on his missed kick against a&m one of the announcers said the holder did not have the ball in the proper position. this was the one that hit the crossbar. i have also heard this is a problem this from a couple of fans but they are not coaches so who knows?

you forgot one arm as well. i am not dissing tj at all as i would like to see more of him but i think harsins doing what is the best right thing to do right now to win games. i still do not get bo sitting a series or more if it takes it to wake bo up. the sad truth is bo has no faith in his line. he cannot come out and say it but our o line struggled and had a really bad game. i think they gave their all but saturday they were outclassed. a&m had some serious studs on that d. they are the best in the league right after jawja in my humble opinion.

Bryan Harsin denies Fisher’s claim over snap count By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com 5-6 minutes Auburn quarterback Bo Nix (10) talks with coach Bryan Harsin during the second half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Nov. 6, 2021, in College Station, Texas. Texas A&M won 20-3. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip)AP Bryan Harsin pushed back Monday on Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher’s claims over the weekend that Auburn was simulating the Aggies’ snap count. Fisher was upset with two false start penalties in the third quarter with the game tied at 3-3 that pushed his team back ultimately resulting in a field goal in what could have been a touchdown. Texas A&M went on to win 20-3, but after the game Fisher was still upset about the calls and said he was going to call the SEC league office to complain about Auburn being allowed to simulate Texas A&M’s snap count without penalty. “Here’s what gets me. If you can do that and get a delay of game. You can do that and get a delay of game. You can call a snap count, and it ain’t a penalty,” Fisher told reporters Saturday after the game. “Ain’t that amazing, when you’re down there on the goal line when they’re calling your snap count? I’m sick and tired of it, man. You’re going to call all that garbage and then not do that. And you can’t hear. You couldn’t hear the slap or anything else.” Read more Auburn football: What Auburn coach Bryan Harsin about upcoming game against Miss St https://www.al.com/auburnfootball/2021/11/bryan-harsin-on-auburns-offensive-rut-we-need-to-have-better-plays-and-better-play-calls.html Bowl projections for Auburn after Week 10 After initially claiming to not be very familiar with Fisher’s claims, Harsin offered his perspective Monday on the A&M coach’s critiques. He said if his defensive players were talking, they were talking to each other rather than simulating the snap count. “I don’t even know if they know the snap count,” the Auburn head coach said. “I know on the first one, watching it, their offense was pointing at our guys,” Harsin said. “Then they had another one again, on the second play, back-to-back, I think their left tackle -- he moved and put his head down. Usually, when a guy on offense moves and drops his head, it’s on him, alright? Most of the time, offensive linemen don’t sell it very well. Like, if they made a mistake, they acknowledge it. That’s most of their nature -- take it, accept it and move the ball back.” Harsin, a former college quarterback, also pushed back on the effectiveness of what Fisher alleged Auburn was doing. Harsin said he didn’t think many defenses teach trying to do it and can only remember one or two instances in his career he can remember it possibly happening. “I’ve been around coaches that are like, we’re going to go out there and use their snap count for what we do. Guys do that; it doesn’t last long,” Harsin said. “Officials are on that. I think officials actually do a pretty good job, if you’re a team that claps, and the defense goes out there and claps and tries to draw you offsides or tries to use your verbal cadence in there -- for the most part, the officials are pretty good about that. And I don’t really ever see that being a big factor. So I think that’s just -- I think when that stuff happens, everybody just feels like that. But I don’t think it actually goes on very often.” Ultimately, the game resulted in the Tigers no longer controlling their destiny to win the west. Auburn needs to win its remaining games starting with this Saturday at 11 a.m. against Mississippi State. The following week takes the Tigers to play a South Carolina team that trounced Florida last week. The season ends with an Iron Bowl matchup at home against Alabama. Harsin knows the Tigers can’t dwell in last week’s game or subsequent allegations of snap count manipulation. “If you want to be great at something there’s a level of focus and discipline you have to have every single day and focus on the things that matter in order to keep improving,” Harsin said. That’s always going to be the challenge. Better people with the right mindset, you get the right people in here and that process becomes a little bit easier because they’re already driven to do those things. That’s the challenge. You bright in, not just people, but the right people that want to achieve that. It becomes more of an identity for your team. Those are the things we’re working on now.” Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter at @nwilborn19.

