Just What The Doctor Ordered

It was very nice to see Auburn handle a team they were supposed to. Got some very important players some very important rest. Now, the guys have got to shift their focus and get ready for Kentucky. Good read Jay.

I think we will have your answer on the Richt question, sooner rather than later. If he can’t get his first SEC win against Tennessee next week there may not be any salvaging going on. He may be let go immediately.

War Eagle! Beat Kentucky!

You can bet your sweet A** that these coaches will not let this team off the hook this week. Even Yoxall used the
“KY Jelly” game as a motivator this past year.
Cam needs more improvement on his passing game, and it’s still one of the better in the country, wow!
Malzahn is a GENIUS!
Jay Coulter is the MAN!
Thanks Jay

WAR EAGLE!

Just Kidding…LOL!

*more careful

…..been a team that makes mistakes and gets stupid penalties, at least under their last three coaches (Goff, Donnan, Richt). They were also so talented that they could get by with it. I think a lot of teams in their division (SC, UK, even Vandy) have closed the talent gap significantly while UGA’s been doin’ that soulja boy.

……This year, the mistakes remain, but they’ve installed a defensive scheme that they don’t have the personnel to run on top of other problems. Still, if they get a game where they stop the drive killing penalties, and their players hold onto the ball, they’ll beat someone good and shock us. I tuned away from the Bama Florida game a lot late, and watched UGA. They’ve got MUCH better players than Colorado, but found ways to foul drives up. I think Richt will knock off a good team or two, and be spared one more year. Could be mistaken on that, though, given the volatility of the Georgia administration lately. Richt and co will have to make a desperation grab for a big, ready-to-play JUCO nose tackle. With Aaron Murray a little more seasoned, and a defense that actually has a chance to stop people, Georgia could rebound a little next year.

We needed a laugher in the worst way and got one. The ULM QB, Browing, was very impressive early. He would have done well even against Bama for a while. He was getting rid of the ball quickly and hitting his receivers on quick salnts and outs before defenders made adjustments. Their receiver, Ambrose, is one of the fastest athletes in college football so I think the plan Rood had was to not let anybody get behind the DB’s and make Browning matriculate his way down the field, hoping they would bog down. And they did.

That won’t work against Akansas, but I am pleased with the development of the defense so far this year. I really think, if we can throw some confusing blitz packages at Mallet we can force him into some mistakes. He is an excellent QB but he gets a little jumpy under pressure. The key in that game will be to keep attacking. If we let him sit in the pocket, he will find the empty zone.

But first we have to beat Kentucky. This game still scares me because they have good athletes and can play as physical as any other SEC out there. Last years game was a lot more physical than I think we were ready for and they wore us out in the second half. Hopefully the staff will have them properly prepared…..that means no dumb penalties and no turnovers. If we are going to be a threat to Alabama, we need to get serious about that aspect of our game….to steel the mind…and MAKE our opponents beat us. Only Alabama can hang with us if we play mistake free football. If we can do that we WILL challenge for the SEC and the National title.

Speaking of Alabama, they are just scary good. If it weren’t for Saban and Bama fans, I would really find it hard not to like them. They play empassioned defense with lots of different looks and gritty smash mouth offensive football. I love to see a team line it up and dare you to stop them and work play action off that. Its still the best way to win football games and Alabama does it better than anybody. Greg McElroy doesn’t scare anybody behind center but all he does is win….it helps to have two unmitigated beasts behind you running the ball….but he makes all the plays and hasn’t ever lost. Thats just amazing. Oregon, Oklahoma, Nebraska, BSU, TCU????
Nobody holds a candle to the Tide. As good as we played last year, we will have to play twice as good to beat them on their own field. I hope we do the deed the rest of the way and show them our bloody fangs as we challenge them for football supremacy.

so i have a question hopefully someone can clarify for me.

lets say that south carolina loses to bama… and then florida loses to south carolina… how is an east sec victor chosen ???

i fully see the west coming down to an iron bowl showdown … and that would be an epic iron bowl !!! rtr and keep playing strong tigers i cant wait for the showdown.

but, they don’t have squat for a defense….Alabama would beat them like red headed step children. Just sayin.

I agree the ULM type games are needed to sandwich in some games to get the starters some rest and the reserves experience. This could well be an important game when all is said and done.
