Yours has a better processor.

Yeah I love it so far.

 

[AUDub]

Aubren did not cover the number

First time in quite a while.

I'll get used to it, but it will take time.

Is KSU the 20th best team in the country? Maybe. Is the Barn the 5th best team? Certainly not.

OU and Baylor may eat them alive as well.

 

[CrimsonForce]

i just wonder who Saban will put on Duke? He is a matchup nightmare.

Tony Brown. Lockdown and throw away the key..

 

[Coach25]

Listening to Pollock and Palmer makes me mad as a hornet. They sound about as dumb as Nick Fairley.

Tony brown has a ways to go before I would want that match up. I would rather have Jackson on him as of right now or even change things up an put a physical Collins on him. You take away 1 them you take away 75% of auburns passing game.

If only they had a field goal kicker. What is it with kickers going flat against the barn?

We went down to the wire at unranked Kentucky in 2010.

So...

...yeah.

The first two were probably the result of the wind. The 28 yarder, though...

Kickers are head cases.

If the barn fans think they will continue to stay undefeated with that team in the sec they are in for a very rude awakening. I realize it was on the road but they let a average team at best out play them for most of the night who really beat themselves.

The dirt farmers were quite lucky tonight. On another note, am I the only one who gets utterly annoyed just looking at Rhett Lashlee?

 

[MBA_99]

So what teams beat AU based on this? Assume they were worse on the road in a weird atmosphere. Still they lose to A&M, LSU, a Miss school, UGA, and Bama.

 

[AUDub]

Aubren did not cover the number. They tried with the cheap pass with seconds left. Only a good tackle saved it from being a touchdown and aubren covering the spread.

Cheap?

I wouldn't call running a deep route to convert a 3rd and long to ice the game cheap.

Only if you assume they don't get better, they don't have any luck, and other teams don't regress.
Last year at this time, they had beat Mississippi State by 4 at home, Washington State by 7 at home, and were about to get beat by LSU. Who would have ever thunk at that point they would win out, win the SEC, and come very close to winning the national championship?
I'm not ready to sell them short, but yeah, they didn't look great tonight. But it was a Thursday night game in Kansas. And they will probably get better.

Bring Geno in and roll Landon over to to cover him man to man is what I would do. Duke is not that fast. What you have to have is a guy that can get him on the ground.

 

[Coach25]

I personally think they hired a voodoo witch doctor to put a curse on all opposing kickers. That has to be a NCAA violation. Even if it is, the NCAA could fin the doll, witch doctor, instructions on *U paperhead, an still wouldn't be able to find any wrong doing on the barn.

 

[TideFan in AU]

Cheap?

Agreed. I hate the barn as much anything, but that pass got the first down and won the game. That's just football.

Exactly he is just so big and physical. I think Collins would be great on press coverage and recover if slips past on line. This would also help control the end arounds that they run. I doubt Williams can block Collins.
