Unknown said...: Supposedly Brown's passing is the best part about him. That is what worried me. I like Todzilla, but I didn't think we could win the game if it came down to the battle of the QBs.; 11:16 PM

WarEagleRK said...: It ends as it should...the D making up for their early transgressions!; 11:16 PM
FSJ said...: LOL...; 11:17 PM
Unknown said...: War Frickin Eagle!!! What a heck of a game. This game will build confidence in this team. Even if we had lost, we played a heck of a game.; 11:17 PM

WarEagleRK said...: 411 total yards for us.

479 for them.; 11:18 PM
Aeronaut said...: Every time Burns runs, the ticker says Wes Byrum run; 11:19 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I know we need to do it to try to keep the D honest...but Todd never ever, never ever...and again I say never ever needs to run the ball.

Todd is banged up, he was riding the bike on the sidelines while the D was on the field.; 11:19 PM
Unknown said...: Punt the ball and order the pizza!!!; 11:20 PM
Anonymous said...: Reckon we'll work on tackling fundamentals next week?....we better; 11:20 PM
Jet said...: Tell IV, they're playing Tiger Rag for him right now.

Guys, we had every reason to check out down 14-0.

And we didn't.; 11:20 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Hard to believe we were down 14-0 5 mins into the game.; 11:20 PM
Anonymous said...: Top 25 after this?; 11:21 PM
Unknown said...: Welcome to the top 25 tigers.; 11:21 PM
WarEagleRK said...: The D will be told to wrap up a million times this week.

Out of bounds at the 81 yard line.; 11:21 PM
Anonymous said...: We've started slow in every game. This time 14-0. We can't keep doing that.; 11:22 PM
Miller said...: A win is a win... and the turnovers were great... but, I'm not pleased with the defense...; 11:22 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Bramblet was right...this crowd was amazing tonight.; 11:22 PM
Norm said...: Thank goodness that's over.; 11:22 PM

Anonymous said...: 3-0!!!! War Eagle.; 11:22 PM
Norm said...: I couldn't take much more.; 11:23 PM
WarEagleRK said...: D.Miller,

Despite the problems, the D won this game. 24 points off of turnovers.

They played a lot better starting in the 2nd quarter while the offense struggled to get any consistency.; 11:23 PM
Unknown said...: Actually, in the previos two games we started strong, but had bad second quarters. This game we did okay in the second, but had a rough first quarter.; 11:23 PM
BigEZ said...: I guess the "THUD" practices might be over.; 11:23 PM
Jet said...: No fussing here ... we climbed off the deck and won a big football game.

I'll let Chiz, Roof and Gus handle that tomorrow.; 11:25 PM
Unknown said...: So, Sensi could have been right with his WV 35, AU 31 pick. Without the turnovers, that is about what it was looking like.

I was off too, picking AU 42, WV 24.; 11:25 PM
Miller said...: I know the turnovers won the game for us... those were as much gifts as they were takeaways.... I'm talking about assignment D and fundamentals... This is the worst tackling AU defense I have seen in years.; 11:25 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: I dunno if we'll get in, there aren't many teams in top 25 that lost this week. I think we should but its not a guarantee; 11:25 PM
WarEagleRK said...: This team showed heart that they didn't have at all last year.; 11:25 PM
Aeronaut said...: Yes Hoopie. I had live video.

WDE.; 11:26 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: It doesn't matter either way, we will be in next week assuming we beat Ball St.; 11:26 PM
Unknown said...: RK, you are right about that. We have been behind at one point in every game this season. Many teams would fold after being down 14-0. These kids believe in each other. I love what I am seeing from this team.; 11:27 PM
Unknown said...: WV worried me. Ball State will not.; 11:28 PM
Jet said...: Tackling is tomorrow morning's problem.

Tonight is for rejoicing that the couches have been saved, and that the West Virginians have been repelled and sent back to their shanties.; 11:28 PM
Aeronaut said...: Auburn is the first SEC team that has beaten WVU in a very, very long time.

It's great to be an Auburn tiger.; 11:29 PM
BigEZ said...: That's the main thing. Dare I say it? Last year we would have been done in the first quarter. There, I said it.; 11:29 PM
Unknown said...: We had some terrible tackling in the first quarter that gave them a lot of momentum.; 11:30 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We have to work on the tackle issue the next 2 weeks, because UT has a good D and RB's that are hard to bring down.; 11:30 PM
Norm said...: Not pretty at all. But, they played with heart start to finish. I loved it. Regardless of what they did to my heartburn.; 11:30 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Auburn allowed 509 yards.

Gained 400.; 11:31 PM
Unknown said...: I love games like that. I won't be able to sleep for a long time, but I will live with it:); 11:31 PM
Norm said...: Now it's time for a Scooby Snack and bed.

3 - 0 is mighty sweet.

Keep Hate Alive.; 11:31 PM
Unknown said...: I'll take points over yardage any day, although I would prefer to have both.; 11:31 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Six turnovers (5 picks) changed the game. Or so you'll read in the Advertiser tomorrow.

