We need to be careful. Furman could come back and get it within 5 touchdowns.
Nice to see Mackenzie with a tackle.
Why would you catch that?
Incredible.
PPL muffs a punt, Furman recovers at the 6.
Or try to I guess is what I should have said.
inexcusable
And Steve Spurrier's November nightmares continue.
WOW!! That is plain bad by PPL
ridiculous
What's French for "D'OH!!!"
WOW!! CUT HIS ARSE
oh well...tough break for the D, they had played very well all day... that TD wasn't their fault, but it still shows up as a blemish.
OK, that one's on Frenchie, not the defense.
Nice to see a fellow Prattvudlian get the TD, though.
DOGHOUSE
Okay, I volunteer to return punts for Auburn. With my 40/40 time, I won't get many yards, but I can catch.
Do we see PPL back there again or even today? Or is he done?
Discuss..
West Virginny beats the U of L, 17-9.
An earthquake has hit Tibet. Any of you with family in Tibet might want to call them.
NOW its Caudle Time!!!!!
Oh boy.
Eric Smith fumble. Lost.
We have to stick with PPL. He is the experienced guy, no matter how bad of an experience it has been.
GETTING MAD im probably just gonna go watch the LSU/BAMA game and not worry about this game we have already won
Well, the first half was pretty darn good.
Gabe! It sounded like a great play
Can we make a gentleman's agreement with UGA to take the ball at the 10 on every possession and just leave special teams out of the game?
What the what????
TD NAVY!!
USNA 14
ND 0
Our 2nd team defense is, uhh, not good.
Time to go to the grocery store while the Bammers are watching their game.
War Eagle!
PPL at corner.
That's one reason why the 2nd-team D stinks.
But before anyone gets too upset by recent developments, may I remind you at the same point in our 2008 Homecoming game against UT-Martin, the score was tied 20-20, and we had managed only one offensive TD and had around 200 yards of total offense.
Click here if you want to relive the experience.
DISCLAIMER: It's not pretty.
Dang, did that flashback kill a GAME THREAD?
Sorry, Rocky, don't know my own strength. . .
TD ERIC SMITH!
Good running on that drive. Makes up for the fumble.
Caudle looked sharp as well.
I don't think ANY of us want to remember that UT martin debacle that wasn't Freep.
Benton getting some touches is nice.
PPL is really playing corner? Is that an experiment or is there just nobody else to sub in?
It's interesting hearing a lot of Freshman and Sophomore players being announced. And that's a good thing
Good to see Benton make some plays today.
Lutzenkirchen! HAWT!
Sorry about that.
Despite the two turnovers, this has been a VERY encouraging game overall.
Winter has arrived!
I concur.
Peter: I'll get an answer for that after the game.
BRANTLEY, ALABAMA, HELLO!
Country boy Gulley got a TD
Roster is officially up on my computer so I can figure out who these people are.
thanks JGT
OK, refresh my memory (this time in a good way) - when's the last time we looked this good against a team we were expected to handle easily?
My vote would be Ball State, 2005.
This second-team defense is not very good.
Obviously this game is going to end much closer, but we don't have nearly the talent we had back then.
Hated to let them get that TD, but their first string offense is better than our defensive scrubs, so they deserved it.
I guess this is why they are on the 2nd and 3rd teams, right?
That, and the fact that they're all we have left, yes.
Be nice to stick it in the enszone once more. Don't think we've broken the sixty mark since that BSU game 4 years ago.
Nice run buy Gulley
by not buy
Yeah, like that.
COUNTRY!
Some nice blocks on the TD run!!
Three important keys to improving our defense:
Recruiting.
Recruiting.
Recruiting.
Gulley appears to be somewhat speedy.
Gulley is now averaging 15.4 yards on 5 carries.
Just took a look the last time we scored over 60 was that 05 Ball State game. Although the final then was 63-3. I guess our backups were a little more talented then. And just for hoping the last time they scored over 70 was 03 against La Mo
AU offense thus far: 68 snaps for 653 net yards (38-280 rushing, 27-30-373 passing), 9 TDs (5 rushing, 4 passing).
Dang.
Wow since 2001 most points.
