2nd half: Auburn @ LSU

Hey everyone. We're watching -- and commenting on -- the second half of Auburn's game at Louisiana State University.

LSU POSSESSION ONE: TOUCHDOWN. Brandon LaFell 17 pass from Jordan Jefferson. PAT kick good. Drive covered 45 yards in four plays.
AUBURN POSSESSION ONE: FIELD GOAL. Wes Byrum 24 yards. Drive covered 53 yards in nine plays.
LSU POSSESSION TWO: PUNT.
AUBURN POSSESSION TWO: PUNT. Auburn burrowed into LSU territory, but the drive faded fast once it crossed mid-field.
LSU POSSESSION THREE: TOUCHDOWN. Russell Shepard 70 run. PAT kick good. That's a wrap, kids.
I'm no longer updating this in real-time because, well, I have to write and I know how this one is going to end.

Loganville Tiger said...: This is bad........; 8:36 PM
Jet said...: I was going to post first, but I held up and didn't hit the enter key, got sacked and fumbled.; 8:37 PM
WarEagleRK said...: It seems offensive coordinators love picking on a certain DB.; 8:37 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: WE SUCK!!! I'm A FAIR WEATHER FAN ACCORDING TO STEVE!!!!!; 8:37 PM
Anonymous said...: Well, that didn't take long.

Here's a positive thought - plenty of room for recruits to come in and contribute.; 8:37 PM
Jet said...: RK ... looks like they got both of 'em on this drive.; 8:38 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Well the good news is we get to see quickly if AU's offense is going to do anything in the 2nd half, or if we can all just go to bed.; 8:38 PM
WarEagleRK said...: It could be worse, that's positive, right?; 8:38 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: are we going to score?; 8:38 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Jet,

I had just typed that right as the TD pass was thrown.; 8:38 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: They're only down 24.

Malzahn's offense averaged more than that at one time.; 8:39 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Not much RK; 8:39 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: thanks for the positive influence Jay; 8:39 PM
Anonymous said...: Jay G. for the win; 8:39 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Why the F is Todd still in the game? It's over. Let's see something else. I hope the media rips him.; 8:40 PM
Jet said...: Ben Tate is averaging 53 yards per carry, according to the graphic.; 8:40 PM
Unknown said...: yeah, Jay, but that was for a game, not a half. thanks for the positivity, though!; 8:40 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Jet,

You think we'd run him more at that pace.; 8:41 PM
Scott Coats said...: TATE!; 8:42 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Bob Davie: "trickeration."

Am I a fair weather fan to point out he's the worst ESPN announcer on their rotation? Steve?; 8:42 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: Hey Jay, why dont you do a Mitch Albom and finish your article now with the score as is. Its not unethical. wink.; 8:42 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: More good news- Ben Tate is still a badass; 8:42 PM
WarEagleRK said...: At least we know Ben Tate won't quit.; 8:42 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Well, FSU played as badly as we did against UNC the other night and was down 18 points at this point in the game, but turned it around and won.

I can dream, can't I?; 8:42 PM
Anonymous said...: Ben Tate is a bad man.

Will be doing that on Sundays.

Good for him.; 8:42 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Freep- That's definitely dreaming.; 8:43 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: todd pitches the ball as soon as he gets it, is it just me, or is that not the purpose of the option, where are any playmakers; 8:43 PM
Scott Coats said...: Can't the crowd see the no-huddle and not just sense it?; 8:43 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Eric Smith is money on that route.; 8:43 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Todd is just "fine." See????; 8:44 PM
Anonymous said...: Nice catch and throw to ESmith.; 8:44 PM
Unknown said...: i wonder if sacred as he** is on the bench for this half? keep running tate.. improve your draft status; 8:44 PM
Anonymous said...: Though, technically, the wheel route has been around Auburn for many recent years.; 8:44 PM
Jet said...: Dem crazy cajuns are blind drunk.; 8:44 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: freep, fed-ex me what u are drinking, we may keep it close like Ut did against us, its called garbage points, eric smith catches like he hits people in the back of the head.....wait for it....lights out..lol; 8:45 PM
Jet said...: All Kodi does is tell them that we're not passing.; 8:45 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Burns at QB = D knows it's a run play.; 8:45 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Doubled our offensive output from the first half already.; 8:45 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Why not just give Tate the ball 4 times and see if he can't get it done?; 8:45 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: I hate the wildcat.... Bust up the rythem; 8:45 PM
Unknown said...: yes, i refuse to call him fast as he** until he proves it again; 8:45 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: we cant force it...ughhhh; 8:45 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Well that started out promising.; 8:45 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Just attempting to find some reason for positivity, PDWT.; 8:46 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Avoid the shutout.; 8:46 PM
Scott Coats said...: Yay points!; 8:46 PM
Anonymous said...: WAY TO GO BYRUM!; 8:46 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: No shut out..... That's a positive.....; 8:46 PM
Dear Leader said...: no shut out here... we can move the ball...

