Many people...Not villified. But Justly criticized.<br /><br />Many people were lauding La Tech's strengths before the game as a warning to Auburn to look out. Son of Dooley, their success in conference, etc. Now that we beat them, they're just La Tech.<br /><br />By that logic LSU better watch out because they barely squeaked by 0-12 Washington. <br /><br />Ole Miss just managed to keep it going until lil ole Memphis ran out of gas at the end of the third quarter.War Eagle AC-47https://www.blogger.com/profile/16209779615792197607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-38956392029768723462009-09-06T17:04:45.695-05:002009-09-06T17:04:45.695-05:00I think this win needs to be put in perspective......I think this win needs to be put in perspective... it was LaTech. Let's get into October before we start comparing the differences in the previous staff and the current one. Don't forget how many games that staff won while they were at Auburn. It seems like they have become villified, and it doesn't seem right.ron mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914841169342926632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-36270915720829922882009-09-06T16:45:49.632-05:002009-09-06T16:45:49.632-05:00The big positives for me:

Made adjustments at half time. I think this has been pointed out by everyone. The only adjustment we were used to is our offense being told to stop competing.<br />3. Successfully threw long. Its been a while. Since Campbell really.<br />4. Got offensively stronger in the 2nd half. This is what cleaning out the old regime bought us.<br />5. Successfully ran the ball at the end of the game when La Tech knew we were going to run the ball. I need to vent here--- a major part of Tubs stratagy was to burn clock with safe running plays. Nall knew this, Gran knew this, the team knew this. Why were they all so bad at it? Why did it look like were were conceding all offensive production just to run the clock for three straight plays?<br />6. Covered kick-offs well. That got bad under Tubs when they moved the kick back to the 35 and we couldn't get the kicks into the endzone.<br />7. When was the last time we had this kind of field goal kicking?<br />8. No 3 and outs and very few negative yardage plays period.Marmothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03587702763493049517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607864319113145554.post-21238771852991548062009-09-06T13:37:00.160-05:002009-09-06T13:37:00.160-05:00agree on mario fannin shouldn't be returning p...agree on mario fannin shouldn't be returning punts and i'd go one step further and say he shouldn't return kickoffs, because he doesn't really get up field and look for seam.<br /><br />You also mentioned tommy trott not catching a pass. Why does he line up at receiver so much? I just can't see him getting open against a cornerback. We could at least line Deangelo Benton out there and we would look cooler, you know?<br /><br />And finally, I feel like we are wasting Gabe McKensie he didn't even get into the game until Neil Caudle did. Why can't he go back to D-end? I remember the last person at Auburn Chizik moved from tight end to D-line... I think his name was Jay Ratliff and he is decent at football these days. Besides I saw #96 out there... Who in the hell is that?ron mexicohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04914841169342926632noreply@blogger.com