That's not correct, it was 2005.
So noted.
Side note, Navy 14 ND 0 at the half.
C'mon, clock, run out before they score!
Announcers were wrong about that Ball State game, but they're making up for it by showing DaVille some love.
Jay G appears to be one of like 74 people still in JHS.
Wow, didn't realize that none of our 9 TD drives started on their side of the field. Six of them 60 yards or more.
wow.... backups i know...but 30?? we're very very thin!
Dammit.
That sucketh.
That's what happens when you put walkons in one-on-one coverage.
Now that's how your suppose to win those give-me games.
31 points is WAY too much to give up to Furman. FURMAN!!!!!!!
GEAUX Tigahs!!!!!!
i know, i know...walk-ons, depth, etc....
i do like the 63 points, though. very nice. most since 2001.
LSU 7 - UAT 0
in honor of THT....
Sullivan....
Well 2 turnovers did help them out in their scoring drive.
to....
Beasley!
7 wins. I picked 5 at the beginning of the year.
Just a little short bud
Once our defensive starters leave the field, they are more talented than we are.
Sad, but true.
i know, i choked. oh, well.
Oops, sorry to miss up your Beasley Scottie.
Wellll crap, a score with 22 seconds left. Oh well - it was a game that was never in doubt. The first team got to rest. The other guys got to play. EVERYTHING that I was hoping to have happen this time. War Eagle!! Yay us! lets kill some dawgs!

On the bright side, midway through the 4th we were outgaining them roughly 500-120. Those last two TD drives (which accounted for 140 of their 266 yards) came against a defense almost exclusively composed of non-scholarship scout teamers.
OK, JGT, good work today - now get finished and get home early. You've earned it!
Why isn't AL running the ball?
100
Of course, McElroy will have his best game against us.
Can we borrow Chris Todd for the 2nd half?
Only if you give us some of your defense
FSJ, your gray shirt LBs would be starting at AU.
Why aren't they running Ingram and Richardson more?
I would imagine this will be the last year for that AL OC.
Michigan is looking like they won't make a bowl for the 2nd straight year. How the mighty have fallen.
There are a LOT of bad teams out there this year, not just Michigan.
Neither the Big12 nor the Big10+1 will end up with more than 5 bowl eligible teams from the looks of it.
It now appears that the Big12 CG will feature Texas and Kansas State. One will likely be undefeated and ranked no lower than #3, and the other will have at least 4 losses, including one to a Sunbelt team (on the road, no less) and another by 52 points.
Yes...Kathy...
Run the blankety blank ball.
Ingram's touched the ball 7 times in the first half..
Not enough...Not near enough.
Your right Freep, but those programs aren't the winningest program in NCAA history.
True, Wake, most of them aren't - but Nebraska is, and they are also sucking wind again this year.
Very True Freep. I am surprised Pelini hasn't been able to make some progress there.
I mean, Nebraska is one of the winningest, not the winningest. But your point is well taken.
As funny as it was when he turned 'em down, I sure wish Coach fRod had taken the Bama job when he did.
Faker, looks like they took your advice re: Ingram.
BTW, did anyone hear Danielson refer to the LSU QB as "George Jefferson"?
Lookout, Weezy!
Prediction: Bama will not trail again in this game.
Yep unfortunately I think Bama will win this one.
Just looking at the Conference standings: AU is only the 15th team from a BCS league to reach 7 wins this season.
How are UNC fans going to feel about Butch if he loses to Duke?
Maybe Bama will pull and Auburn and let the backup beat them.
Re: Duke - Cutcliffe is doing a helluva job there.
Hey, did we have any injuries to speak of today? I know Stallworth went out with a bad knee, and I thought someone said McCain left the game at one point - any updates?
Wow. Perfect punt.
I keep accidentally pulling against LSU... it is just natural.
OK, so my prediction was wrong.
I'm not terribly unhappy.
OK, next prediction: Bama takes advantage of Miles going for 2 and wins on a last minute FG.
I also thought Oregon was the best one loss team in the country... It looks like I was wrong.
Yeah, that Julio is something special.
