Northwestern has won the toss.
- Northwestern first possession: INTERCEPTION. Walt McFadden got it.
- Auburn first possession: TOUCHDOWN. Kodi Burns 1 run. Wes Byrum PAT kick is good. Drive covers 31 yards in five plays. Ben Tate broke off a 24-yard run to get the Tigers to the 1.
- AUBURN 7, NORTHWESTERN 0
- Northwestern second possession:
AUBURN TOUCHDOWN. Walt McFadden returns an interception yards for a touchdown.- AUBURN 14, NORTHWESTERN 0
- Northwestern third possession: TOUCHDOWN. Andrew Brewer 39 pass from Mike Kafka. PAT kick was good. Drive covered 67 yards in 6 plays.
- AUBURN 14, NORTHWESTERN 7
- Auburn second possession: PUNT. Three and out. Live to punt.
- Northwestern fourth possession: MISSED FG.
- Auburn third possession: TURNOVER ON DOWNS. Auburn's fourth-down pass was ruled incomplete.
- Northwestern fifth possession: PUNT. Not much going on.
- Auburn fourth possession: TOUCHDOWN. Quindarius Carr 46 pass from Todd. Byrum PAT kick good. Drive covers 79 yards in 5 plays. The touchdown was a trick play -- a pump fake on an alleged screen let Carr slide into single coverage. He just beat dude.
- AUBURN 21, NORTHWESTERN 7
- Northwestern sixth possession: PUNT. Three and out.
- Auburn fifth possession: PUNT. Auburn crossed mid-field, but couldn't dig deeper.
- Northwestern seventh possession: PUNT. A bad punt, too. High snap. A 19-yard effort.
- Auburn sixth possession: INTERCEPTION. Kodi Burns tried to hit Mario Fannin for a big gain, but a Northwestern defender made a really nice play on a lofty pass.
- Northwestern eighth possession: INTERCEPTION. T'Sharvan Bell picks a pass in the end zone. That's a reversal of fortune because Tee Bell's mistake allowed Northwestern's first touchdown.
Go Tigers
ReplyDeleteWow....First for once - with no substance
ReplyDeletePunt? What did I miss?
ReplyDeleteVery Funny JGT......
ReplyDeleteWelcome, LVT.
ReplyDeleteJust you and me JGT.....
ReplyDeleteYES!!! Go Tigers!!
ReplyDeleteI'm here, I'm here!!! Been catching up. Love the Hottie photo and the interception!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if anyone knows to change yet.
ReplyDeleteI think we need to blow the rust off - looking a little sluggish - or NW is playing over their head.
ReplyDeleteNice conversion though.
Ben Tate is going to trounce!
ReplyDeleteTOUCHDOWN!!
ReplyDeleteWho are the refs? What conference?
ReplyDeleteI think the rust is off.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle!!!!
Go Ben Tate!!!!
ReplyDeleteBen Tate scored on his run.
ReplyDeleteNIce start. Need to mash the pedal early and often. sort of like at Talledega. floor the pedal when the green flag flies and never let up.
ReplyDeleteWell I missed this thread
ReplyDeleteClose Kathy - they never showed a good angle on the replay to see where the ball was when his knee touched. but we got it in the end....
ReplyDeleteKathy, I agree that TD should have been Tate's.
ReplyDeleteWondered what happened to you WERK
ReplyDeleteTheir short passing game scares me.
ReplyDeleteHolding on that last play.
ReplyDeleteShort passing D is certainly not our strong point.
ReplyDeleteAuburn announcers are saying that Eltoro still has an injured ankle and won't play much today.
ReplyDeleteHow big is the crowd?
ReplyDeleteFYI, SuperCrip, thanks for the UA updates. I like that our recruits are hanging out together.
ReplyDeleteI liked that they lined up quickly and pushed it in even if it didn't give them time to review Tate's TD.
ReplyDeleteOK, D! Let's go!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, the short passing thing with quick passes and crossing routes kill us every time.
ReplyDeleteI guess you heard that Kathy - Big 12 crew.
