Auburn Season Spirals Out of Control

Here I sit at 4:40 a.m. unable to sleep. Watching Auburn get humiliated on national television has been known to invoke insomnia and nausea.  Take your pick.  Last night was ugly. Coming up with words to describe it are hard right now. How could something so good go so bad, so quickly? What a strange and depressing season.

You have to feel for these beat writers who cover Auburn football.  God love'em. Better them than me.  Below are the stories that are showing up in the morning papers around the South. These are the days when writers earn their money. Enjoy... Or not.

Feel bad for players

Whole team and staff has the “yips” right now, they can do it practice (maybe) but just can’t pull the trigger in the game. We have to change our expectations for rest of season to smaller wins, like a 12 play, 80 yard TD drive!! Caudle’s arm looks much stronger than Todd’s

I had a hard time sleeping too.

Watching the defensive penalties on the first LSU drive, and then Chiz’s lack of reaction was highly disturbing. What made it worse was an offense that showed brief spurts of being able to move the ball, but anywhere close to the red zone and it was instant freeze-up, with the exception of Neil Caudle. He came in the game about 2.5 quarters too late in my opinion. If Chiz is committed to the fact that 2009 is not the same as 2008, then it is time for him to get in there and make the tough decisions and attempt to fix it. If Todd in inneffective, but in Caudle and keep Kodi at wildcat..that would work. I know that we are thin on D, but bench the punks that commit stupid penalties on 3rd and long that allow a drive to continue.

I do think that the coaches are doing what is best with what they were left. I do see some promise in this team, and that is why these last 3 losses are so damn frustrating. What really makes it feel like last season is the splintering of the fan base and the ridiculous call for firing the coaches. Chiz would have almost been better losing some of the first 5, because then the expectations would not be so high.

Three words:

Caudle, Caudle, Caudle.

I don’t care if he comes in and makes the same mistakes Todd does, the kid needs experience against SEC defenses and we are in a good stretch for him to get it. Put him in there and let him learn from some real scenarios.