Gamer sent 90 seconds after the final whistle. I'm happy with that.; 11:31 PM
JgobravesHAG said...: I guess I'll take it; 11:32 PM
BigEZ said...: Yeah Steve, I'm all worked up and sweaty. That doesn't sound right.; 11:32 PM
Unknown said...: I think we will be favored over both Tennessee and Arkansas now. That is far from what I thought at the start of the season. I was hoping we would win one of those.; 11:32 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Look at jhag getting all tight about it!; 11:33 PM
IV said...: Thanks for the info on Tiger Rag Jet. That is the anthem I want played at my funeral. I love it. Did the Eagle get to fly tonight or did the rain stop that?; 11:33 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Still my vote for quote of the game...

"He's out of bounds at the 81 yard line"

-ESPN's Mark Jones.; 11:33 PM
ehyou said...: jet...
Congrats on the successful couch saving campaign.; 11:33 PM
Unknown said...: We have an excellent chance of winning more games than we did last year in the first 6 games.; 11:34 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: No eagle flight. Weather.; 11:34 PM
Aeronaut said...: I missed some of the second quarter. But I can't believe I missed this?

3rd and 8 at WVU 40 : Jarrett Brown sacked by Barrett Trotter for a loss of 12 yards to the WVirg 28.; 11:35 PM
Unknown said...: Jay, any word on injuries?; 11:36 PM
BigEZ said...: I've seen plenty of other teams win ballgames the same way and it didn't bother them, also watched LSU win a NC with two losses, both SEC so for whatever that's worth.; 11:36 PM
Jet said...: We all thought it would be a shootout of some sort ... and it was ... I don't like giving up 500 ... but the defense forces six turnovers, and we win by 11.

I'm not complaining until tomorrow.; 11:36 PM
Unknown said...: Who the heck is Jason King and why haven't I heard of him before. Usually I don't go huh when they mention a player's name.; 11:37 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I think the OL struggled more than the D did tonight.; 11:37 PM
WarEagleRK said...: King is the backup FB...John Douglas didn't play.; 11:38 PM
Jet said...: My weekend was filled with two blood pressure elevated games.

No football for me tomorrow ... unfortunately an 8 a.m. flight.

I'll be out of pocket for most of the week.

Hotties, have fun. War Eagle.; 11:38 PM
IV said...: Thanks Jay. Another outstanding job of reporting. You are the man.; 11:38 PM
Unknown said...: The offensive line didn't bother me, but the blocking of the backs did.; 11:39 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I'll miss watching next week's game live, but I trust we can handle Ball State while I'm watching Buddy Guy.; 11:39 PM
Unknown said...: I was nice to see Tommy "Day-to-Day" Trott out there too.; 11:40 PM
Unknown said...: Ball ST game- will it be on tv? I haven't heard, sorry; 11:40 PM
Unknown said...: Fox Sports I believe, Bear.; 11:41 PM
Unknown said...: gracias, steve; 11:42 PM
Unknown said...: Congrats on an excellent Pickem performance, Cincy.; 11:43 PM
weagle251 said...: It feels odd to complain about an ugly game when we put 41 points on the board.

Jet's got it right. Tackling issues can be tomorrow morning's problem. Auburn clawed their way back when they could've cashed it in. War Damn Eagle.; 11:43 PM
Unknown said...: I am very proud of the way the team performed. That WV offense is better than many thought it would be after losing Pat White.; 11:44 PM
Unknown said...: I was disappointed that they got us into a passing mode early. FAH was getting swallowed up and I kept waiting for them to give Tate the ball.; 11:45 PM
Anonymous said...: I feel that the d had more problems thatn the O...tackling.

I'll go ahead and take credit for the closest prediction...which was 38-35...last team to score wins.; 11:46 PM
Anonymous said...: Steve..our oline got blown back early....couldn't run.; 11:47 PM
Unknown said...: Hey, I was within 7 points of the score.; 11:47 PM
WarEagleRK said...: The d's tackling was horrible...but they did make the plays that won the game for us.

I thought the OL really struggled...we couldn't open any holes and Todd was getting hit on every play.; 11:48 PM
Unknown said...: We were trying to run outside. Tate up the gut was there. They were blitzing their linebackers, usually two on every play.; 11:48 PM
Unknown said...: West Virginia has 79 plays and we had 74. You don't usually see those type of numbers.; 11:50 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: Gene Chizik: ``I wish I had 87,000 game balls."; 11:50 PM
WarEagleRK said...: WVU kept lining their DE's far outside of our tackles and that cut any runs outside out.; 11:51 PM
Anonymous said...: We beat them on the O and D lines at the end of the 1st and 2nd halfs. They beat us at the beginning. Other than conditioning or in half adjustments helping us to overcome, I don't what else to make of it.; 11:51 PM
Unknown said...: Our game isn't on SEC digital yet, but MSU and Vandy is. Woohoo!!! MOre football to watch!!!; 11:53 PM
ehyou said...: threadheadzup; 11:53 PM
Anonymous said...: RK...I didn't notice the ends, but will check out the DVR later. Xs and Os during the game aren't my strong point...I need film.

Could you tell if we adjusted our blocking or wore them down as the half progresed?; 11:54 PM
WarEagleRK said...: We adjusted, but our backs didn't do a good job picking up the blitz a some key plays.; 11:59 PM
