Broken record time. 2nd down 1 yard to go and 4th down 1 yard to go, what do we do? Snap the ball 5 yards deep, hand off to the rb with no forward momentum. Results: no gain and 2 yard loss.  When are we going to learn to go under center and hand to our biggest back? I think never.😫

Totally agree. How do you not just man up and get 1 yard?  Gus is dressed like Coach Dye, but those play calls were something Coach wouldn’t stand. 
I hope those lost points aren’t the difference. Until this last defensive stand, this game had the feeling that we were going to have to come away with points on every drive.

What is going on with Cole, today? First he was laying on the ground and reporting, now he's eating and talking about chicken fried bacon.

Respect. I prefer going for it. the stats show that super short yardage situations are converted at a high rate by offenses across football. I personally prefer the aggressive Gus as opposed to the scared Gus even if we leave points on the field early. We just didn't get it this time

That's not fear. It's being smart about taking the better opportunity to get points on the board in a close game.

Ugh bad 3 and out there. 

[Maverick.AU 13,281]

Just cut up and go Bo. Dang

[tgrogan21 6,198]

Bo thinking he gonna juke players or something. Just run north/south and you might have gotten the first.

[Zeek 16,660]

Where did our good pass plays go? Can't afford 3 and outs.

Yeah, it’s weird.

Geez what the heck was that

Each play looked like we were moving in slow motion. 

[Randman5000 4,238]

7-5. 

[AUpreacherman22 3,904]

We are REALLY struggling on both sides of the ball right now!  Typical playing a very quality opponent week 1.

I think he is just excited to be on an SEC sideline...especially Auburn's sideline...during 2020! We were all laying around and eating bacon 5 months ago 🙂

After the really good TD drive we've not looked the same since. Guess the scripted plays are over.

[WarEagleHunter1221 1,690]

Remember when we didn’t have to care about 3rd and less than 5 because those were automatic first downs in 2013-2014? I miss that. 

[Swamp Eagle 5,165]

I like the scheme on O, but the execution is less than inspiring.  
 

The D? Well, we’ll see...

[DAG 34,086]

If we are looking as sloppy as everyone is saying and we are up by 1 then to me I have nothing but encouragement.

Defense is actually, knock on wood, settling in. Offense is being too cute.

Let’s not exaggerate. We looked good on the last several drives offensively. The defense always starts slow, and makes adjustments. It seems like they have made the adjustments. 

[3rdgeneration 6,473]

Typical 2 quarter doldrums. 🙄

[WarEagleHunter1221 1,690]

Defense needed a better break. Don’t need to let them score and then get ball back after the break.

Defense is settling in and playing well. I think the offensive coordinator is doing a good job playing chess with him. 

Offense is okay but it looks like we're acting desperate for big plays instead of just getting the first down. 

[Maverick.AU 13,281]

Smoke just looks a little slow 

[AUGunsmith 666]

Holy smokes we have such a great pass rush. 

[ShocksMyBrain 9,401]

Oh look. Another converted 3rd down.
