woo! A sign of good things to come!!
Nice work!
My stomach is doing flips. I don't know why I can't help but get my hopes up!! All reason says we will not win this game. Gah I wish I was in Jordan-Hare right now.
Not an auspicious start
Oh great... what is so hard about a kickoff?
Checking in. I'm out tho war eagle!!! I believe
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Touchdown Auburn!!! Touchdown Auburn!!! Touchdown Auburn!!!
Man, we have score like a million times more points than we scored against them last season!!! Yes!!! Bring the heat!!!
TD!!!!!! AUBURN!!!! some great down the field blocks. Did I see one by Todd in the end zone?
I'm jumping up and down in my living room. Alone. I don't care - it's the IB. F'yeah!
That was a strong run. Alabama was totally off-kilter ... nobody on that side of the field at all.
Who let the dogs out!!! Who? Who? Who? Who let the dogs out!!! Who? Who? Who?
Ziemba was down there for sure.
That's exacly what we needed. plays like that are essential; i dont see much success with the inside running game
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Not a bad first posession. . .
WAR EAGLE!
HOW does bama not see that coming??? i dont care!
Trott... Come on man...
aaannnnnd a drive killer.
Sorry Trott...
Misdirection all the time.
okay lets not get too cute and kill our momentum with a mistake
They're running it all.
BUrns missed a TD with that no-pitch
I Hate the Wildcat.
gosh Kodi.
Get Burns out from under center.....
NO BURNS ON 3rd and 6
and we have our first Ziemba of the day
yay for Ziemba's penalty
Ziemba!
uh, thank god for that ziemba
That was the best false start of all time.
One yard. Can they get it?
Big play here...TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful playcalling!!!!
knock on wood
He can.
Touchdown Auburn!!! Touchdown Auburn!!! Touchdown Auburn!!! Touchdown Auburn!!! Touchdown Auburn!!! Touchdown Auburn!!!
OK.
No imposters this time!
WAR EAGLE !!!!
Way to go Ziemba!!! I knew that false start play would pay off sooner or later!!!
I'm going to auburnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!////hhg/hirhnlkfngfnbgfbgngkgfsdpspsdd
I am on cloud 9. There will be no negative comments... Ya'll hear me NO NEGATIVITY.
Let's do another onside!!! kidding. but not really. keep our defense off the field as much as possible, please.
Please don't let this be another beginning like the UGA game! Oh My... This is AUsome!
5:58 time of possession on that drive.
Longest of the year for Auburn.
good god morgan hull
You're pulling my leg. I may be okay with not giving Arenas a chance though.
Nice pursuit. Another big play...and the defense comes up! Just think if this was a 3 and out from Alabama's 25 rather than the 40.
Two bad things almost happened there...
Roughing the kicker....
Fumble.....
But neither did....
That ref was watching the punter like a hawk. No flag.
why no RTK call? lucky?
Walt knocked him silly, but I guess he was blocked into the kicker. That ref was ready to pull the flag, didn't.
awesome.
Trott was open...horrible overthrow.
did it twice
Todd's too excited.
We are just daring them to score on us.
So Alabama's had 3 possessions, all at the 40. Our defense better step up again or else this may be a repeat of Georgia.
Please don't let things start going down hill now. Please... This has been one fast start.
Todd has to miss one to let 'Bama think they have a chance.
Now is when the chess match starts. We have blown our emotional load and now have to hang for the next 3 quarters.
no more botched kickoffs please.
So you're saying Auburn blew its emotional load too early?
Not a bad first quarter.
Man, the underneath routes ALWAYS being open kills me. The WRs will have lots chances to bust big plays.
What can we say, JGT? We got too excited. . .
guilty.
i feel this tiger woods situation is being overblown.
Looks that way. Hit a fire hydrant?
Please hold them
Dang it.
We're alright still. Just need to answer with some points.
And then a tree...but was going less than 33 mph and is out of the hospital already...
Screw Tiger Woods..... Its the IRON BOWL
we need points. and good kickoffs.
These super charged emotional first quarters leave me drained. Hope it hasn't left the team that way.
I know, the attention they are devoting to it seems especially overblown given that we are in the middle of the IRON BOWL. I hate golf.
I would settle for good defense and the score stays right where it is.
true. I could live with that. just doesn't seem the way the game is gonna go...
NO Kodi under center..... PLEASE
Ziemba just looked lazy.
oh boy, did we need that.
Stupid Stupid move by Mcfadden.
CATCH A BALL!! But it looked like Bama's coverage guy hit Demond. And don't be stupid, we can't have penalties.
It was 6, who is 6?
Walt.
ahh...been missin some salsa. must have been waiting for bama to show up.
oh yeah. duh. I always get his number mixed up with Fannin. Do not ask me why.
That would've been a game changer.
I don't see any Ref bias..... Seems to me they are letting them play Salsa.
Unless it is the week of the Masters, I couldn't care less about Tiger.
This is the Iron bowl....
oy, with the penalties.
Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.
Third and long is our Achilles' heel.
And the stupid 15 yarder is gonna hurt chances to score before the half.
How long did Todd plan on holding it?
