They are all waking up ecstatic this morning. Good for them.

They work hard. They play together. I didn't feel this way after any game we played last year. I'm very happy that those guys get to feel this, and slightly upset that the fellas that left and/or graduated didn't. They are doing a whale of a job, and I am incredibly proud of their efforts.<br /><br />We win, we're 5-0, they've made it over every hurdle, I love us.<br /><br />War Eagle!

However, sometimes when he's being patient waiting on a block, I wish he'd just practice a little more field awareness - ie: it's 3rd and 2 - hit it and get the two, worry about breaking one the next time.<br /><br />I have this same thought about Todd. Couple of times last night when he broke the pocket and could have put it in FAH speed to get the three yards for the first down he essientially threw it away.<br /><br />But hey, the good guys won... it's some little things to work on.AllenDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16612107137809462434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-62597703773231509772009-10-04T07:47:18.934-05:002009-10-04T07:47:18.934-05:00Seems like everyone is running a version of the wi...Seems like everyone is running a version of the wildcat these days.

Amazing what a good offensive plan that puts players in position to play to their strengths can do.<br /><br />I don't think Tate has ever looked as quick as he did last night.<br /><br />The defense had the now normal tackling issues, along with a pass-rush that was nowhere to be found in the 4th quarter. Still, Auburn is 5-0, and I couldn't be more excited for the players after last year's implosion. It is great to see them having fun playing for AU again.AUfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01435620120449569688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-61043668634154548602009-10-04T07:42:47.607-05:002009-10-04T07:42:47.607-05:00Hey.

PPL can catch punts and FAH can return kickoffs (Tate didn't do bad either).<br /><br />The Bad: An inability to finish drives. I credit the UT defense here but we should have put UT away early in the 3rd quarter.<br /><br />The Ugly: The 4th quarter. UT gained far too much and scored too much when they should have been out of the game. UT was playing for much more than we were. Their season is pretty much shot before it's half through and they probably won't make a bowl game without a win last night. They wouldn't quit.NoVaTigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01597496051177680815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235343.post-54439109907405728182009-10-04T03:19:54.560-05:002009-10-04T03:19:54.560-05:00Just got back to ATL from the game.