Twitter flags GOP lawmaker's anime video depicting him killing Ocasio-Cortez, attacking Biden Dartunorro Clark Mon, November 8, 2021, 10:52 PM Twitter added a warning label Monday to a tweet from a Republican lawmaker that depicted an animated killing of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and an attack on President Joe Biden — saying the post violated the company's rules about "hateful conduct." But the tweet, from Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Ariz., will remain accessible for the "public interest," Twitter said in its notice. Gosar shared an altered video Sunday evening in which he and other Republican lawmakers, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, are depicted as heroes from the Japanese anime series "Attack on Titan." The post-apocalyptic series revolves around a small civilization that lives in a bordered-off city to protect itself from giant human-like creatures called Titans. Ocasio-Cortez's face is superimposed on one of the Titans, who is killed by Gosar's character. His character also attacks a Titan with Biden's face. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Ocasio-Cortez responded in a tweet, calling Gosar "creepy" and criticizing GOP leaders. "And he'll face no consequences bc @GOPLeader cheers him on with excuses," she wrote, referring to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. "Fun Monday! Well, back to work bc institutions don't protect woc," or women of color. Gosar, a staunch ally of former President Donald Trump, has been at the forefront of efforts to downplay the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. He made headlines in 2018 when six of his siblings appeared in an ad endorsing his congressional opponent. Gosar's siblings later pressed for him to be removed from office for his fringe views. "Happy Monday in America, where@GOPLeader McCarthy's colleague just posted a video of himself swinging two swords at President Biden. These blood thirsty losers are more comfortable with violence than voting. Keep exposing them," Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif, tweeted Monday, tagging McCarthy. Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., characterized Gosar's actions as "sick behavior." "In any workplace in America, if a coworker made an anime video killing another coworker, that person would be fired," Lieu tweeted. Gosar and McCarthy's offices did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Neither did Greene's or Boebert's. The video, which Gosar also posted on Instagram, appears to include video of migrants at the U.S. southern border — similar to a 2018 ad tweeted by Trump. In the clip shared by Gosar, video of migrants and border patrol agents is intermixed with animated scenes in which the words "drugs," "crime," "poverty," "money," "murder," "gangs," "violence" and "trafficking" appear on the screen. Instagram did not immediately respond to a question about whether the video violates its policies.

Rolling Stone Ryan Bort 15-18 minutes November 8, 2021 4:15PM ET Jan. 6 Committee Subpoenas All-Star Roster of Anti-Democracy Activists Including Michael Flynn, John Eastman The committee wants to know what those closest to Trump knew about the attack on the Capitol Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has been subpoenaed by the House committee investigating the events of Jan. 6. Tasos Katopodis/Getty Images The House Select Committee investigating the events of Jan. 6 has issued a slew of new subpoenas to prominent Trump World figures — including Michael Flynn, John Eastman, Jason Miller, and more — in a significant acceleration in its inquiry into the causes of the Capitol attack. “In the days before the January 6th attack, the former President’s closest allies and advisors drove a campaign of misinformation about the election and planned ways to stop the count of Electoral College votes,” Select Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said in a statement. The Select Committee needs to know every detail about their efforts to overturn the election, including who they were talking to in the White House and in Congress, what connections they had with rallies that escalated into a riot, and who paid for it all.” In addition to Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser who has become one of nation’s most prominent conspiracy theorists; Eastman, the former Trump lawyer who drafted a memo instructing former Vice President Mike Pence how to overturn the election results on Jan. 6; and Miller, a Trump campaign adviser, the committee is also calling for documents and testimony from Bill Stepien, who managed Trump’s 2020 campaign, Angela McCallum, a Trump campaign assistant, and Bernie Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner whom Trump pardoned. The committee is calling for all six of the figures issued subpoenas to produce documents by Nov. 23, and to testify before the committee in depositions that will take place at the end of November and into December. Here’s what we know about why the committee is targeting these six figures: Michael Flynn: Flynn’s subpoena refers to an Oval Office meeting Flynn “reportedly attended” on December 18, 2020. At the meeting in question, participants apparently “discussed seizing voting machines, declaring a national emergency, invoking certain national security emergency powers,” as well as the best ways to continue messaging that the 2020 election was marred by widespread fraud. Why would the committee think Flynn would have anything to do with a conversation like that? Perhaps because the day before, the former Trump White House national security adviser appeared on Newsmax, where he detailed the potential options available to Donald Trump, including the seizure of voting machines and use of “military capabilities” in order to “rerun” the election in certain states. “People out there talk about martial law like it’s something that we’ve never done. Martial law has been instituted 64 times,” Flynn said. None of that, of course, was particularly surprising either, given Flynn’s well-documented history of anti-Democratic inclinations, his chummy private conversation with a Russian ambassador, his involvement in a plot to kidnap and smuggle a Turkish dissident to an island prison for $15 million, or his suggestion (he’s since claimed to have been misquoted) at a QAnon convention that the United States should have its own Myanmar-style military coup. (That coup has claimed at