d 3 and out lets get to 10 in the next 3 minutes...; 8:46 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: I don't hate the wildcat, I hate the personnel they have running it. Not the player individually, but the fact that they have the wrong one running it.; 8:46 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Byrum is still money this year, so there's that.; 8:46 PM
Scott Coats said...: Am I the only person born and raised in Alabama who hates "Sweet Home Alabama?"; 8:46 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: wareagle rk, god i know, the whole friggin conference knows when he is in he is running the inside run...its soooo predictable, what about that trick play with travante stallworth; 8:47 PM
WDCWE said...: No doubt about Tate. I will take him over Ingram any day.; 8:47 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Not watching the game right now, just following along on the internets. . .did LSU still have their 1st string defense in on that drive?; 8:47 PM
Jet said...: Scottcoats ...

nope, I'[m with you.; 8:47 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Well, this ensures we won't see Erin Andrews again this year. Irrelevancy blows in so many ways.; 8:47 PM
Dear Leader said...: not to sound stupid but we can win this game.... LSU's o is stoppable if we show up... O needs to show up..

Next time,,, keep running ben and stop getting cute with the wildcat...; 8:47 PM
Anonymous said...: Todd looked good on that drive. Bringing in Kodi killed the momentum. Why not run Tate there instead?; 8:48 PM
Anonymous said...: I hate it as well from years of having to play it in cover bands.; 8:48 PM
Anonymous said...: Because Kodi is a leader. He's an Auburn man. He deserves it.

At least, that's what we're told.; 8:49 PM
Anonymous said...: The D needs to force a 3 and out.; 8:49 PM
scottiep said...: yeah, I don't think Kodi is the answer at Wildcat. Seems to me we'd be better with a speed option or a punishing runner option.

If I'm on defense, I don't fear Kodi throwing--he's not good.; 8:49 PM
Scott Coats said...: What are we hoping to accomplish there?; 8:49 PM
Dear Leader said...: maybe one of these upbacks will fumble; 8:49 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: JUST KICK THE DAMN BALL OUT OF BOUNDS IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO THAT CRAP~; 8:49 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: when Sweet Home Alabama come out, they played it at all the parties in Auburn and back then it still belonged to the whole state

Now it is a sick bama song; 8:49 PM
Anonymous said...: Kodi is a leader. He's an Auburn man. He deserves it.

Don't forget that. It's important.; 8:49 PM
Unknown said...: stop the pooch kick . lsu almost in fg position already; 8:49 PM
WarEagleRK said...: At the very least The Bull has come to play tonight.; 8:50 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: stan white agrees, pooch kick equals dumb ass, hey lets give them the ball at mid-field, wtf, boulware...mmmmm; 8:50 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: So why hasn't El Toro been playing again?; 8:50 PM
Dear Leader said...: fannin is the perfect wildcat..

he can throw; 8:50 PM
ADP said...: What was the play that killed the drive? That's right. The wildcat. IT DOESN'T work on the goal line. TATE works on the goal line. C'mon Gus. Wake up man!; 8:50 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Scott, right now I'm thinking "That Smell" is more appropriate.

Hey, just remembered - you know where Skynrd was scheduled to play the night their plane went down? ?

Louisiana State University.

Coincidence? I think not.; 8:51 PM
Scott Coats said...: Kodi is a leader. He is an Auburn man. He deserves it.

Got it.; 8:51 PM
Dear Leader said...: Our coverage sucks.. the upbacks cannot run one back; 8:51 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: Great catch by R.R.; 8:51 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: war eagle girl, i agree, wife and i still yell war damn eagle,; 8:51 PM
Jet said...: what a throw and catch.; 8:51 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: anyone surprised we gave that up?; 8:51 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Almost perfect coverage.... Almost; 8:51 PM
scottiep said...: when exactly did TV commentators decide they needed to be funny and part of the "story."

Please just describe the game to me.; 8:51 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: that was a hail mary, pooch kick, pooch kick, pooch kick, pooch kick, pooch kick, pooch kick, pooch kick; 8:52 PM
Unknown said...: please tell walt its ok to put your arms up in the air to knock down a pass- THAT is not illegal; 8:52 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: D is playing well considering; 8:52 PM
Anonymous said...: Ahh, well. We still got Furman, right?

It'll get better. It must.; 8:52 PM
Jet said...: Bear ... that was just a great throw and catch ... Walt had him buttoned up.; 8:52 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Gus gets an F- for game plan tonight.; 8:52 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: That was just a nice catch by Randle.