2 TDs in 8 games special.
Looks like a pick to me
Anyone notice the ironic irony that Bama could loose thier shot at a 13th national title by not being able to count to 12?
That was an interception.
How many LSU players are out?
a bunch, Kathy
That call was just flat wrong. Is there any doubt at all that SEC is trying to get undefeated teams in the SECCG? No, none at all.
bama DL grabbing the facemask, no call, as usual
GA Tech beats Wake in OT, 30-27.
it sure does seem like UA is getting multiple "favorable" calls and noncalls. especially in this 4th quarter. You have to wonder if things behind the scenes are being put into place so the SEC has the dream matchup if 2 undefeateds in the SEC CG...
Ballgame, Bama.
I hate cheaters. And since UA-T is the biggest cheater, I hate them the most.
sorry to make a double post with you, THT; i was just thinking the same thing while you posted that
I think the better team won. LSU played pretty well, but you can't lose that many starters against a team like the Tide and expect to pull off the upset.
That replay official is going to face hell this week.
Ingram for Heisman? I think you can make a pretty good case.
You can bet the SEC wants #1 and #2 in the championship. And I've never seen so many injured players during a game. I thought that just happened to Auburn.
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Ingram's a stud.
I am so FREAKIN' tired of these games being decided by the officials!!!!
I do not like the University of Alabama football team.
Definitely Freep. LSU had too many obstacles to overcome.
Bama's OC and QB must not like Jones or Ingram.
I doubt another sophomore wins the Heisman. That honor was reserved for Tebow. If Texas continues to win, it will probably be McCoy.
alright... i'm on vacation in jamaica... why did furman score 31 points?
FSJ -- I can't argue with you on that point at all. But I still hate UA-T ;-)
Congrats, btw.
eh...the officials didn't decide that game.
Les Miles going for two did.
Bama's OC tried to give that game away, but LSU was losing players too fast. Once their QB was injured, that was all they wrote.
they may not have decided the game, FSJ, but they played a HUGE role in preventing LSU and UA-T from deciding it.
That interception would definitely had change the momentum of the game and LSU would still have had a chance. But without their QB, I doubt they would have moved the ball. I just hate that the officials have that much power.
I don't care if they had intercepted it....
They weren't going to score.
Hi Ron,
AU played 2nd/3rd teamers the entire 2nd half when FU scored 28 of their points. AU has no depth.
Do you think Les Miles risks a fine this week?
Although I do agree regarding our OC..
If he had run Ingram in the first half we would have won by 17
Ron,
We fumbled a punt on the 6 which led to one of their TDs. We also fumbled again, so 14 points off turnovers. We were playing people I've never heard of.
They did intercept it FSJ. And without Jefferson, you're probably right about the outcome. But we'll never know since the officials, EVEN WITH REPLAY, blew the call.
I would have to think the next coach who complains about the refs isn't gonna just be fined, he'll be suspended.
You know, Notre Dame's 3rd loss of the season to Navy really could hurt their national championship hopes. As all know, I believe in Senator Holtz and trust what he tells me to be fact, but with 3 losses, it is really hard to see it happening.
Agreed kristina.
For LSU's sake, let's hope it's Les.
cool.... just got a little caught up... the score doesn't sound that bad anymore with PPL playing corner
i did catch the end of the bama Jarrett Lee and Les Miles lost that game not the officials interception or not
Ron Mexico sighting
indeed... i am logged from Ocho Rios, Jamaica as well that should do some interesting things to Jay's global login map
Meaheeco.......I am jealous!
War Eagle Hotties!!
It may be as good as we get but I for one had no idea we would win 7 games after last year's fiasco with what we were left with.
With that being said....this year is all about next year...War Eagle!
Btw...
Congrats on your win..
I think y'all win one of the next two.... Be sure and get it next week!
:-P
UAT is the luckiest team and always seems to get a break. Just sayin'.
LSU did get jobbed on the int call, but I felt like before that, they said, "This far, but not further" at 15-13. They just stopped playing it seemed.
Well, I finally sawe the final score of AU's game (after my 4th quarterr grocery store trip). We gave up 266 yards, but 31 points. That does not compute. Add in the 2 turnovers, and there it is.