least 1,000 lives so far.) John Eastman: Eastman’s role in the attack has been brought into question recently after it was revealed in a new book from Bob Woodward and Robert Costa that he drafted a memo instructing Pence how to subvert the Constitution and block the certification of the 2020 election results on Jan. 6. The committee notes that Eastman, a former Trump lawyer, also told legislators that it was their “duty” to “make sure that we’re not putting in the White House some guy that didn’t get elected,” and that he participated in a Jan. 5 meeting at the Willard Hotel in which Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, and others plotted how to overturn the election results. Eastman also delivered a speech at the rally at the Ellipse on Jan. 6. Jason Miller: Miller was a longtime — in Trump World terms, anyway — adviser to and spokesperson for Trump who worked on the 2020 campaign. Miller repeatedly pushed the idea that the election was stolen, helped coordinate post-election press events broadcasting the idea that it was rigged, and reportedly participated in the Jan. 5 meeting at the Willard Hotel in which Bannon, Giuliani, and others discussed how to overturn the results and prevent Biden from taking office. Bill Stepien: Stepien was Trump’s campaign manager in 2020, a role that would typically consist entirely of helping your candidate attempt to win the election. But after failing utterly in that task, Stepien took things a step further, urging state and party officials to delay the certification of Biden’s win, an attempt to create chaos and sow doubt about the outcome. The team’s endgame was to get state lawmakers to send an alternative slate of electoral votes to Congress, allowing Trump’s GOP allies there to override the will of their voters during a certification process on… Jan. 6. Angela McCallum: The subpoena sent by the select committee identifies McCallum as “national executive assistant” on Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign. The subpoena says the committee’s ongoing investigation and public news reports “have revealed credible evidence that you are aware of, and participated in, efforts to spread false information about alleged voter fraud in the November 2020 election.” Specifically, the subpoena cites reporting by a Michigan news outlet that said McCallum left a voicemail for an unnamed Michigan state representative in December 2020. At the time, then-President Trump had declared Joe Biden’s victory fraudulent and invalid, and lawyers Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell were spewing baseless claims about rigged voting machines and voter fraud. In her voicemail message, McCallum said she was calling from Trump campaign headquarters “on behalf of the president.” She told the lawmaker that he could be “a crucial part” of Trump’s reelection and urged him to “reclaim your authority” and “send a slate of electors that will support President Trump and Vice President Pence.” McCallum ends the message by asking if Trump can “count on you” to support a rival slate of electors. In the end, the leaders of Michigan’s Republican-controlled state legislature did not send a rival slate of electors, saying they did not have the legal power to do so. You can listen to McCallum’s voicemail message here. Bernard Kerik: Where to begin with Bernie Kerik? Kerik first landed on the national scene as the tough-talking New York Police Department commissioner under then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani at the time of the September 11th terrorist attacks. Kerik’s profile rose from there, and President George W. Bush nominated him to run the Department of Homeland Security in 2004. Kerik’s fall, however, was as swift as his rise, his legal troubles piling up before he ultimately pleaded guilty to two counts of tax fraud, one count of making a false statement on a loan application, and five counts of making false statements to the federal government in 2010. But in early 2020, President Trump granted him a full pardon, with Trump personally delivering the news. With his connection to Giuliani, Kerik found a place in Trump’s inner circle, and played a not-insignificant part in the Trump team’s efforts to stop Biden’s election victory by any means necessary. According to the select committee’s subpoena, Kerik allegedly participated in a pivotal meeting on January 5th at the Willard Hotel across the street from the White House. Also at the meeting were Giuliani, Steve Bannon, DOJ lawyer and election-saboteur John Eastman, and several others. The attendees discussed strategies for “overturning the results” of the election, the subpoena says, including “pressuring Vice President Pence to not certify the electoral college results.” Kerik did more than attend that January 5th meeting. He also paid for rooms and suites at Washington hotels that “served as election-related command centers” as well as helped Giuliani since as early as November 5th “investigate allegations of voter fraud and promote ‘Stop the Steal’ efforts,” the subpoena says. It’s unlikely that everyone who was subpoenaed Monday will cooperate. Steve Bannon defied a subpoena to testify before the committee last month, prompting the House to vote to hold him in criminal contempt. The Justice Department is now deciding how it plans to proceed. Jeffrey Clark, a Trump Justice Department official, responded to a subpoena but last week refused to answer questions from the committee, claiming executive privilege. “He has a very short time to reconsider and cooperate fully,” Thompson said on Friday. “We need the information that he is withholding and we are willing to take strong measures to hold him accountable to meet his obligation.” It’s unclear if the committee will attempt to subpoena members of Congress, but they’d have good reason to considering Rolling Stone’s report last month that several prominent Republican lawmakers were “intimately” involved in the planning of the events of Jan. 6 that turned violent. In the meantime, the committee is drilling down on what Trump’s inner circle knew about the attack on the Capitol that left five dead and dozens injured in an attempt to stop the certification of the 2020 election. Newswire talk about scum..............wow. trump lawyer drafting letters to mike pence on how to overturn a fair election. and tell me my pretty republicans how many are ok with this? how man are going to vote for trump again while pretending you love your country?

