  11. at the end of the day i think most folks want the truth. we already know from jan 6 how the media and or the perception of the media messes with joe public. the more outlandish the story the more coverage they get which means a bigger payday. me? if that kid is innocent then leave him alone. and until we hold ALL news sources to the truth bull**** is going to walk. if a media source is telling whoppers for clicks and someone gets killed then they should be held accountable. i am pretty sure most libs want the truth. i do. and i have quite a few lib friends who feel like i do. but it is harmful. when i first heard it i wanted the kid to pay dearly. but lets be honest a minute. how many of us are demanding the truth including myself? it would sure help this country and calm things down quite a bit.
  12. Kobe Hudson, Ja'Varrius Johnson scratch surface with dueling 100-yard games By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-6 minutes Auburn wide receiver Kobe Hudson (5) makes a one-handed catch for a touchdown over Mississippi State cornerback Martin Emerson (1) during the first half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021, in Auburn, Ala. (AP Photo/Butch Dill)AP Overshadowed by Auburn’s epic collapse last weekend was the standout performances of a pair of Tigers wide receivers. Kobe Hudson and Ja’Varrius Johnson both put up career numbers during Auburn’s 43-34 loss to Mississippi State, becoming the first tandem of Tigers to post 100 yards receiving in the same game since Sammie Coates (206 yards) and Duke Williams (121) in the 2014 Iron Bowl. Hudson had eight catches for 107 yards and a touchdown, while Johnson finished with four catches for 102 yards and added a 57-yard rushing score.

Finley’s past experience against South Carolina a non-factor for this week’s start Bo Nix addresses future after ankle surgery “I think sometimes in games that you win, you cover up some things that were not good and mistakes that were made,” Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said. “Then, in games you lose, I think there’s players that play really hard and really well and do things that you ask them to do. We asked our wide receivers to be playmakers and make big plays when they had opportunities to do that…. There’s guys that, even in losses, take what they’re asked to do to heart and go out there and execute it.” Both Hudson and Johnson answered that call against Mississippi State. The two accounted for eight of Auburn’s 12 plays that yielded at least 15 yards. That included Johnson’s 57-yard touchdown, his 44-yard reception on the third-quarter play on which quarterback Bo Nix fractured his right ankle, as well as a 24-yarder in the fourth quarter that was originally called a touchdown but then ruled short upon review. Hudson had a 31-yard reception, as well as a 23-yarder. His most impressive play, though, came in the second quarter when he made a falling, one-handed, over-the-shoulder catch in the back corner of the end zone on a fade from Nix that put Auburn ahead 28-3. “He really put on a show, made consistent plays, and that was really impressive,” Nix said Wednesday during an appearance on The Next Round. “He made some tough catches, made some wild catches, too.” Hudson’s performance earned himself a newfound (and somewhat unlikely) fan by the end of the game: Mississippi State coach Mike Leach. “Auburn got some explosive plays, and one guy I’d like to meet was No. 5 (Hudson),” Leach said after the game. “That guy just tore it up.” Hudson now leads Auburn with 37 receptions for 490 yards and a pair of touchdowns this season, while Johnson — who had his most impactful performance since the season opener against Akron — has 11 catches for 220 yards and three total touchdowns this season. Last weekend’s performances against Mississippi State felt like a potential turning point for the two young receivers, and certainly something they — and an oft-beleaguered receiving corps that has endured issues with dropped passes and an early-season coaching change — could build on late in the season. “Just moving forward, that’s going to help their confidence, and going into next season they’ll have a lot to continue to build on,” Nix said. “It’ll be exciting to watch them finish out this year.” Nix may have to wait on watching Hudson, who was injured on a third-quarter hit that was ruled targeting on the field but overturned after review and is questionable for Saturday’s game at South Carolina. Hudson