Carter is playing well. The Bull is playing well. Defense is not playing poorly. Just NO assistance from O and consistently bad field position; 8:53 PM
Scott Coats said...: Draw

or screen.; 8:53 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: If I had a choice - I would take 3rd & 8; 8:53 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: F.U Alabama
War Damn Eagle
Go to hell LSU

F.U Alabama
War Damn Eagle
Ole Miss sucks too

Is that the song ya'll are referring to?; 8:53 PM
WarEagleRK said...: Look for the ball Thorpe!; 8:54 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Oops, I suppose comparing AU's performance tonight to a tragic fatal plane crash is a little on the negative side.

More positivity: I think Roof & Co. listened to our advice about loading up to stop the run and forcing Jefferson to beat us.

Unfortunately, he is.

Damn! Did it again!!!; 8:54 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Thorpe LOOK FOR THE BALL!!!

Who was that blazing on the QB? El Toro (again)????; 8:54 PM
Scott Coats said...: Did Will Muschamp sneak back in as DC? Why will teh DBs not turn around?; 8:54 PM
Wakeriderof87 said...: That was good coverage by Thorpe, just needs to go for the ball next time.; 8:54 PM
Jet said...: That was lucky, Walt.; 8:54 PM
Unknown said...: bro- yeah, great throw and catch; but DBs should be taught to raise the arms when the ball approaches and/or when the WR puts his hands up. other than that, he was on his hip. now that poke-out was a GREAT play on the ball; 8:54 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Lucky there; 8:54 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Nice play by McFadden to knock the ball out.; 8:54 PM

digger4au said...: PPL was headed for the 50 yard line he wasn't going to be near that punt; 8:57 PM
Jet said...: Norm was the smart one ... he detached his retina so he wouldn't be able to watch this one.; 8:57 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: ok, next weekend, i have to go see my brother n law play his last regular season football game at 7 pm in Friday, that ends, drive to Montgomery, check in to hotel by mmmm. 1 am, get up by 7 am, head to auburn, park, tailgate, chug beers, watch that gem of a game, ole miss vs auburn at 11:30 am, then drive back to mobile, the 24 hours from hell, i cant wait....whooooeee....; 8:57 PM

WarEagleRK said...: What is the purpose of Kodi being in on that last play?; 9:00 PM
Scott Coats said...: Make that 14 times plus a 5 point turn in front of the house.; 9:00 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: McCalleb must be pretty hurt, havent seen him. eric smith has great hands; 9:00 PM

i am 1.5 bottles into some 2 buck chuck; 9:02 PM
Dear Leader said...: we need to score quick ... we do nto have time for 18 play 14 min drives; 9:03 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I don't think FAH has played since he ran straight to the sidelines on a play he could have cut back inside for more yards.; 9:03 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Is that Up Chuck after the 2nd bottle goes down?; 9:03 PM
Unknown said...: we will not throw. LSU knows this. i wont be surprised to see 8 or 9 in the box; 9:04 PM
Dear Leader said...: roll the pocket and run; 9:04 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: Your right RK; 9:04 PM
Dear Leader said...: why are we punting; 9:04 PM
Unknown said...: i was wrong. we will throw. we will throw it 15 yards out of bounds.; 9:04 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Complaints about the lack of Fanin involvement are reminiscent of last year. Why do our off coord not understand how productive the guy is and not get him the ball more?; 9:04 PM
Fearless Freep said...: Positivity: Todd has completed 8 of his 12 pass attempts.

Negativity: Half of them have been for 1 yard or less.; 9:04 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Way to pack it in.; 9:04 PM
WarEagleRK said...: That pump fake shook off the camera man with the coverage down the sideline. Once Todd pumped that camera guy wasn't making the play.; 9:05 PM
Scott Coats said...: Wow.; 9:05 PM
scottiep said...: help me out, does FAH=Fannin?

If so, can someone explain?; 9:05 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Quack quack. Todd is just awful; 9:05 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I liked the Durst who didn't have a scholarship far better than the guy who has one.; 9:05 PM
Dear Leader said...: mccaleb = FAH = Fast as Hell; 9:06 PM
Jet said...: Just another ...

FAH = McCalebb ... when he was "fast as hell."

Now, he's the RB Formerly Known as FAH.; 9:06 PM
Scott Coats said...: If FAH were Fanin (and not McCalebb) it would stand for Fumbles After Hits.; 9:06 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: ok, write it down:

Durst is the Bernie Madoff of our team. He got a scholarship and now he couldnt punt it out of a Cub Scout tent, he has been terrible. Great investment by his parents though.; 9:07 PM
Dear Leader said...: todd threw it away..

if they have that much coverage down feild the QB draw should work every play..