Rolling Stone S.E. Cupp 19-24 minutes November 8, 2021 8:35AM ET Tucker Carlson Is a ‘Manipulative Son of a Bitch’ — and Other Thoughts from Adam Kinzinger The outgoing Republican lawmaker gets candid about what he was ready to do Jan. 6, his next election, and whether Republicans will pay a price for their addiction to Donald Trump Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) walking to a House Jan. 6 select committee hearing in July. Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc/ Getty Images) Adam Kinzinger is the kind of Republican that Democrats say we need in Congress to put American politics on a more even keel. Throughout Donald Trump’s rise to power, Kinzinger, a 43-year-old Republican representative from Illinois, grew more wary of the president’s willingness to stay inside the boundaries of his executive authority and more convinced that Trump would try to dismantle democratic institutions that got in his way. Kinzinger was one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for “incitement of insurrection,” and he’s one of only two Republicans, along with Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, sitting on the House select committee to investigate the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. But while Democrats say they want a Republican like Kinzinger, when presented with a real-life example, it becomes clear that a lot of them don’t really mean it. Democrats in Illinois redrew Kinzinger’s district on unfavorable terms and essentially ended his career in the House. “I think that what it says to people is that you want Republican allies in the defense of democracy until it’s politically advantageous to not,” Kinzinger says. Kinzinger announced last month he won’t run again, another setback for a politician who was once seen as destined for bigger things. A veteran of the Iraq War, a principled and cleareyed conservative who avoided the kind of culture-wars talk that had become increasingly prevalent on Fox News and Facebook, Kinzinger was frequently the subject of presidential chatter. That is, until he started opposing former President Donald Trump. As he (mildly) puts it, he is now “persona non grata,” censured by his party and shunned by some members of his own family. Now, as he contemplates his future, the question is: Who is left to cheer him on, besides the lonely island of Never-Trump conservatives (like me)? Because while everyone says they want a Republican like Adam Kinzinger, when presented with a real-life example, it’s not clear that anyone wants a Republican like Adam Kinzinger. I sat down with him to discuss a potential run for president, what lies ahead for the GOP that left him behind, the Jan. 6 insurrection, and whether he has any regrets. So, who are Adam Kinzinger voters? Well, there’s about six people. I can give you their names. Look, I think there is a large group of people that are Republican, independent, and Democratic that, if you asked them, “Do you feel like you deeply belong to a party, or do you feel politically homeless?” would say “politically homeless.” I think right now the biggest problem in our political system is that we’re arguing the same solutions to the same problems we did when Ronald Reagan was elected. If we stay in the same battles our parents have been fighting with each other, it’s not going to change. But don’t you have to want to solve problems to do that? It feels like today’s politics favors leaving systems broken, so you can run on them and fundraise off them. On immigration, particularly, we’ve come so close, many times, to real, comprehensive immigration [reform]. And it’s always the extremes that tank it, 100 percent of the time. But it’s a two-way street. On guns, if your answer to me is that gun bans are the only way to solve violent crime, and you’re not going to listen to a thing about mental health, we’re not going to have a conversation. That’s why I think there has to be a radical kind of soft revolution in how we do politics. We can change the system. We can change the narrative. But it’s going to take the younger generation, which I’ll put myself in. So, are you the leader of that radical revolution? I don’t know if I want to be the leader of the radical revolution. But I think I can put a voice to what people have been thinking, but they don’t necessarily know. If you’re in the matrix, right, and you’re convinced that the only answer, if you don’t like Joe Biden, is Donald Trump, and, if you don’t like Donald Trump, it’s Joe Biden, there’s this little political matrix you’re in. Every issue is binary. You’re either pro-life or pro-choice. Pro-gun or anti-gun. Outside the matrix is this whole, beautiful array of candidates, of ideas, of solutions. The inner city and the rural town are diametrically opposed, politically. But they have the same issues, they’re confronting the same problems: drug use, broken homes, hopelessness, no jobs available. They should actually be politically aligned, but the parties have convinced them to oppose each other. So, am I the leader? Look, I’ll put [my PAC] Country First out there and see what people say. It’s been growing fast. How do you feel about not returning to Congress? When I landed in D.C. on Monday, it was the first time I ever landed in the District and didn’t feel a seriously major, heavy weight land on top of me. I can’t explain it, but every member that announces they’re not running again tells me the same thing. Do you blame Republicans for driving out conservatives like you, or Democrats for redistricting? I think this is an important point — I’m not disappointed. I get so many people who call me like, “How’re you doing?” like I just lost somebody. I’m doing great, honestly. But I blame Democrats for drawing that map. And I think that what it says to people is that you want Republican allies in the defense of democracy until it’s politically advantageous to not. To me, that means they don’t understand how real the threat to democracy is. Speaking of, take me back to Jan. 6. I knew there was going to be violence. I didn’t necessarily know they were going to sack the Capitol, but I knew there was going to be violence. In fact, I warned [House Minority Leader] Kevin McCarthy two days prior to it. And he was very dismissive of it, of course. But I asked my staff to stay home. I came in, it was kind of a normal morning. I was watching Trump’s speech and it was crazy, like usual. I remember seeing [Donald Trump] Jr. say, “This is now Trump’s party.” And I’m like, well that’s creepy. And then Trump says, “I’m going to go with you to the Capitol.” I’m like, “Man, this is bad.” So I went down for the opening of the certification. And then I left, pretty much when the proceedings started, and then spent basically the next six hours in my office, hunkered down, with my gun out, prepared to defend against my own party. Were you ever genuinely scared? Yeah. I’d say maybe it’s around 2:30 p.m., and there was a moment where I was like, “Man, there’s a real sense of evil.” I can’t explain it any further than that. And I’m not one of these guys that feels evil a lot. But I just felt a real darkness, like a thick, bad feeling. And there was about a 15- to 30-minute time frame, where, at one point, you realize they’ve breached the Capitol. I know if they can breach those outer lines, they can get anywhere, including my office. And I had been targeted on Twitter that day and prior, like, “Hangman’s noose. We’re coming for you.” And people know where my office is. So I barricaded myself in here, thinking, “If this is as bad as it seems, they may end up at my office, breaking this crap down, and I may have to do what I can.” So, you contemplated having