Loganville Tiger said...: Davies SUXS; 8:02 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Not a very productive possession.; 8:02 PM

Miller said...: c'mon... we've got to tackle better; 8:03 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Ouch; 8:03 PM
J. Kev said...: Devine. He was FAH before McAleb was FAH.; 8:04 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Adversity has come to call..... Now we will see what we are made of.; 8:04 PM
Miller said...: our defense might as well have stayed in the dang locker room; 8:04 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Now it's time for the "we have to answer NOW" post.; 8:06 PM
WarEagleRK said...: 140 yards given up by our D in 5 mins.; 8:06 PM
Jet said...: Please inform the D that conscientiously objecting to tackle won't hold up; 8:08 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: We need to run right up the middle against the 3-3-5, this outside running isn't goin to work.; 8:09 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Nice catch by Smith; 8:10 PM

Miller said...: we look pitiful so far... D damn well better step it up; 8:16 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Our KO coverage is terrible.; 8:16 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We maybe the worst on kickoffs and punts of any team in the country.

They really don't need a short field.; 8:17 PM
Miller said...: are you kidding me??; 8:17 PM
Dave in Denver said...: I saw a missed tackle by Freeman on that last TD run; 8:17 PM

WarEagleRK said...: That helps!; 8:17 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: YES YES YES; 8:17 PM

Miller said...: score now, dadgumit!; 8:18 PM
digger4au said...: O lione is not coming off the ball WHY?; 8:18 PM
WarEagleRK said...: That 3-3-5 D is keeping the front six up pretty close.; 8:19 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: great play call so close.; 8:20 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Set your feet Burns, set your f'n feet.; 8:21 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Now we know why Kodi is the Wildcar quarterback; 8:21 PM

digger4au said...: TOUCHDOWN AUBURN; 8:22 PM
Miller said...: The play by play guy is beyond awful... that's now the 4th time he's called a guy by the wrong name..; 8:22 PM
digger4au said...: Now lets do something on the kickoff and get a stop!!!; 8:22 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: To this point we are staring Adversity right dead in the eyes.; 8:22 PM
Unknown said...: I didn't think Todd could be this slick in the passing game. I thought we would see Tate running the ball a lot more.; 8:23 PM
WarEagleRK said...: This definately isn't last years team.

Last years team would have been dead.; 8:24 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: .....And not blinking; 8:24 PM
Unknown said...: The FAH stuff isn't something that will get this WV defense. They practive against Noel Devine. We need to be bullies and push the little guys around!!!; 8:24 PM
missinit said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 8:24 PM
WarEagleRK said...: A lot of people don't think about it, but sometimes it's easier to pass on a wet field...the receivers know where they are going...the DB's if they have to adjust it's hard to get traction.; 8:25 PM
Unknown said...: Who was that backup fullback, King? I heard the name on the radio. Who the heck is that?; 8:25 PM
Miller said...: we might as well try an onside kick... We're apparently going to give it to them at midfield anyway, might as well give ourselves a chance to recover the kick; 8:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Finally a good special teams stop.; 8:25 PM
digger4au said...: OK "D" lets do it; 8:26 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: TACKLE; 8:26 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Georgia taking over the game from Ark, up 30-21...as I type that Devine just runs through us.; 8:26 PM
Miller said...: devine isn't having a problem running...; 8:27 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We just let that guy hang out there.; 8:28 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We need to protect the middle of the field.; 8:28 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Ethridge!!!!! Where are you?; 8:29 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We can't tackle...and every time Brown rolls out we can't cover.; 8:30 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Piss poor job out there tackling.; 8:31 PM
stupup74 said...: Ted Roof needs to be fired if he can't teach tackling any better than this.; 8:31 PM
Miller said...: I haven't seen an AU defense play this bad in a very, very long time... pitiful; 8:31 PM
digger4au said...: This defense left it in the locker room or somewhere. This is pitiful; 8:31 PM
WarEagleRK said...: WVU over 200 yards in the 1st quarter.; 8:32 PM
digger4au said...: That coach is just grinning this is too easy.; 8:32 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Hope it is 38 point first Q after our next possession; 8:33 PM
WarEagleRK said...: The way the D is reacting to the 1st team with speed we've played all year, time to revise expectations unless something fires them up.; 8:34 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Todd needs to throw that screen a whole lot quicker than he has been.; 8:35 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Should have been picked there.; 8:36 PM
BigEZ said...: buckle up kids; 8:36 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: This is about to get ugly; 8:36 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We needed 10 yards...not 7.; 8:36 PM
Miller said...: Who knew Trott would drop one?; 8:36 PM
BigEZ said...: Trott still can't catch..oh boy; 8:36 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Wouldn't have mattered, we didn't need 7 yards.; 8:37 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Did the announcing team go to the bar during the delay? They are bad normally - but this is pathetic.; 8:38 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Everytime Brown rolls out we are in trouble as their recievers are alone.; 8:38 PM
BigEZ said...: A little shocked at the D so far.; 8:38 PM
WarEagleRK said...: The Bull isn't as advertised. So far a lot of noise, but not much substance.; 8:39 PM
BigEZ said...: I think Devine just had another kid in between plays.; 8:40 PM
Anonymous said...: That's gotta be the worst first quarter in recent Auburn defensive history.; 8:40 PM
Jet said...: Despite all the flash of our offensive design, you win at football by running successfully, stopping the run and playing solid in special teams.

