3 questions answered: Auburn

I asked 3 questions, I answer 3 questions:
  1. Can Aaron Murray exploit the Auburn passing D? Well, the 4th quarter comeback/heartsmash never happens if he doesn't. I'm surprised we waited as long as we did to start working on the middle. Perhaps it had something to do with Dee Ford living in Murray's back pocket so much early.
  2. Has our rushing defense been a mirage? Lord, yes. Auburn is a good, physical football team. Grantham didn't have his group ready to handle Marshall and Mason's ability to read blocking to get to the hole. He didn't have them ready to handle their blocking schemes. Or tackle when we did get to the runner.
  3. Special teams. I really can't complain about this.
This game will hurt for a while, not because we should have won or because of the terrible play that will be the defining moment of Auburn football for a long time, but because we finally made solid halftime adjustments offensively, especially considering how overmatched the offensive line looked at times. I've long felt Bobo would be slovenly devoted to his game plan, but he showed ingenuity in scheming around those line issues.

SEC Power Poll Ballot, Week whatever


  1. Alabama - You know, even Chief fans aren't asking to play 'Bama.
  2. Missouri - Now we find out if the Tigers are real or if they are just toying with us.
  3. Auburn - Can I tell you just how much I can't wait to not see that play all the time for the next 20 years?
  4. Texas A&M - Sooner or later, JFF is going to throw a pick to lose a game. Or party with Lorde and Taylor Swift. Perhaps both.
  5. LSU - The Tigers are playing for the Cotton Bowl this week. 
  6. South Carolina - I'd bet if you really asked most South Carolina fans, they don't want Bama.
  7. Georgia - Georgia could end up losing to three top ten teams, beat two top 15 teams and play in the Music City Bowl. 
  8. Ole Miss - Is it me or does anyone else think they are being set up for a season ending let down?
  9. Vandy - Trips to Memphis, Nashville, and Birmingham for bowl games is a huge let down for some programs. It is a record for Vandy.
  10. Florida - Welcome to reversion to the mean, Florida fans.
  11. Tennessee - There are some people in Shreveport rooting for Tennessee to upset Vandy this week. That just didn't sound right.
  12. Mississippi State - Definitely the best 4-6 team in the nation.
  13. Kentucky - Hey, basketball season.
  14. Arkansas - And then they caught fire.