to discharge your firearm on American citizens? Yeah, I thought about it. If you’re already at a point where you’re beating down police officers, and you’re willing to sack the U.S. Capitol, which hadn’t been done in hundreds of years, if you come face-to-face with Chief RINO in his office, who doesn’t believe that Donald Trump won reelection, yeah, they’re going to try to fight and kill me, and I’m not going to let that happen. Trump supporters clash with police and security forces as people try to storm the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6 Joseph Prezioso/AFP/Getty Images Do people like Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) genuinely believe what they’re saying, whether it’s that the election was stolen or the insurrection was just a protest, etc.? I think nobody believes what they’re saying, with few exceptions. There’s been a belief now that the ends justify the means, so we’ll say whatever to get power, and the power will be the victory. Well, in self-governing, when you self-govern, the ends can’t justify the means because you break real, basic trust. You and I can hate each other, but we have to agree that our vote counts. Will there be a price to pay for Republicans who enabled him? I think in the short term, there will be no price they will have to pay. I think in the short term, stoking division, using the fear and darkness, will win the midterms in 2022. In the long term, this will destroy the GOP. Or it will destroy the country, because this is an unsustainable path. And the problem is, when you have a two-year election cycle, and you look at all these “treasures” we’re going to gain if we gain the majority, it’s easy to put the moral reasons for not doing certain things aside. I mean, when the NRCC puts out a test message to its current donors that opens with, “You are a traitor!” you realize we have scraped the bottom of the barrel to fundraise. And it works, unfortunately. There were a lot of warning signs over the course of Trump’s administration that he’d try to dismantle democratic institutions if they became inconvenient. Did Republicans — including you — ignore some of those signs? I think so. At the beginning of the Trump administration, he put really good people around him. They gave us a little hope that a lot of it was an act, that these people would keep him on the right path. And then he started to pare them off for loyalty. I think the big thing was, obviously, in the first impeachment with Ukraine — I want to be clear — If I went back in time, I would vote for the first impeachment. That is a regret I have, that I didn’t. But I want to be clear on that. It was at the end of the year, and the Democrats had made the decision they had to rush this through and vote for impeachment. We were wanting witnesses. I mean, I actually went into that with an open mind. If they proved [it], I will vote for impeachment. When they started rushing it, you can say that gave me an excuse, or it gave me a legitimate reason. When did you realize Trump was dangerous? Leading up to those moments, when I started to see the president wink and nod towards this QAnon stuff. When you start to see — he had retweeted some pastor about an impending “civil war in America.” For s***’s sake, you can’t do that. You’re the president of the United States. If you’re in the middle of a civil war, you shouldn’t be tweeting about a civil war. That’s the kind of stuff, when I look back on it, I’m like, I thought he was a really selfish, self-centered dude, but there were a lot of real destructive tendencies there. Your wife worked in the administration, for Vice President Pence, until the last year, when she moved to the Department of Homeland Security. So, you’re in Congress, standing up to Trump, and she’s working for him. What was that like? I’m convinced that there was retribution against her, to an extent, because of me. There were awkward moments, but it is a lot easier that she worked for Mike Pence than Donald Trump, because while I have massive disagreements with what Pence did, with the exception of Jan. 6, he’s a decent human being. I want to ask about a couple things in the news right now. The first is what happened in those state elections in Virginia and New Jersey. I think [Democrats] are kind of chasing the wrong thing at the moment. I think this idea that Glenn Youngkin won [Virginia governor] because the Democrats didn’t pass a giant spending bill is probably not very accurate. I think they’re not hearing the voices of the heartland, the people that are disaffected that used to vote for them. What about the passing of the bipartisan infrastructure bill this week? I support the legislation passed by the Senate … and voted for its passage. [It] contains significant investments for roads, bridges, rails, seaports, airports, and inland waterways — core infrastructure most Americans agree are in need of improvement. And paid family leave? You’re going to be a new dad soon. I’m supportive of it. I never understood the importance of paternity leave until I saw a lot of my friends start having kids. The devil’s in the details. How do we get to an actual agreement? Or is this just going to be a political weapon? We need to rethink how we do things in this country, in terms of encouraging families, encouraging togetherness. People feel so disconnected. What about the Republicans who came out against Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for spending time at home with his adopted, prematurely born twins? I highly doubt that the secretary was totally disconnected from work. Although he probably could have been and should have been. But he has deputies, I’m sure he was in touch. And [Fox News host] Tucker Carlson took nothing but a cheap shot at him because it was a temporary hit of Pixy Stix or a shot of heroin, it makes people feel great, they stay on. The rage works. And he created rage. Talking about Pete Buttigieg learning how to breastfeed — like, c’mon man. You’re obviously ignorant. Which I don’t think. I think Tucker’s really smart. You’re a manipulative son of a bitch who abuses your viewers for your own personal profit. Lastly, will you run for office again? I’m looking at governor and senator in Illinois. That’ll be a decision I’ll make by January. And I’m not ruling out anything in 2024, either. It’s not what I’m pursuing. But I also recognize that I have a fire that, while it’s a little quenched here in the House, it’s actually much more ignited for the broader fight. I know that sounds cheesy, but it’s the only way I can describe that feeling, which is, going out there, telling the truth, throwing the system under the bus, showing people how the system can work, but has to be reinvented. That’s where I find my fire. Newswire

saturdaydownsouth.com Bryan Harsin explains how Bo Nix can bounce back from Saturday’s loss Keith Farner | 15 hours ago 1 minute Bryan Harsin understands that Auburn’s offense has some improvements to make ahead of Auburn’s game with Mississippi State this week. Harsin spoke to the media on Monday, and shared how QB Bo Nix can bounce back from a performance where he was 20-for-41 passing for 153 yards and an interception. He also discussed Auburn’s recent offensive drought since scoring 28 points in the first half against Ole Miss, and how to climb out of it. “Bo, he’s capable of it,” Harsin said. “He didn’t have his best game obviously. There’s things and reasons why. It’s not always on that one particular position. We know we have to correct … One, is we’ve got to score touchdowns. Six quarters with no touchdowns, I mean, that’s pretty tough … We need to have better plays, we need to have better play-calls.” H/T Jordan Hill.