We are 3 scores down. we do not have time to give LSU the ball; 9:07 PM
Dear Leader said...: again why did we punt>>; 9:08 PM
Unknown said...: flood gates open; 9:08 PM

Just saying...; 9:09 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: even bramblett says the game is over on the radio! Way to keep the fan base on a positive note; 9:10 PM
WarEagleRK said...: I'll check everyone a little later, I'm going to go hang with the wife.; 9:10 PM

Loganville Tiger said...: Your never as good as you hope or as bad as you think...... We are a 7 - 5 team at best.; 9:11 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Freep- 2003 team was much better.; 9:11 PM
missinit said...: Seeing that last Ali add reminds me of the time Cassius Clay came to Auburn in the early 70's and spoke through the Symposium or at least that's what I think it was called. He was AWFUL. Ted Kennedy came that year too.... he was just as AWFUL!!!

Kinda like tonight......awful!; 9:11 PM
Jay G. Tate said...: I wouldn't blame you if you turned out now.

Thanks for spending a large portion of your night here at the HABOTN. I'll turn out the lights in a bit.; 9:11 PM
Jet said...: OK, this is silly.; 9:11 PM
Scott Coats said...: That play has never worked for us...ever.; 9:12 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: tate needs 100 yds to beat ingram thats all i care about now, todd can go work in the coal mines for all i care...; 9:12 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: OMG....Todd is still in
Glad I wasn't on the GUS BUS; 9:12 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Dude. Gus stinks. Apparently a base defense is all you need to do to beat him. Pathetic game by him and every coach. They deserve much blame.; 9:12 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: What's even more embarrasing is our players holding up the 4 fingers when they've packed it in.; 9:13 PM
stupup74 said...: I'm not saying they should start next week, but let some of the young guys play.; 9:13 PM
War Eagle Girl said...: Thanks Jay for the positive influence...again; 9:13 PM
ADP said...: That was perhaps the most dumbass play call I've seen Malzahn make so far. Just completely effin stupid. And what did that lead to? TD LSU!!!

Our coaches are the ones who are sucking. They should be embarrassed. They should be ashamed. For the third week in a row we are COMPLETELY NOT READY to play football. Boo Chizick. Boo Malzahn. Boo Roof. Boo Taylor. Boo Luper. Boo every coach and misc. staff. I'm absolutely appalled at how poorly coached we seem right now. Disgusting.; 9:14 PM
Dear Leader said...: I do not get our o line... they are 3 year starters and should be crushing people...; 9:15 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Steve can take his "True Auburn Man" routine and shove it. If I hear it again, i'll blow a gasket.; 9:15 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Please tell me why Todd is still playing. A reward for fine play? Is it for next year? We're proving some point (beyond that we suck)? Why??; 9:15 PM
Fearless Freep said...: I disagree about the anti-Malzahn sentiment.

It's obvious that when we have the players we can score a ton of points.

Todd's effectiveness disappeared after the first 4 games or so, just like last season. McCalebb losing a step hurt some more.

Better days are ahead, just probably not in a year ending in '9'.; 9:16 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Phred- Well said. We are not a good team, but we shouldn't be this bad.; 9:16 PM
Dear Leader said...: Sadly, I predicted we would win or lose big...

I was 50% right... the 50% I did not want.; 9:16 PM
Jet said...: Eddie ...

The 4 Fingers is ridiculous. Once it was 24-0, it was obvious even to me that it was time to let Caudle get some snaps. There is nothing to be gained by Todd playing the rest of the night. Unless the goal is to get him a season ending injury. I'd rather lose 52-3 then expose the starters any further.; 9:16 PM
patdyeswildturkey said...: thank you eddie for feeling my pain..im delirous we have a 4th qtr...cant believe we have one qter left...feel like wilt chamberlin is gonna give me a months worth of proctology exams; 9:16 PM
Scott Coats said...: Isn't it time to look to the future and let Caudle or Trotter or someone get some meaningful PT?; 9:17 PM
Loganville Tiger said...: A Little Over The Top Don't You Think Eddie?; 9:17 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Freep- Is it not Malzahn's job to put players out there that have a chance to perform. Todd sucks and he keeps putting him out there. Caudle may not be great, but can he really be worse than the 10 points we have put up on the board the last 7 quarters. Malzahn is sucking it up big time right now and Nutt is laughing his ass off.; 9:18 PM
Unknown said...: after the ARK loss, i thought we would "get it together" at night in JHS. we then come out and stink it up big time. and tonight, I am seeing what I did last year... no passion and no fire. it is contagious also, especially on offense. one guy stops trying, then another, and then another. the defense seems to be trying a bit more; 9:18 PM
Fearless Freep said...: This is the exact same staff who brought the team back from a 14-point early deficit against a good West Virginia team, and took a squad loaded with inexperience on the road and beat UT in Neyland.

They didn't just go stupid over the past 3 weeks. They've just run out of the gris-gris they used for the first 5.; 9:18 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: Loganville- Definietly, but so is Steve. Just trying to match him.; 9:19 PM
Dear Leader said...: We have a great running game .. right up to the poit we tryu to get cute.....; 9:19 PM
