Auburn vs. Northwestern

Hey everyone. We are watching Auburn's game against Northwestern in the Outback Bowl this afternoon. Please join in.

The game can be seen on ESPN.

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.
Northwestern second possession:
AUBURN TOUCHDOWN. Walt McFadden returns an interception yards for a touchdown.
Northwestern third possession: TOUCHDOWN. Andrew Brewer 39 pass from Mike Kafka. PAT kick was good. Drive covered 67 yards in 6 plays.
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.
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.

WarEagleRK said...: Holding on that last play.; 10:13 AM

Jet said...: OK, D! Let's go!; 10:15 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Seriously, the short passing thing with quick passes and crossing routes kill us every time.; 10:15 AM
Loganville Tiger said...: I guess you heard that Kathy - Big 12 crew.; 10:15 AM

Kathy said...: We got to shut down these short passes.; 10:16 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: The stadium is about 60% full.; 10:16 AM

bill buck said...: What's up with the white shoes?; 10:19 AM

Loganville Tiger said...: Underneath passes are killing us Miller.; 10:23 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Come on D, tighten up.; 10:23 AM
Miller said...: I guess their gameplan is to throw... and throw... D needs to dial up some pressure.; 10:24 AM
Loganville Tiger said...: Nice call NW.....; 10:24 AM
WarEagleRK said...: It seems like an hour since our offense has been on the field...if our D is out there all day, that's not good.; 10:24 AM
auforme said...: Come on D!; 10:24 AM
Jet said...: Gotta get more pressure.; 10:25 AM
Unknown said...: Underneath passes and QB runs are supposedly the basis of Northwestern's offense.; 10:25 AM
auforme said...: Short passes are killing us. Looks like Tate may have a huge game.; 10:25 AM

Kathy said...: Now he has to go back out on D!!! I think he needs a rest!; 10:28 AM
Miller said...: GREAT play by McFadden!!; 10:28 AM
Loganville Tiger said...: Looks like our Defense will be on the field a little longer WERK..... But I take that as a Good Thing; 10:29 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Unfortunately our D has to come back on the field...they were just on the field for a 17 play drive.; 10:29 AM
Unknown said...: I'll take the penalty, he should celebrate that one.

I also the the celebration rules are screwy.; 10:29 AM
Unknown said...: Screw you announcer!!! You return an INT 100 yards, celebrate how you like!!!; 10:30 AM
WarEagleRK said...: A 3 and out would be very helpful right here.; 10:31 AM
wtc said...: 3 kickoffs and great coverage onall of them so far.; 10:31 AM
WarEagleRK said...: It wasn't like it was a crazy celebration.; 10:31 AM
Unknown said...: 33 yd line not too bad.; 10:32 AM
Kathy said...: Exactly Steve.; 10:32 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Sadly we've been up 14-0 in the 1st quarter before...we need to close.; 10:32 AM
CHB said...: I 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.; 10:32 AM
Kathy said...: They can't run.; 10:32 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: WALTER!!!!

That HABOTN.COM sign if you will is pretty cool, it should bring a lot more visitors as well; 10:32 AM
Unknown said...: 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.; 10:32 AM
Jet said...: I'll pay the 15 for that one.; 10:33 AM
Kathy said...: Did they really do that CH=B? If so, I hope we beat the crap out of them too.; 10:33 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Maybe we should take a time out on D right now.; 10:33 AM
astatguy said...: I really like the white shoes.; 10:34 AM
CHB said...: Anyone else want to see out offense?; 10:34 AM
WarEagleRK said...: That was pathetic.

We needed to take a timeout and get the D some rest.; 10:34 AM
CHB said...: WTH; 10:34 AM
Anonymous said...: Ooops!

But now the D can rest.; 10:34 AM
Loganville Tiger said...: Blown coverage on that one.; 10:34 AM
astatguy said...: D has to be gassed; 10:35 AM
Kathy said...: Who left him ride open?; 10:35 AM
Loganville Tiger said...: We need a 14+ play drive to give the D some rest here.; 10:35 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: mkay; 10:36 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Our 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); 10:36 AM
WarEagleRK said...: T'sharvin Bell was the DB on that one.; 10:36 AM
Kathy said...: Ride - wide open! I'm starting to sound like DL!; 10:36 AM
Kathy said...: While they are interviewing Tim, we miss that play. Come on guys. D is gassed. They need a breather. We need a long sustained drive.; 10:37 AM
WarEagleRK said...: So is he now SAH?; 10:38 AM
Anonymous said...: Can't stop running son!; 10:38 AM
auforme said...: Kodi missed his block. Oops!; 10:38 AM
Jet said...: If it's 3rd down, it's going to Darvin.; 10:39 AM
Miller said...: all passes?; 10:39 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Hopefully we aren't about to blow a 14-0 lead...sounds familiar.; 10:39 AM
WarEagleRK said...: 3 plays, less than a min off the clock.; 10:39 AM
Dear Leader said...: uhg...

this is what worries me....

NW is attempting to keep the d on the field...; 10:39 AM
Kathy said...: Are you kidding me? 3 and out.; 10:39 AM
Jet said...: On the reverse, if Tate keeps it, he's one on one with a corner whose 10 yards downfield.; 10:39 AM
WarEagleRK said...: We've ran 9 plays vs 25 for NW; 10:40 AM
Dear Leader said...: =0); 10:40 AM
Jet said...: RK ...

