Defenses (Ark did it last year) just stack the box and keep their 2ndary deep. The middle of the field is begging to be exploited.<br /><br />If we hit some intermediate passes, it would be too much for defenses to handle. <br /><br />That's exactly what we did against Bama in 2004. They were playing that aggressive front look and we just started hitting those middle routes and then pulled away from them a little bit...hopefully we'll see some of that against USC. I can't imagine that Malzahn doesn't see it on film...<br /><br />But unfortunately that's one problem with gurus, they have a set way of doing things and so they miss the obvious when it's outside their personal ideology. Hopefully that's not the case here...Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436510596736487435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-21491109549787366002010-09-20T07:49:15.863-05:002010-09-20T07:49:15.863-05:00I paid $125 for a seat in the Clemson section, and...I paid $125 for a seat in the Clemson section, and I'll say it was worth every penny. <br /><br />I was not impressed with the O in the first half--just as I predicted before the season, defense is the strength of this team. The good news is Malzahn doesn't just keep doing the same thing over and over and he eventually found some things that worked. If we could just execute the simple things, hitches, outs, posts, zone-runs, etc... we'd be pretty good on O. Newton's runs should enhance our O, not define it...<br /><br />Also Andy, you're a great reporter, but you guys need to realize that it's not Chizik's job to get you a good story. I know it sounds kinda Steve Jobs like ("Our goals do not include helping you get a good grade."), but it's true. <br /><br />As a fan, I used to hate it when TB would basically announce the game plan to the media each week. And from what I see, Chizik's MO is pretty much par this days.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436510596736487435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-10188492692395680052010-09-19T23:03:54.760-05:002010-09-19T23:03:54.760-05:00Golly guys; WE WON!

Clemson was a tough opponent and will probably win the ACC title.<br />Lets celebrate a huge win and hope our coaches straighten out the details.<br /><br />We don't throw many short passes because Cam isn't very good in that part of the game, though he seems to be improving and hopefully that will get better as the season goes along.MikePnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-38664223043599348762010-09-19T21:57:30.192-05:002010-09-19T21:57:30.192-05:00thanks for the great coverage, AB.

Could it be that he knows the media is just waiting to pounce on any little detail he gives out to blow it out of purportion? I mean look how all you guys reacted to the God thing last night. Maybe you should drop the attitude and look in the mirror.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-51330399148788028852010-09-19T19:56:30.904-05:002010-09-19T19:56:30.904-05:00Did any of you anons watch the game?

They were bigger than our guys on both sides and we still licked them enough for the win. Don't blame it on the players fully either because Dabo and his staff coached a helluva game.

They are suppose to be good. Our defense gets gouged constantly for big yards. Both sides of the ball they totally look different than bama. What is wrong with the offensive line and defensive line coaches...and don't get me started on our defensive backs. They do not stay tight with the receiver when playing man, and therefore, maybe we need to play mostly zone. I would think Ziemba could knock a whole in the defensive line and dyer fun behind him. Our QB needs to get some 4-7 yd pass plays. throw over or in front of the linebackers. We just need an overall balance improvement in every area of our team. I would like to see Auburn get a defense again. We do not shut anyone down.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-64547348162787004072010-09-19T16:39:04.708-05:002010-09-19T16:39:04.708-05:00credibility: I am an older walk on with a PhD and ...credibility: I am an older walk on with a PhD and a student of the game. Why has Malzahn thrown out his playbook? We all thought (85k fans) it looked like sand lot football with no designed plays... Also, when giving a ball to speedsters, the line just watches instead of serious blocking. I was honestly embarrassed at the game. Embarrassed !! No game plan or structure..!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