indicated on Instagram on Tuesday that he did not practice, and the only update Harsin gave about the sophomore’s status Wednesday was that his injury was “not season-ending.” Still, with Auburn turning to LSU transfer T.J. Finley as its starting quarterback for the remainder of the season, last weekend’s showing from the Tigers’ receivers is providing a certain level of comfort for Finley heading into his first start for the program. “Those guys are special,” Finley said. “Our whole receiver room is special, and I don’t think you guys have been able to see that yet as a group. Those two guys stood out last game and that’s just a tad bit of what they can do. Those guys are only going to get better from here. They’ve been working their butts off…. It does give me a lot of confidence knowing they are able to get the job done and they’re able to do what we’ve been coaching them to do all week and translate that over to the game.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

  13. theplainsman.com Auburn looks to remedy defensive struggles 11/18/2021, 9:30am 6-7 minutes Zakoby McClain (9) makes a tackle against Mississippi State on Nov. 13, 2021 in Auburn, AL. With Auburn's defensive struggles against Mississippi State and quarterback Will Rogers, leaders Chandler Wooten and Roger McCreary look to improve the Tigers’ communication Saturday against South Carolina. Rogers totaled 415 passing yards of offense in the Bulldogs’ historic comeback win over Auburn, with 260 of that total coming in the second half of the game. McCreary and Wooten said the defense’s failure was in communication, not overall scheme. The senior linebacker Wooten opted out of the 2020 season, citing concerns for the pandemic, but also intended to spend more time with his newborn son Chance. Wooten has returned in 2021 as a leader for the Tigers’ defense with 71 total tackles on the year. “I think we’ve had success stopping teams in the red zone, especially prior to last week." Wooten said. "Tightening up down there in the red zone and then third-down defense as well, those are two areas we kind of emphasize in practice a lot. Obviously, we want to try to control the passing game a little better. The last couple games, we’ve kind of let the run game step away from us a little bit as well.” The defensive struggles against the Mississippi State air raid came only in the second half, when it seemed to hit a brick wall, allowing Rogers to easily secure the comeback. “I think they just came out in the second half and just decided to do a couple different things from the first half,” Wooten said. “Everything we did worked in the first half. We just didn’t execute in the second half and that’s totally up to us as players to hold each other accountable.” Senior cornerback McCreary is another leading man for the Auburn defense. McCreary has totaled 39 tackles and two interceptions for the 2021 season. He echoed Wooten’s thoughts on the defense’s first-half success.

It’s that we weren’t focused. We just got ahead of ourselves,” McCreary said. “This week, that’s what it’s all about, just communication and going on with the scheme.” McCreary said that South Carolina’s new offensive coordinator has brought a new look to its approach, but the Auburn defense is breaking down a different piece each day to prepare their approach. He said there is no revenge plan from their loss last season, but instead they are entirely focused on this new team. “We’re going to always try to carry that confidence every week, even if we did bad one game. We try to carry that confidence every time and pick each other up,” McCreary said. “Each practice we try to work hard at the stuff we did bad the last game. That’s what’s going to happen this week: the focus of knowing the play before it happens.” Head coach Bryan Harsin’s message to his team is to have a 1-0 mentality and the defense in particular has taken that message to heart. Particularly in difficult games, their approach is to take it as a teachable moment but move quickly on to the next challenge. “We had a great practice [Tuesday] and looking forward to another great one today. I think it’s all about growing as a team and an individual,” Wooten said. “That’s life. Everything’s not always going to go your way but you’ve got to be able to move forward. I think that’s just important for us as a team.” Do you like this story? The Plainsman doesn't accept money from tuition or student fees, and we don't charge a subscription fee.

