OLE MISS at AUBURN, 1st half

Welcome everyone to Jordan-Hare Stadium, where the Auburn University Tigers are playing host to the University of Mississippi Rebels. The game can be seen on the SEC Network. That means it's probably on one of the local networks in your area.

Auburn has made no changes to its depth chart.

Ole Miss first possession: TOUCHDOWN. Andy Hartmann 7 pass from Jevan Snead. PAT kick good. Drive covered 94 yards in 10 plays.
Auburn first possession: FIELD GOAL. Wes Byrum 36 FG. Drive covered 41 yards in 6 plays.
Ole Miss second possession: PUNT. Auburn missed a pair of prime interception situations ... one by Neiko Thorpe, one by Joshua Bynes.
Auburn second possession: TURNOVER ON DOWNS. Auburn faced a 3rd-and-1 ... and couldn't get the single yards. I don't understand why Auburn would run from a shotgun formation on 4th-and-1. Maybe you understand.
Ole Miss third possession: MISSED FG.
Auburn third possession: PUNT. Penalty on first down, dropped pass on second down.
Ole Miss fourth possession: TURNOVER ON DOWNS. Ole Miss went for it on 4th-and-6 ... and Snead was sacked for an 11-yard loss. Oops.
Auburn fourth possession: PUNT. Not much going on there.
Ole Miss fifth possession: PUNT.
Auburn fifth possession: TOUCHDOWN. Darvin Adams 28 pass from Chris Todd. PAT kick good. Drive covered 90 yards in 6 plays.
Ole Miss sixth possession: TURNOVER ON DOWNS. The half was about to end anyway.

If Freeman can ever get in the right position to make that tackle he could be deadly.; 12:16 PM

J. Kev said...: Okay, a press box moment from J. Kev.

Finebaum came in at the end of the 1st quarter and I'm two seats down from him. He's wearing the gayest purple-tinted shades I've ever seen in my life.

Is "Liberace dork" what's chic this year?

Gross.; 12:18 PM

auforme said...: awesome job!; 12:19 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: If this offense is anything like the first 5 games, this is the time it comes together in the game. I've seen some good things on offense where I haven't seen in previous weeks. So hopefully we will wake up this drive.; 12:20 PM
WarEagleRK said...: J.Kev,

He just has to be noticed.

I guess he's at the game so that he can break the awful news he has about Auburn in person.; 12:20 PM

We got yards on it.; 12:26 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: Ok, I hated that call. It was conceding a punt IMO.; 12:26 PM

Hard to believe that wasn't that long ago.; 12:26 PM

Eddie McCoy said...: Anyone else just completely sick of seeing Kodi Burns on the field in the Wildcat??? It doesn't work. I have no idea why we continue to run the crap. Oh, and option plays that you pitch the ball with no one around you to a RB 5 yards back are a terrible decision and execution.; 12:28 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: The Bull has energized the Defense with his speed. We need someone on offense to do the same. They look ... lethargic.; 12:28 PM

WarEagleRK said...: If only we could make the catches on D.; 12:28 PM
Unknown said...: that wraparound was not so that CT wouldn't screw up; it was about field position... but after the first drive, you gotta wonder. it does seem like the D has got things together for now. if they keep dropping passes. i love our intensity today on D, but still hate/abhor our pass coverage on hitches/slants/outs.. we can cover the dep ball, but if a pass to a WR is 5-9 yds, they will be open every time.; 12:28 PM