Other than the FG, we're getting skunked.; 8:41 PM
ehyou said...: If any of you guys see Bramblett in the near future please tell him to just go away.; 8:42 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Sensi: That was only 219 yards.; 8:42 PM
BigEZ said...: AMEN Jet. WOW, just WOW.; 8:43 PM
digger4au said...: The stupid annoucers said Auburn defense has really been on the field a lot. BS they have scored so fast the defense should not even be blowing.; 8:43 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We have to have a stop here.; 8:44 PM
WarEagleRK said...: The flag will probably help us, but that was a pathetic effort on our part again.; 8:44 PM
BigEZ said...: BYU givin up 53 to FSU, Wow again.; 8:45 PM

WarEagleRK said...: 1st good punt return of the year.; 8:46 PM

BigEZ said...: Bad; 8:48 PM
BigEZ said...: Bad; 8:48 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I am very dissapointed in the play calling. He talked about beating the opponent in the mouth, but Malzahn has not made any attempt at running it up the gut with Tate and Smith.; 8:49 PM
Unknown said...: Run the frickin football with Tate on first down. Run straight ahead. Cut out the cutesy crap!!!; 8:49 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I've noticed in this game, Todd seems to not be getting his feet set, even when he isn't being rushed.; 8:49 PM
Unknown said...: This is a fast defense. You run straight at a fast defense dang gum it!!!; 8:50 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I know we are down, but there is plenty of time, we don't have to do crazy stuff just yet.

However, the sound you are hearing are expectations crashing all around.; 8:50 PM
stupup74 said...: It would be nice if McClain would have showed up. The line is getting killed

If all it takes to make the Gus Bus offense look this bad is a 3 man line, Alabama will beat us by 70; 8:51 PM

I refuse to believe otherwise.; 8:58 PM

J. Kev said...: I know who it was. He still could've caught that ball.; 8:59 PM
ehyou said...: Guess what? Bramblett ridiculed the officiating.; 8:59 PM
Unknown said...: goodness; these commentators are horrific. Calebb? and I loved how earlier he had a whole conversation about "Todd"; how he lost the job in the fall, worked as a wildcat guy, etc. and how Todd won the battle for QB in the spring. geezus; 8:59 PM

missinit said...: I swear to you I WILL get it together!; 9:06 PM
Unknown said...: I just cannot believe the atrocious tackling so far. I know WV is quick, but so is FAH. The wet field should not contribute to poor angles and grabbing at cloth instead of hitting. i hope and think it will improve; 9:07 PM