  14. Auburn OC Mike Bobo: T.J. Finley ‘has a presence about him’ at quarterback By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-7 minutes Mike Bobo has been high on T.J. Finley for some time. The veteran coach, in his first year as Auburn’s offensive coordinator, is partly responsible for bringing Finley to the Plains after he decided to transfer from LSU in the offseason. Shortly after Finley entered the transfer portal in early May, the quarterback was vacationing in Fort Lauderale, Fla., with his girlfriend. Auburn running back Tank Bigsby happened to be doing offseason workouts in the area, and he called Finley to make a pitch to join him on the Plains. Auburn had Bo Nix, Bigsby told him, but the running back wanted Finley to be the Tigers’ quarterback once Nix moved on from college. Read more Auburn football: Tigers defense ready to bounce back Kobe Hudson, Ja’Varrius Johnson “only going to get better” after dueling 100-yard receiving games Cam Newton continues Auburn legacy by inspiring T.J. Finley Soon after that conversation, Bigsby invited Finley to his Airbnb in Fort Lauderdale, and the two called Bobo, who made his own pitch to the 6-foot-7, 246-pound quarterback. Finley committed to Auburn later that month and joined the program this summer. He competed with Nix for the starting job in fall camp, and though he never truly threatened to overtake the third-year starter, he remained patient. Now, as Auburn heads into its final two games of the regular season without Nix—out for the year after ankle surgery earlier this week — it’s Finley at the reins of Bobo’s offense as the veteran coach prepares for a reunion with a South Carolina program he spent the 2020 season with. “I don’t think the moment would be too big for him,” Bobo said Wednesday during an appearance on the Tiger Talk radio show. “He’s played in ballgames, he’s played in big ballgames, he’s played in other people’s stadiums in this league, and he’s got to go out and do his job to trust his teammates.” Finley has appeared in six of Auburn’s 10 games this season, completing 17-of-33 passes for 275 yards and a pair of touchdowns, with another rushing score added in. His time on the field has been limited, with the most substantial reps coming in the second half of Auburn’s 34-24 comeback win against Georgia State on Sept. 25. That’s when Finley replaced a struggling Nix late in the third quarter and with Auburn down by five. He completed 9-of-16 passes for 97 yards and threw the game-winning touchdown to Shedrick Jackson on a broken fourth-down play inside the final minute. His playing time has been limited since then, but something has changed in the nearly two months since that relief appearance against the Panthers: He began receiving first-team reps in practice along with Nix, the coaching staff preparing him with the starters in the event his number needed to be called again. Finley has always tried to prepare like a starter, which has shown that life as a backup can at times be more difficult. He has put in all the work of QB1 but without the gameday reps to show for them. That everyday focus from Finley in his approach to the position has stood out to Bobo, though. It has embodied the 1-0 mentality that coach Bryan Harsin has tried to instill in the program from Day 1. “It’s putting in the work, putting in the time, studying, and he’s been doing that even when he was a backup,” Bobo said. “… He’s preparing before we even had the meeting with the coach. And I think that’s always a good sign for guys that you’re prepared before the meeting even starts. Yes, we’re going to go over it again. But you’re so prepared you’ve got questions when I start going over the over the concept of that play. So that’s the one thing is, ‘hey, you know, respond the right way, come in here and work. It’s your show this week, and (you have to) take responsibility.’ “It’s a big responsibility, being a quarterback at any level, especially in this league. And you know, if you want to win on the road in this league, you’ve got to have good quarterback play to do it.” Finley has handled his first week of practice as Auburn’s starting quarterback well, according to Bobo, who commended the sophomore for the way he has led the offense in practice this week and executed the gameplan as it has been installed. There are still things he is working on, and has been working on, fundamentally since he arrived at Auburn—footwork, balance, getting his back leg positioned properly so he can drive into his throws. As Bobo says, the quarterback position is a constant work in progress, and you’re never really a finished product. But Finley’s work to date and his prior experiences, including that comeback effort against Georgia State, should help as he heads into his first start in an Auburn uniform. It’s just a matter of translating that to the field Saturday. Auburn and South Carolina are set for a 6 p.m. kickoff from Williams-Brice Stadium, with the game airing on ESPN. “He’s got some poise; he’s got command,” Bobo said. “When he takes the field, he does a good job of leading the guys in not just getting them lined up — (but) taking over. You’re like a coach on the field as a quarterback, and he has a presence about him, and commands respect from the other guys, which is good to see.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group.