The two teams met in 2020 during the league’s altered 10-game, SEC-only schedule thanks to the pandemic, and the matchup was the added cross-division game for each school. South Carolina won that game, 30-22. Auburn leads the all-time series with South Carolina, 10-2-1.

247sports.com Harsin: Being 'better' the goal for Bo Nix and entire Auburn offense ByJason Caldwell 4-5 minutes 2 Minute Drill: Auburn's offense falls flat at Texas A&M AUBURN, Alabama—Coming off of back-to-back strong performances throwing the football, Bo Nix and the Auburn offense had a rough outing against Texas A&M last Saturday in a 20-3 loss to the Aggies. Going six straight quarters without a touchdown, dating back to the second half against Ole Miss two games ago, Auburn’s offense has plenty of issues to go around and it doesn’t stop and end with quarterback play, Coach Bryan Harsin said. “He didn't have his best game, obviously,” Harsin said of his junior quarterback. “There were things and reasons why. yYou know, it's not always just on that one particular position and I've said that before. I think the quarterback gets way too much credit and way too much blame, and I still believe that. “It's a matter of going back and making sure that, one, he's playing better. Two, the guys around him are playing better and we have a better plan and we execute those things more consistently throughout the week of practice so come game time we're able to execute it when the game is going fast. And you're playing against a good team, which A&M's a good team and I don't want to take anything away from who they are. Their defense is very good, and those guys play fast. But we can play fast, too. You've got to be able to do that through four quarters.” Completing just 20-41 passes for 153 yards with no touchdowns and one interception along with a costly fumble, Nix was unable to make anything happen in the passing game against an Aggie defense that was physical at every level. Harsin said the deficiencies on offense against Texas A&M rest on everyone’s shoulders. “We also had some clean pockets, chances to throw it, and then opportunities in there as well where we could’ve picked some blitzes up and we didn’t pick them up,” Harsin said. “That’s the thing that’s a little misleading for a quarterback is when you get somebody right in your face, and the O-line’s supposed to slow them down and it looks like you’re just running out of there. Well, the guys up front need to do their job, too. There was enough of that so all the way around on the offensive side, it’s not any one player in particular, it’s everybody, execution, the whole plan of just making sure that we’re going to be better at those things moving forward.” Preparing to face a Mississippi State defense that is one of the best in the country at stopping the run, giving up just 102 yards per game, Auburn’s offense is going to need to make plays down the field to beat the Bulldogs. Harsin said that’s not a focus just when the team rolls into Jordan-Hare Stadium, but it begins on the practice field this week. “The players on that side of the ball, the coaching staff, it’s pretty obvious that we need to score touchdowns in order to win games and at the end of the day we haven’t done that well enough,” Harsin said. “We have another opportunity this week to go work on that and create that. Those things have to happen every single day for us. What I know about our team and our offense in particular is it doesn’t just happen on Saturday. That’s what I know. If it’s emphasized every day, if it’s focused every day, if it’s executed every day then we’ll have a lot better opportunity to not be at the very bottom and not scoring points on the offensive side.” 2COMMENTS Kickoff for Saturday’s game is scheduled for 11 a.m. CST with television coverage on ESPN. *** Subscribe: Receive the latest Auburn intel and scoops*** ">247Sports

247sports.com Nix on mistakes at Texas A&M: 'I shouldn't make those kinds of plays' ByNathan King 4-5 minutes Takeaways From CFB Week Ten (Late Kick Cut) Bo Nix has now faced two of the nation’s best defenses in his last four games. And things were better for the Auburn quarterback against the No. 1 team in the country than they were over the weekend in College Station. After scoring eight touchdowns in its past two games — both ranked wins over Arkansas and Ole Miss — Auburn’s offense displayed massive flaws across the board in a 20-3 loss at Texas A&M. Nix went 20-of-41 with 153 yards (a paltry 3.7 yards per attempt) with two turnovers, including a fumble that was scooped and scored by Texas A&M in the fourth quarter for the game’s only touchdown. The protection was porous, Nix looked uncomfortable and his receiving corps didn’t create separation, as the junior QB’s longest completion of the evening went for 15 yards. Of his 41 passes, only five were caught by an Auburn wide receiver. “They did a good job schematically,” Nix said Monday of Texas A&M’s defense on The Next Round radio program in Birmingham. “I think coming off an off week, they did a good job scheming some things up for us. … We had a hard time getting things going and getting in a rhythm, and it’s all a credit to them.” Nix said the aforementioned scheme from Aggies defensive coordinator Mike Elko was the biggest similarity from Auburn’s matchup earlier in the season with Georgia, which boasts the nation’s best defense. “They can kind of make an offense confused just by what they’re doing on third downs and the coverages and blitzes that they bring,” Nix said. “Similar players talent-wise, and then they do a good job; they suffocate you a little bit and do a lot of guessing.” In a 34-10 home loss to Georgia at the beginning of October, Nix went 21-of-37 for 217 yards and an interception, but his receivers dropped six passes in the game, and his offense wasn’t kept out of the end zone. According to Pro Football Focus, Nix’s overall grade from the Texas A&M loss (44.3) is the worst of his career. When facing pressure against the Aggies, Nix’s passing grade of 26.9 was the third-worst in all of the FBS in Week 10, ahead of only Middle Tennessee State’s Nick Vattiato and Rice’s Jake Constantine. Nix found himself in a funk after his fumble for a touchdown. He completed only five of his final 15 passes of the game and threw a pick. “An experienced quarterback like myself, I shouldn't