We are going to go over there and win.

We`ve got to find a running game somehow

 

[57stratdawg]

I'm afraid they are going to find some holes in our secondary.

I'm afraid they are going to find some holes in our secondary.

And we'll find a couple grand canyons in theirs

Several years ago, a buddy of mine was at a tennis event where a former professional player was about to play the local hotshot. At dinner the night before the match, the local guy asked a friend of the pro's if the guy had any weaknesses. The guy said, yeah, he's got plenty of weaknesses. None that YOU'LL ever be able to find though. Good luck to Jeremy Johnson finding holes in our secondary.

Guess who has thrown more interceptions than any other QB in the country?

You guessed it...Heisman Hopeful Jeremy Johnson.

In our last two games we are giving up 91 yards per game passing.

LSU dropped an easy pick-6 that hit the DB right between the numbers too.

 

[PBRME]

Jeremy Johnson will find his rhythm with soft, short passes to wide open receivers in the middle of our defense.

 

[archdog]

Why point them to the answer? If only our players would actually cover guys in the middle of the field.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

You just said Jeremy Johnson and rhythm in the same sentence. Have you seen this guy play yet?

 

[Crazy Cotton]

i don't see J. Johnson actually playing, if he does, it's 2012 all over again

Just have to wonder how bad the backups are if that guy is still on the field.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Yeah I was actually happy to see Jeremy Johnson get a couple of TDs late against LSU's backups, hopefully that will keep him a starter.

Something was just wrong with this Auburn team before the season ever started, the tweets by Duke Williams were just weird for a guy who was said to be one of the best WRs in the SEC who was supposed to be catching passes from a QB who was supposed to be not only a better passer than Nick Marshall but was drawing comparisons to Cam Newton!

I'll still maintain that the "somehow" we're looking for is by getting back to Dak being an actual threat to run. JRob was a tough runner last year and we had a senior-laden O line, no doubt, but a lot of those gaping holes that he found throughout the season came from defenses having to constantly worry about Dak taking off. Aside from 1-2 instances per game this year, he has been virtually no threat. If that's going to be the deal, so be it and I guess we'll have to get used to it, but I think that all of our RBs will struggle until that changes

Aside from that, we absolutely HAVE to create a couple turnovers this weekend. If we can do that, I really like our chances. If we come up with another goose egg, though, I think they're 50/50 at best

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

Yeah the think to remember is that he was annointed the starter. Normally when your QB leaves there is at least some competition but he was so much better than the back up he was never in doubt to start and therefore has gotten all of the 1st team reps

 

[BiscuitEater]

Respectfully disagree ..

Jeremy was 'anointed' as this year's starter and Heisman candidate because his '14 stats were even better than Nick Marshall's.

Jeremy Johnson was 28 of 37 (75.7%), for 3 TDs, 0 INTs for a 201.42 efficiency rating.
Meanwhile, Marshall was 178 of 293 (60.8%), for 20 TDs, 7 INTs for a 169.76 efficiency rating.

BUT .. Auburn fans failed to grasp the fact that Johnson only appeared in 7 games .. and when he did play, there was ABSOLUTELY ZERO pressure as the games had already been decided.

 

[Seinfeld]

Yes, but I also saw a 6' 190 lb kid torch us in our first game this year

that we held to a QBR of 7.4 last season. For me, it doesn't matter what a kid has done in the past if you're going to give him all day in the pocket while sitting back and leaving the middle of the field open.

Once again, I'm not going to blast Diaz because once the final whistle has blown, I typically look back at the box score and think to myself, well... that wasn't too bad of a defensive effort. But for whatever reason, he has a repeated tendency to spot teams a lot of yards and/or points before getting things worked out. It's almost like he doesn't watch a minute of game film all week and decides that he's just going to analyze things during the first quarter of each game.

 

[Bulldogg31]

That kid (Nick Mullens) now ranks in the top 15 in the country in passing yardage and completions per game. As bad as the SEC quarterbacks are, he will end up being one of the better QB's we face this year. The kid can throw it.

 

[tenureplan]

Because Gus is scouring our message board hoping to find a few hints on how to beat us...

 

[Bulldogg31]

Backup is a redshirt freshman that has never taken a snap.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

I don't understand what I said that you disagree with. My only point was that he is the best QB on their roster and he sucks.