ReplyDeleteAs for there needing to be a clear winner in the QB race, there will be. Malzahn will not allow it to be otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWe got to shut down these short passes.
ReplyDeleteThe stadium is about 60% full.
ReplyDeleteWell three penalties so far, so we are at mid season form in that aspect.
ReplyDeleteCome on D, step it up.
Dang gummit, Bynes!!! Now go out there and try to not do something stupid!!!
ReplyDeleteLike I said earlier, this has been a wet season.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with Eltoro?
Great tackle by Thorpe.
ReplyDeleteThorpe!!! Thorpe!!! Thorpe!!!
ReplyDeleteCome on Auburn. Defense has that adrenaline going.
ReplyDeleteGood tackle Thorpe.
ReplyDeleteEltoro has an ankle issue and sine we are playing nickel (two LB's) most of this game he won't be on the field much.
ReplyDeleteOnly 60% that's not good.
ReplyDeleteHow many are Auburn fans?
ReplyDeleteWe know Auburn sold their allotment plus. I guess the weather kept a lot of locals away.
What's up with the white shoes?
ReplyDeleteNW watched the bama game and saw that the short game and crossing routes work well....
ReplyDeleteWe sold our tickets and came back for more, so the empty seats aren't on us.
ReplyDeleteHere comes a crossing route...
ReplyDeleteIt looks Nasty there weather wise today on the TV - though rain and 65 degrees ain't bad football watching weather. Wouldn't want to be in the rain and 40 degrees like it is here at my house today.
ReplyDeleteBowls sell a lot of tickets to locals and they probably stayed home with the weather.
ReplyDeleteNW QB is 7/8 so far.
ReplyDeleteGooooood Morning Hotties and Tiger fans everywhere!
ReplyDeleteI just woke up.... I didn't think I'd need to set an alarm because my dog always wakes up no later than 7 wanting to go out... well, I woke up at 10 after 10 and the little bugger is still asleep.
How are we looking so far?
8/9
ReplyDeleteMan..... NW does Dink and Dunk don't they?
ReplyDelete9/10
ReplyDeleteThankful for that one incompletion.
Underneath passes are killing us Miller.
ReplyDeleteCome on D, tighten up.
ReplyDeleteI guess their gameplan is to throw... and throw... D needs to dial up some pressure.
ReplyDeleteNice call NW.....
ReplyDeleteIt seems like an hour since our offense has been on the field...if our D is out there all day, that's not good.
ReplyDeleteCome on D!
ReplyDeleteGotta get more pressure.
ReplyDeleteUnderneath passes and QB runs are supposedly the basis of Northwestern's offense.
ReplyDeleteShort passes are killing us. Looks like Tate may have a huge game.
ReplyDeleteWow, 17th play of this drive coming up.
ReplyDeleteShort passing game will negate pressure
ReplyDeleteI'm having a hard time typing with this fast pace!
ReplyDeleteYES!!!
ReplyDeleteYowzah!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW
ReplyDeleteWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you like travel into the future to know McFadden was going to have a big game?
ReplyDeleteGood Guy Award Karma!
ReplyDeleteWOW! What an interception!!! We'll take a celebration penalty anytime after a pick 6!
ReplyDeleteWALT! WALT! WALT!
ReplyDeleteWoW...that may be an AU INT return record!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHOLY .....HOLY... CRAP!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat was the unsportsmanlike flag for?
ReplyDeleteWhat a "Good Guy"!
ReplyDeleteMcFadden, any time you return an INT over a 100 yards, you were welcome to celebrate however you see fit!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a big turn around and has to be deflating.
ReplyDeleteWhat a play.
ReplyDeleteThat 15 yard pent. will hurt us against this team...
ReplyDeleteNow he has to go back out on D!!! I think he needs a rest!
ReplyDeleteGREAT play by McFadden!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like our Defense will be on the field a little longer WERK..... But I take that as a Good Thing
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately our D has to come back on the field...they were just on the field for a 17 play drive.
ReplyDeleteI'll take the penalty, he should celebrate that one.
ReplyDeleteI also the the celebration rules are screwy.