  15. Tigers look for more ground-game punch against. Gamecocks ByMark Murphy 4-5 minutes 2 Minute Drill: Auburn looking to rebound at South Carolina AUBURN, Alabama–Auburn will try to snap its first two-game losing streak of the Bryan Harsin Era on Saturday night and a key to that happening could be improvement in the running attack, which struggled the past two outings in losses at Texas A&M and at home to Mississippi State. With starting quarterback Bo Nix out with an injury for the rest of the 2021 football season and his backup, T.J. Finley, making his first Auburn start this week, the Tigers will try to reverse a disturbing offensive trend. After rushing for 207 yards on 46 carries in a victory over Ole Miss, the ground game has become anemic. At Texas A&M the Tigers managed just 73 yards on 29 carries. Although the 106 yards on 27 carries vs. Mississippi State looks like an improve ent from the game at College Station, when subtracting 57 yards on a run/pass option touchdown play to Ja'Varrius Johnson that was ruled a run, Auburn’s true ground game netted just 49 yards on 26 carries vs. the Bulldogs. For the season the Tigers are averaging 175.8 rushing yards per contest. How important is it to make the running attack more productive on Saturday at South Carolina? Senior center Nick Brahms said that is a goal for the offense, especially with Finley making his first start of the season. “We have got to take the pressure off him a little bit,” Brahms said. “T.J. has a great arm. He can throw really well. He is going to be excited to make some throws and he will because he can and he is capable, but, yeah, the run game is going to be big. It is always big every week, even when we had Bo. Get that run game going, and that opens up everything on offense.” Asked what the Tigers need to do to make that happen, Brahms said, “Just execution, really our assignments and just keep communicating on the O-line and using our technique that Coach (Will) Friend harps on every day. That’s about it.” South Carolina ranks 11th in the SEC in rushing defense allowing 169.1 yards per game. Finley agrees with Brahms about the need for more rushing production. "It’s going to be very important," the quarterback said. "We need to dominate the line of scrimmage, both in the running game and the passing game. When you are the most physical team, the outcome of success is very high. The rate of success is very high once we get the running game going, and I believe we will. :Those guys upfront have been working their butts off," said Finley, who added, "I do believe you’ll see a different run attack this week. I just can’t wait to display that for you guys." The Tigers will go into the matchup without their third leading rusher, Nix, who has 168 yards and four rushing touchdowns. Tank Bigsby, a sophomore, is the Tigers’ top rusher with 776 yards and nine scores while averaging 5.0 yards per carry. Jarquez Hunter, a freshman, has rushed for 556 yards and three touchdowns while averaging 7.2 yards per rush. Freshman running back Jarquez Hunter (27) carries with a tackler on his back in the second half vs. Ole Miss. (Photo: Adam Sparks / Inside the Auburn Tigers, 247Sports) Auburn brings a 6-4 record into the contest scheduled for a 6 p.m. CST kickoff at Williams-Brice Stadium. The Tigers are 3-3 in the SEC while the host Gamecocks are 2-5 in the league and 5-5 overall. Auburn lost 43-34 last Saturday at home to Mississippi State while South Carolina fell 31-28 at Missouri. 24COMMENTS The Tigers lead the overall series vs. the Gamecocks 10-2-1 and had not lost to South Carolina since 1933 prior to being upset 30-22 last year's year in a game played at Columbia.
  16. delta was always my fav but i have only flown like three times.
  17. there is a trilogy about drugs in mexico flooding america. they are all door stoppers but they are the mexican version of the godfather. just great stuff and super informative.

  21. you do not think matt playing hurt had anything to do with it? plus the time lost getting checked out? they might be minor points but they did contribute.
  22. the man just claimed he had not posted on here in a long time because of the way he was treated. if you leave and do not post for a while you did not get a chuckle out of it.
  23. people show disrespect on here because other posters are not calling them out on their bull. people that enjoy belittling others have some serious problems. now politics is differnt but they also have a smack talk section just for that and most people know what they are walking into. i wonder how many kids have joined and left because someone took joy in humiliating them and they left. i have seen it with adults and it is not a good look.
  24. he was here twice today. he posts mostly in the eagles nest.