make those kinds of plays,” Nix said of his unforced fumble. “I should just tuck it and take the loss and live to play another down. That’s completely on me; it should have never happened.” Auburn continually failed to find a “spark” in the passing game, as Bryan Harsin put it postgame, but the head coach said he did not consider benching Nix for T.J. Finley, like he did in Week 4 in the fourth quarter against Georgia State. “I felt like Bo could get us back in the game, that we could get that spark,” Harsin said. “That’s something that he’s shown and that we’ve done throughout the season, we just didn’t get it.” Auburn has now gone its last six quarters without an offensive touchdown. In 18 drives since their most recent trip to the end zone right before halftime against Ole Miss, the Tigers have scored 6 points, punted nine times, missed two field goals and turned the ball over three times. “All of the offense — we all can do better, starting with myself, and then going along down the line,” Nix said. “We have to do a better job being consistent in all aspects of the game — rushing and throwing, then sprinkling in some creativity in there. We’ve just got to play better. We’ve shown it in the past few weeks; we’ve played well. We’ve just go to do better moving forward.” 44COMMENTS *** Subscribe to Auburn Undercover for the latest news and intel, podcasts, recruiting coverage and more ***

Texas A&M takes down Auburn at Kyle Field for the first time 11/6/2021, 7:35pm 5-6 minutes COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Early in the fourth quarter, Bo Nix was lying face-down in the grass. Aggieland was erupting in cheer, white towels were waving in the air and Texas A&M had just scored a touchdown. Nix had fumbled on a second-and-10, Texas A&M picked up the loose ball and ran it back 24 yards for the scoop-and-score. It was the only touchdown scored by either team in the lowest-scoring game between Auburn and Texas A&M since 1911. The winning streak is over. Auburn saw its unbeaten record at Kyle Field slip away and its SEC Championship hopes fade as the Tigers lost 20-3 to the Aggies on Saturday. "We didn’t play well enough to win today," said Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin. "A&M was a good team. There’s things we have to go back and focus on. Same things that we talk about every single week; it doesn’t change. It’s a matter of doing those things consistently week in and week out." Auburn’s defense carried over from the Ole Miss game, but Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies took the points when inside Auburn territory. No fourth-down stops in the red zone for Auburn this time, just Texas A&M field goals. Texas A&M’s Seth Small made four field goals in five attempts, the only points the Aggies scored from offensive possessions. Meanwhile, the three points that Auburn scored was the lowest number of points since 2012 when Alabama shut out the Tigers 49-0. It was a career day for Oscar Chapman, who had a career-high seven punts in the game. That says it all for Auburn, which totaled 226 yards of total offense, a season-low. "I just don’t think we found that play, that momentum, that spark to really get us—on the offensive side in particular—to get us going," Harsin said. "And we had our opportunities, and you know, there was plenty of self-inflicted wounds that we had in there: dropped passes, we lost the ball -- we fumbled it." Nix completed less than 50% of his passes for the sixth time in his career for 153 yards, no touchdowns and an interception. The junior quarterback has not fared well against Texas A&M in his career and it continued on Saturday. Texas A&M is the only team in the SEC west that Nix has not had a 200-yard passing game against. Throughout his career, Nix has totaled just 397 yards passing and one touchdown pass against the Aggies in three games. As far as considering to put back up quarterback TJ Finley in, Harsin mentioned that other factors, like receiver separation and opportunities for a throw, played a role in Nix's performance. "I felt like Bo could get us back in the game, that we could get that spark," Harsin said. "That’s something that he’s shown and that we’ve done throughout the season, we just didn’t get it." While the offense struggled, the defense held its ground. Dating back to last week against Ole Miss, Derek Mason’s defense has not allowed a touchdown in six quarters. Similar to the LSU game, Auburn’s defense struggled to contain its opponent's offense on their opening possession. The Aggies drove 80 yards in 14 plays, chewing up over five minutes of clock before settling for a field goal to go up 3-0. Auburn answered with a field goal on its ensuing possession, the only time the Tigers scored. After the 80-yard opening possession by Texas A&M, Auburn's defense forced a pair of three-and-outs and held the Aggies to 70 total yards for the remainder of the half. The game was deadlocked at three by the midway point, the first 3-3 tie at halftime for Auburn since 1997. Texas A&M regained the lead late in the third when Small hit his second field goal of the night to put the Aggies in front 6-3. The field goal was the lone source of points in the third quarter, setting up a potentially-close finish in the fourth quarter. That was not the case, as offensive woes for Auburn only got worse in the fourth. The fumble recovery for a touchdown with 13:13 remaining extended Texas A&M’s lead from 9-3 to 17-3 after the Aggies converted the two-point conversion. With the rate of offensive production low, the gap between Auburn and the lead, while still only two-possession, was a far reach. Auburn only had 52 yards of offense and two turnovers in the final 15 minutes of play. "It comes down to some execution," Harsin said. "It comes down to creating some momentum. We didn't create that momentum to really get us going and to get the drive going the way we need to and having those type of plays we had in the past." Now with two losses in conference play, Auburn no longer holds the cards in the SEC West. Instead, Texas A&M will have to lose at least one conference game, either to Ole Miss or LSU, for Auburn to have a chance at Atlanta. The Tigers will return home to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Nov. 13 to face Mississippi State at 11 a.m. CST. That game will be broadcast on ESPN.