Screw you announcer!!! You return an INT 100 yards, celebrate how you like!!!
ReplyDeleteA 3 and out would be very helpful right here.
ReplyDelete3 kickoffs and great coverage onall of them so far.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't like it was a crazy celebration.
ReplyDelete33 yd line not too bad.
ReplyDeleteExactly Steve.
ReplyDeleteSadly we've been up 14-0 in the 1st quarter before...we need to close.
ReplyDeleteI hope we beat the crap out of them. Don't know if anyone saw my post yesterday, but I heard that the NW players were talking crap at the team breakfast yesterday and got up and walked out.
ReplyDeleteThey can't run.
ReplyDeleteWALTER!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat HABOTN.COM sign if you will is pretty cool, it should bring a lot more visitors as well
If he had taunted the other team or did a throat slash or something, I would have a problem with it. He just celebrated. It is a stupid rule and I have no problem with what he did.
ReplyDeleteI'll pay the 15 for that one.
ReplyDeleteDid they really do that CH=B? If so, I hope we beat the crap out of them too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we should take a time out on D right now.
ReplyDeleteI really like the white shoes.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else want to see out offense?
ReplyDeleteThat was pathetic.
ReplyDeleteWe needed to take a timeout and get the D some rest.
WTH
ReplyDeleteOoops!
ReplyDeleteBut now the D can rest.
Blown coverage on that one.
ReplyDeleteD has to be gassed
ReplyDeleteWho left him ride open?
ReplyDeleteWe need a 14+ play drive to give the D some rest here.
ReplyDeletemkay
ReplyDeleteOur offense needs to have a good long drive now to keep the D off the field. (seems I have typed that about 100 times this year)
ReplyDeleteT'sharvin Bell was the DB on that one.
ReplyDeleteRide - wide open! I'm starting to sound like DL!
ReplyDeleteWhile they are interviewing Tim, we miss that play. Come on guys. D is gassed. They need a breather. We need a long sustained drive.
ReplyDeleteSo is he now SAH?
ReplyDeleteCan't stop running son!
ReplyDeleteKodi missed his block. Oops!
ReplyDeleteIf it's 3rd down, it's going to Darvin.
ReplyDeleteall passes?
ReplyDeleteHopefully we aren't about to blow a 14-0 lead...sounds familiar.
ReplyDelete3 plays, less than a min off the clock.
ReplyDeleteuhg...
ReplyDeletethis is what worries me....
NW is attempting to keep the d on the field...
Are you kidding me? 3 and out.
ReplyDeleteOn the reverse, if Tate keeps it, he's one on one with a corner whose 10 yards downfield.
ReplyDeleteWe've ran 9 plays vs 25 for NW
ReplyDelete=0)
ReplyDeleteRK ...
ReplyDeleteHush.
Here we go, giving up a 14-0 lead. I know the offense is rusty, but we should be able to run the ball.
ReplyDeleteUgh...
ReplyDeleteFirst quarter is a memory.
ReplyDeleteThere're doing to us what we like to do to defeneses.
ReplyDeleteWe need our 3rd turnover of the game.
ReplyDeleteThey are picking our backfield apart.
ReplyDeleteAre these announcers bias?
ReplyDeleteOnly 3 quarter of Auburn football remain - lets make it 3 good ones.
ReplyDeleteThe reverse was painfully obvious with the personnel.
ReplyDeleteNorthwestern is better team right now. We have to get our defense off the field soon.
ReplyDeleteWe've had a 14-0 lead 3 other times this season and have a 1-2 record in those games...
ReplyDeleteWe've got to pick it up and put this game out of reach.
Their QB is good, he's picking us apart!
Does this offense know more than 15 plays?
ReplyDeleteSheesh
While I like Gus' offense, I do think he needs to work on his play calling at times.
ReplyDeleteThere have been many times where our D needs a rest and we've come out and thrown the ball.
We've got to get pressure on the QB. He's too accurate to let him just stand around and look for receivers.
ReplyDeleteHolly crap guys relax. 1st quarter of football in a while. Give it time.
