped.
ReplyDeleteI'll give TT (Leach's high-octane team, not our on-fumes coach), they are exciting to watch
ReplyDeleteCRABTREE IS A MAN! He's 20! Come after HIM!.. oh, wait; wrong team
ReplyDeletewootang- a third of the plays have probably been screens. Worked like a charm most of the time.
ReplyDeleteAdded several Tuberville quotes to the main thread.
ReplyDeleteDo 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.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many points Florida will hang on Vandy tonight?
I'll vote for a new one.
ReplyDeletenew one
ReplyDeleteI would love to have crabtree. He is the best WR in college if you ask me. That play to beat Texas was freakin awesome.
ReplyDeleteDid UTM line up with no safety on defense as everyone else has all season long?
ReplyDeleteDoes 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.
