woodford 3,688 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Did the INT's turn into points or were returned for big gains? If so, meh. If you throw the ball you run the risk of throwing an INT. I know they matter, but the stat can be misleading sometimes. I'm fine with Bo throwing picks if he's trying to work on things. That comes with the territory. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUwent 3,784 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I know this is unlikely but hopefully Tank doesn't transfer or pull a Micah Parsons after this year for OL reasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will work better for them than whatever it is we are doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W.E.D 11,070 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 So, if true I wonder if any players will look at this like a learning opportunity. We have Hunter, who has been hyped all offseason, missing the 1st extremely critical scrimmage and depending on timing possibly the 2nd. On the flip side. The other freshman RB and walk on have good scrimmages and starting to get some hype as the 3rd back. You want an opportunity to perform or miss crucial time?

Win4AU 4,056 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 It’s the first week of school I believe. You could have multiple issues in the next week but I’d imagine those will fade quick. Good thing Auburn isn’t starting with a kickoff classic or something like that. I bet a bunch of schools have players Miss practice or games. Even if you’re vaxed you can still get sick and have to isolate. Hopefully our guys do a good job again this year of being responsible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the entire team in a bubble last year, no one else in campus?? This year is a drastically different ball game. I think you're correct that a lot of schools will have kids miss time.

I'd hope the surging numbers across the foot print most of our players are from might help drive vaccine adoption on the team. Hope we've drastically improved from 60%. I'll be interested to see the difference between Arkansas/Ole Miss at 100% vs us at ~60% and how thar effects player participation. We'll be tested weekly, maybe 2x, while they only get tested with symptoms. Huge difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle 9,064 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Anyone know what the protocol is for vaccinated players who have been exposed? Assume no quarantine so long as they aren't exhibiting symptoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, if we were 100% or over the 85% threshold I'm pretty positive Auburn would be promoting it. The fact we aren't tells us where we are. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