Hush.; 10:40 AM
Kathy said...: Here we go, giving up a 14-0 lead. I know the offense is rusty, but we should be able to run the ball.; 10:40 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Ugh...; 10:40 AM
Jay G. Tate said...: First quarter is a memory.; 10:41 AM
astatguy said...: There're doing to us what we like to do to defeneses.; 10:41 AM
WarEagleRK said...: We need our 3rd turnover of the game.; 10:41 AM
Kathy said...: They are picking our backfield apart.; 10:41 AM
Kathy said...: Are these announcers bias?; 10:41 AM
Loganville Tiger said...: Only 3 quarter of Auburn football remain - lets make it 3 good ones.; 10:41 AM
Jet said...: The reverse was painfully obvious with the personnel.; 10:42 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Northwestern is better team right now. We have to get our defense off the field soon.; 10:42 AM
Miller said...: We've had a 14-0 lead 3 other times this season and have a 1-2 record in those games...

We've got to pick it up and put this game out of reach.

Their QB is good, he's picking us apart!; 10:42 AM
Anonymous said...: Does this offense know more than 15 plays?

Sheesh; 10:43 AM
WarEagleRK said...: While I like Gus' offense, I do think he needs to work on his play calling at times.

There have been many times where our D needs a rest and we've come out and thrown the ball.; 10:43 AM
astatguy said...: We've got to get pressure on the QB. He's too accurate to let him just stand around and look for receivers.; 10:44 AM
CHB said...: Holly crap guys relax. 1st quarter of football in a while. Give it time.; 10:44 AM
Kathy said...: I 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.; 10:44 AM
WarEagleRK said...: We need a turnover...again.; 10:44 AM
Kathy said...: Short passes alleviates the opportunity for pressure.; 10:45 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Except for Jevon Snead, we've made almost every QB we play look great.; 10:45 AM
Dear Leader said...: we cannot afford NOT to score on this team; 10:45 AM
Kathy said...: Uh oh, AC.; 10:46 AM
WarEagleRK said...: CHB,

It'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.; 10:46 AM
Unknown said...: This announcer is an idiot. Isn't Carter a bit of a HOT pass rusher?; 10:47 AM
Jet said...: Big play here.; 10:47 AM
WarEagleRK said...: I would rather see them throw the deep pass like that, than those short ones.; 10:48 AM
CHB said...: Rk, I understand but it is still early.; 10:48 AM
WarEagleRK said...: We needed that.; 10:48 AM
Anonymous said...: There we go...; 10:48 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Finally. Will they go for it.; 10:48 AM
Unknown said...: Jay, please walk up to the broadcast booth and tell the ESPN guys to please shut their mouths about Mike "WTF" Leach.; 10:49 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Alright offense, keep the D off the field for awhile.; 10:49 AM
Jet said...: Way to go, D.

Ball control is a not a bad thing, Gus.; 10:49 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Time to feed Tate the rock.; 10:49 AM
Anonymous said...: Perfectly played...see no worries!; 10:49 AM
Miller said...: AU needs to run Ben Tate here...; 10:49 AM
Scott Coats said...: I'd like to make a request for more Ben Tate. Think we could get that down to the field?; 10:49 AM
Unknown said...: We really needed that stop.

Now if the offense can get on track, we need to wear their defense down some.; 10:50 AM
Anonymous said...: Bunch of big ten announcers....going to be a long day for the tv audience.; 10:51 AM
Kathy said...: We don't need trickery. Just run the ball until they stop us.; 10:51 AM
astatguy said...: It's time to man up and run the ball.; 10:51 AM
Unknown said...: That McFadden INT was the longest INT for a touchdown in Outback history. Impressive.; 10:52 AM
astatguy said...: At 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.; 10:52 AM
Unknown said...: Man, he tripped over the 40 yard line. Good play, though.; 10:52 AM
Miller said...: Does 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?; 10:53 AM
Unknown said...: Chiz looks intense on the sideline.; 10:53 AM
Unknown said...: Very good play Todzilla!!! Way to break out the mobility!!!; 10:54 AM
Kathy said...: Why was TZ standing over there when Todd got in trouble. Move.; 10:54 AM
Kathy said...: Pooch kick; 10:55 AM
Miller said...: That is a catch!; 10:55 AM
Kathy said...: Didn't look like a catch; 10:55 AM
Loganville Tiger said...: That's a catch!!!!; 10:55 AM
Scott Coats said...: great catch!!!!; 10:55 AM
Kathy said...: Catch?; 10:55 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Todd throwing too low a couple of times today...but that was a catch.

However, you can't go to Adams every time on 3rd and 4th down.; 10:55 AM
CHB said...: That's a catch...about the only thing the announcers have gotten right.; 10:56 AM
Unknown said...: I don't think they'll overrule it. Not clear enough.; 10:56 AM
Kathy said...: That was a catch.; 10:56 AM
Unknown said...: Actually, It looked like it may have slipped through his arms and hit the ground.; 10:56 AM
Unknown said...: But it was a catch.; 10:56 AM
Kathy said...: But they ruled incomplete and now they have to have inconclusive evidence. Bummer.; 10:56 AM
Kathy said...: I'll be shocked if they overrule that call, but they aren't SEC officials!; 10:57 AM
Loganville Tiger said...: Prediction - CATCH - 1st & 10 AU; 10:57 AM
WarEagleRK said...: They ruled it incomplete.; 10:57 AM
Anonymous said...: Catch, overturned, first down; 10:58 AM
WarEagleRK said...: The ref on the radio broadcast already called it incomplete.; 10:58 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: DMiller- 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.; 10:58 AM
Jet said...: Let's flip this bad boy.; 10:58 AM
Unknown said...: It 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.; 10:58 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Now our D is back on the field.

I'm sorry Steve, it's hard to trust in Todd when a clutch throw like that is made that low.; 10:58 AM
WarEagleRK said...: new page?; 10:59 AM
Dear Leader said...: holy crap... what a crap call; 10:59 AM