Three defining plays in Auburn’s 20-3 loss at Texas A&M By Nubyjas Wilborn | nwilborn@al.com 4-6 minutes Losing a game by 17 points when your defense doesn’t allow a touchdown is incomprehensible. Yet, Auburn (6-3, 3-2) managed to accomplish this dubious feat in Saturday’s 20-3 loss against Texas A&M (7-2, 4-2) on the road at Kyle Field. Bo Nix had one of his worst statistical performances of the season, with 153 passing yards and 20 completions on 41 attempts. He threw a late interception, but the game was pretty much academic at that point. Nix threw it 41 times, which is telling considering he had fewer than 30 attempts per game in wins against Ole Miss and Arkansas. Nix had to throw it more often partly because the running game was non-existent. Tank Bigsby led the Tigers with 69 yards on 15 attempts. Jarquez Hunter had one of Auburn’s few big plays with a 14-yard run, but he had one yard combined on his other three attempts. By Comparison, Isiah Spiller (112) and Devon Achane (98) each had more yards as individuals than the Tigers (73) combined on the ground. Read more Auburn football: Instant analysis: Auburn sputters in 20-3 loss to Texas A&M Auburn has worst offensive performance in years in loss to Aggies Bryan Harsin didn’t consider another second-half quarterback change in loss to Texas A&M - al.com “You’ve got to be able to run the ball. The run game allows us to be able to set up the passing game and give ourselves a chance to have a clean pocket as well,” Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin said Saturday after the game. “We’ve been able to do that in the previous games. That didn’t happen tonight. We didn’t have that same type of momentum in the run game.” Let’s take a look at three defining plays in Auburn’s loss against the Aggies. 3rd quarter 9:32 2nd-and-9 ball on A&M’s 16: John Samuel Shenker caught a 13-yard pass from Nix two plays earlier. Shenker’s catch was one of the Tigers’ few offensive plays over 10 yards. The game tied at three, any score here could’ve swung the game toward Auburn. Instead, Nix threw an incompletion second down. Tyreek Chappel fought through the Tiger offensive line to rush Nix on his pass attempt. Nix threw another incomplete pass on third down, creating a field goal attempt. Carlson missed the field goal. Texas A&M scored on its ensuing drive. 4th Quarter 14:13 2nd-and-10 ball on Auburn’s 35: The Tigers were down by six despite not scoring a touchdown and an earlier missed Anders Carlson field goal. Nix dropped back for a pass, and Aggie defensive lineman Michael Clemons met him in the backfield. Getting chased by a 6-foot-5, 270-pound man with evil intentions isn’t fun. Nix dropped the ball as Clemons was attempting to tackle him. Clemons got credited with a sack, but more importantly, his teammate Jayden Peevy scooped the ball up for a 24-yard touchdown run. The Aggies also converted a two-point conversion, effectively closing the door on Auburn’s hopes. “We put the ball on the ground, and A&M’s defense was able to score, and that becomes a factor in the game,” Harsin said. “And then, we miss a field goal in the red zone as well, and every point -- all points matter in games like this. So, you know, it comes down to some execution. It comes down to creating some momentum. We didn’t create that momentum to get us going and to get the drive going the way we need to and having those type of plays we had in the past.” This play was emblematic of Auburn’s woes during the loss. Pass protection broke down, leaving Nix in a dreadful situation. 4th Quarter 6:57 4th-and-14 ball on Auburn’s 34: Down by 14, the Tigers had to go for it. Shenker caught a ball from Nix and ended up one yard shy of the first down. The Tigers would’ve had to score quickly and get an onsides kick likely to tie the game. However, there was still an opportunity if Shenker could’ve found that one more yard. “We had some drives there that could’ve been touchdowns easily if we just executed a few little things. I mean, they’re a great team; they had a great plan against us, so sometimes you have those days. You hope that when you have these slow days, you can fight through it and scratch off some more points than we did, but that was the outcome today, and they’re still a great team, so you have to give them credit for that.” Nubyjas Wilborn covers Auburn for Alabama Media Group.