The bad thing is that CBS will be hyping the Florida-Bama game for the next three weeks and pretend the rest of the SEC doesn't exist.
It'd be fun, though, to beat Bama on Nov. 27 and really pi$$ off the Eye network.
Great job by the first team today. 2nd half backup play leaves a lot to be desired but it was a good day for us. Got everything we needed to get accomplished in the first half and then we rested the starters.
It's officially Grorgia week and I HATE THE BULLDOGS!!!!!!!!
The int call was one that no matter what the officials ruled it would be upheld because there was nothing definitive either way, IMO.
We got jobbed in the first quarter when the replay booth was out...
Only score you need to pay attention to is 42-3 in the first half. I can probably count on my hand the number of players that played in the second half that will play against UGA next week.
BTW, any early reviews on Washington at safety?
Looked pretty definitive to me, FSJ, but I agree, don't think it makes a difference. LSU looked beat before that. They did have General Lee at QB after all.
You're right bro. It's Georgia week. It's Amen Corner. Now the real fun begins.
ESPN360 has the AU/Furman replay available
BTW- e-bro and myself will be hosting the next edition of Auburn Football Insiders Podcast on our new night tommorrow at 6 PM CST. I'll link it tomorrow, but join us if you can.
WAR EAGLE, Senor Ron! And welcome back!
Here's all you need to know about the last 2 TDs the AU defense gave up:
Robert Hill
A. Richardson
Ikeem Means
Derrick Lykes
Woody Parramore
Jonathon Evans
Those were the five AU players who made tackles in those last two possessions. And Furman's WR beat one-on-one coverage by Chris Humphries on the final TD.
We emptied the benches, I'd say.
We outgained LSU 450-250. The game shouldn't have been that close.
I heard Bama won today, who did they play?
Forgot to add that LSU had nine yards in the fourth quarter from what I can tell.
FSJ, it didn't hurt that Scott and Jefferson went down.
But I hear ya, good effort by Bama. It probably won't be easy next week in Starkville.
The Godfather II is on AMC
I love the Godfather.
And AU and bourbon and hating UAT!
Pickem is a bloody mess this week. Dr. Lou told me Notre Dame would beat Navy. Go figure.
We currently have 74 players on scholarship.
According to AuburnTigers.com, the following scholarshipped players did NOT participate today: Donte Aycock, Zach Clayton, Drew Cole, Nosa Eguae, Zac Etheridge, Harris Gaston, Andre Harris, Cam Henderson, Adam Herring, Onterrio McCalebb, Mike McNeil, Clint Moseley, Spencer Pybus, Tyrick Rollison, Darrell Roseman, Aairon Savage, Ryan Shoemaker, Vance Smith, and Barrett Trotter. Assuming that I didn't miss anyone, that makes 19 players on scholly that didn't play today, leaving 54 who did.
According to the final stats, 71 different Auburn Tigers saw action today.
71-54 = 17 walkons.
I'd be surprised if Furman played that many non-scholly guys.
Didn't know Herring was hurt?
Woody Parramore is a friend of mine's son. He's a senior EE major who walked on this year after not playing for the last 3 years, and when he did play, he was a reserve at Trinity. I'd say we dug waaaaay back on the bench this week.
How does a semi high profile team not have a night game in 2 years. Makes me glad we play in the land of great tv contracts... the SEC
Not only did Woody play - he was our 2nd leading tackler, tied with Johnathon Evans with 5.
Ikeem Means led all tacklers with 6. Dee Ford and Ashton Richardson were right behind with 4.
That pretty much tells you what you need to know about the game today. That and Davis Hooper picking up some rushing yardage at the end.
Every Furman player would have had to walk on to play at Auburn.
Any news on the severity of Stallworth's ankle?
not true. Forcier is a former 5star
You sure that's not his brother, PF?
Just got back from AU. hated to give up points to Furman, but it was out of hand at the half. several players looked good though.
I have not watched any of the other state team this year. I'll prolly catch them next week if I have time.
Colt McCoy took a huge step toward the Heisman today. I think it is between him and Tebow.
I thought Stallworth went down with a knee injury?
New thread UPZ.
I can't leave this at 199
or 200
