I've put off asking long enough. The M.O. the last few years is a lethargic first half, with good halftime adjustments. Has CMS fixed the transmission slipping in low gear?
Excellent question. But as Terry said it is hard to answer and won't be answered until September 2nd and beyond. Preferably I'd like to see a more "complete"/"consistent" style of play. Naturally you're going to have high's and lows during the course of a game. But keeping those "high's and lows" from going to extremes is important.I've put off asking long enough.

Really? I agree with buzzincuzzin, it seemed like we always started off a bit sluggish in the first half, but when the 3rd quarter rolled around we were like a different team. It's good to know the staff is able to make the necessary changes at halftime, it would just be nice if we could come out with our foot on the gas for a change.'Cuzzin.
I thought it was just the oposite. Starting first half then poor adjustments in second half.
Seems like we tried to open up the first half last year. Everybody at Auburn knew we would throw on first play.
Yeah...we were a second half team all year except for the LSU game. Before the LSU game, Utah State was the only team to score on us in the 3rd Quarter (3 points). Heck...we outplayed Auburn in the second half last year...we just couldn't make up the 21 points we gave them in the 1st Quarter. I think that was the giant hurdle we went over last year...halftime adjustments. We dominated almost every team we played in the second half...and that was a direct result of coaching and adjustments.Really?

I think you're talking about two different things - I think GA Bamafan is talking about first/second half of the season not games.
Bamabuzzard is talking about first/second half of games. We very often started slow, and made excellent adjustments after halftime.
I see your point, but I don't see how GA Bamafan could have come to that conclusion based on buzzincuzzin's post. He clearly mentioned "halftime adjustments" which would infer during games IMO. I also think GA Bamafan knew what buzzincuzzin was talking about, he just had a different opinion. At least that's how I understood it when reading their posts. :wink:I think you're talking about two different things - I think GA Bamafan is talking about first/second half of the season not games.