ReplyDeleteI understand the long layoff creates some rust, but NW has blown their's off. AU hasn't had the opportunity. Our O needs to get back out on the field.
ReplyDeleteWe need a turnover...again.
ReplyDeleteShort passes alleviates the opportunity for pressure.
ReplyDeleteExcept for Jevon Snead, we've made almost every QB we play look great.
ReplyDeletewe cannot afford NOT to score on this team
ReplyDeleteUh oh, AC.
ReplyDeleteCHB,
ReplyDeleteIt's all about momentum. We have gotten it early in games a lot this year, but struggle to keep it due to the thin D.
This announcer is an idiot. Isn't Carter a bit of a HOT pass rusher?
ReplyDeleteBig play here.
ReplyDeleteI would rather see them throw the deep pass like that, than those short ones.
ReplyDeleteRk, I understand but it is still early.
ReplyDeleteWe needed that.
ReplyDeleteThere we go...
ReplyDeleteFinally. Will they go for it.
ReplyDeleteJay, please walk up to the broadcast booth and tell the ESPN guys to please shut their mouths about Mike "WTF" Leach.
ReplyDeleteAlright offense, keep the D off the field for awhile.
ReplyDeleteWay to go, D.
ReplyDeleteBall control is a not a bad thing, Gus.
Time to feed Tate the rock.
ReplyDeletePerfectly played...see no worries!
ReplyDeleteAU needs to run Ben Tate here...
ReplyDeleteI'd like to make a request for more Ben Tate. Think we could get that down to the field?
ReplyDeleteWe really needed that stop.
ReplyDeleteNow if the offense can get on track, we need to wear their defense down some.
Bunch of big ten announcers....going to be a long day for the tv audience.
ReplyDeleteWe don't need trickery. Just run the ball until they stop us.
ReplyDeleteIt's time to man up and run the ball.
ReplyDeleteThat McFadden INT was the longest INT for a touchdown in Outback history. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteAt times I wonder if these announcers know there's a game going on. They're all about chit chat, other bowls and who's making a movie.
ReplyDeleteMan, he tripped over the 40 yard line. Good play, though.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else think that this whole Leach thing has been blown out of proportion by a spoiled kid and his father with a overblown sense of self-importance?
ReplyDeleteChiz looks intense on the sideline.
ReplyDeleteVery good play Todzilla!!! Way to break out the mobility!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy was TZ standing over there when Todd got in trouble. Move.
ReplyDeletePooch kick
ReplyDeleteThat is a catch!
ReplyDeleteDidn't look like a catch
ReplyDeleteThat's a catch!!!!
ReplyDeletegreat catch!!!!
ReplyDeleteCatch?
ReplyDeleteTodd throwing too low a couple of times today...but that was a catch.
ReplyDeleteHowever, you can't go to Adams every time on 3rd and 4th down.
That's a catch...about the only thing the announcers have gotten right.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they'll overrule it. Not clear enough.
ReplyDeleteThat was a catch.
ReplyDeleteActually, It looked like it may have slipped through his arms and hit the ground.
ReplyDeleteBut it was a catch.
ReplyDeleteBut they ruled incomplete and now they have to have inconclusive evidence. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteI'll be shocked if they overrule that call, but they aren't SEC officials!
ReplyDeletePrediction - CATCH - 1st & 10 AU
ReplyDeleteThey ruled it incomplete.
ReplyDeleteCatch, overturned, first down
ReplyDeleteThe ref on the radio broadcast already called it incomplete.
ReplyDeleteDMiller- agree about Leach based on what has come to light, but isn't it obvious that Tech was looking for a reason to fire Leach and not pay him.
ReplyDeleteLet's flip this bad boy.
ReplyDeleteIt looks to be ruled incomplete to me. It was close, but I think the front end of the ball hit the ground. There isn't really a conclusive shot, so they won't overrule it, unless there is a shot I haven't seen.
ReplyDeleteNow our D is back on the field.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry Steve, it's hard to trust in Todd when a clutch throw like that is made that low.
new page?
ReplyDeleteholy crap... what a crap call
ReplyDelete
