I wrote a story for today's newspaper about Auburn's season-long tackling problems. Here's how it starts:

The play not only halted Auburn’s brief seizure of momentum, it epitomized the Tigers’ season-long inability to get the ballcarrier to the ground.

“We’re getting them in the positions. We’ve just got to bring these guys down,” Auburn coach Gene Chizik said. “That’s been kind of our Achilles’ heel at this point.”