Ziemba needs to pick that up.
sigh. oh well.
Not Todd's finest hour. He saw that coming, too.
Here is our chance to seize the momentum and take it to halftime.
please please please score. please.
Darvin! Adams! I love him.
Fannin just doesn't get tackled. We need him bad
I still don't understand where the corner was on that pass to D Adams.
This is surprising for sure
Gutsy performance so far
Hope he is ok... he was clearly rocked there.
Needless to say however this ends, I was wrong with my impressions for the game
All square at halftime.
Well, i didn't think I'd be disappointed with a 14-14 tie at halftime, but with how this game has gone I feel like we're losing.
Well...I'm glad that quarter is over. Here's to returning to 1st quarter form.
Struck a fire hydrant and hit a tree... whilst pulling out of his driveway. That's a pretty big spaz moment if I've heard of one.
And I do not like Tony Barnhart.
we should at least have some kind of points on our last two possessions.
CBS guys still give us NO chance. I can't say I blame them b/c though the score is tied.... that 2nd quarter sucked. Here's hoping the third quarter turns things around!
Good game but I hope Auburn didn't just have 15 minutes of glory and will come out firing.
I agree Cotton. It feels like we are losing. I think it's b/c we were on such a high the first qtr. We've got to come out and play like we did. (and dare I mention, call plays like we did in the 1st qtr as well).
keep giving the ball to fannin
Jay how is JHS compared to other games in the past atmosphere wise?
Tons of great recruits are in attendance...
Aren't there lots of former players in town? I like Chizik's halftime abilities. This is not a TT team that fails to correct his mistakes. Then again, this could be deja vu of the UGA game. Just don't know what to expect. And maybe that's a good thing.
Good point jhag. I forget about that whole aspect. I get caught up in the here and now, but there's a lot to be gained for the future by playing well and keeping the crowd in it.
Hopefully CGM is putting together a game plan as we speak
Gotta think this has been a good showing so far for recruits. If we can play with Bama right now, imagine what we can do with YOUR help.
I'm think this may get out of hand if we dont come straight out with points on the first possession.
Need to score on this first posession
Man Cotton. I keep agreeing with you. We really need to put together a drive here and cash it in.
I do hope he had the game plan before the game.
A very good first half, although we need to find a way to make Bama pay for the pressure on the QB.
points! points! points right away!
i feel like we need at least 14 more points to have a chance. doesn't mean we have to score them on offense, but 14 nonetheless
I know he has Karlos Dansby speak to the team and I know Ronnie Brown, David Irons are in town
Here's the starting point for Bama's first-half possessions, save for the last one as the half ended:
UA 40
UA 40
UA 42
UA 35
AU 45
AU 48
Despite that, they have only 14 points against the worst defense in the SEC.
My uncle's comment this morning when I said we had a good chance of beating Bama:
"You shouldn't say things like that, it makes you look stupid"
I have never wanted to make someone eat words so bad.
we have been torched the few times we blitzed. gotta get pressure with the four down linemen.
yeah I think Kenny Irons is there too? They are all hosting a party at the KA house after the game... (they being DI, RB, KI and... one other person). I know this b/c I got a Facebook invite from KI (I used to friend all our players when I was in college- I assume he sent it to everyone on his friend list).
Ask the question now CBS who is the best back in the state?
I think Au says you may beat us but Ingram wont.
We should have someone short over the middle or in the fla and Todd should hit one when they blitz. This should be there every play.
Will the person that cares that Tiger Woods got a boo boo please turn to CNN and get these guys to stop talking about it?
Digger, I have been waiting for them to hit a slant over the middle when the blitz comes. Hopefully it is coming.
Demond, get the ball!
Why do they keep calling him "Devon" Washington? Come on.
Dang, terrible 3rd-and-short call.
i wonder if fannin is out.
That is my beef with malzahn, you need a yard and you call for a screen pass...he has done that all year. Line up in the I and see what happens
Toooouuchdoooowwwwnnnnnn Auuuuuuuuubuuurnnnnnn!!!!!
Doesn't the Noodle now hold Auburn's record for touchdown passes in a season?
was that a replay of the WVU game?
so sweet...
And Todd will guide them through the murky waters of the Alabama defense and they shall see the light of the endzone and it will be good.
And the Heisman candidate had two chances to make one yard and he failed and he was a Heisman candidate no longer.
War Eagle!!! Excellent stop defense!!!
May National Championships be forgotten and the Heisman candidate too, one more good quarter of Auburn football and this Alabama team is through.
Oh no!!! They said he had to throw. Oh no!!! Todzilla!!! Eeh!!! Eeh!!! Eeh!!!
Bama wilting under the pressure? Bama commits a Ziemba? Wow!!!
Brodie!!! Brodie!!! Brodie!!!
Just do it!!! Take it to them. Stick the fork in. Finish this thing!!!
Need some of that Malzahn Magic on this drive.
I am proud of our team! War eagle!!!!
For those of you that missed it Auburn gathered at midfield for our standard post game prayer and the lone white jersey belonged to mr Greg mcelroy...our defense did what it needed to do and made him beat us...I have never felt so good after a loss.
