Popular Post WDE_OxPx_2010 5,335 Posted September 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2021 Classic trap game. Emotional let down after a big loss in a huge game vs an offense that you only see once a year. Combine that with the offensive struggles and the new zone defense scheme and this game should have been expected. Took guts to pick ourselves up and win the game. Take the W, move on to LSU. This is part of the growing pains we should have expected this year. War Eagle. 12 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabby 1,958 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 It's just not accurate. This is the same offense we always see whenever another team has a pulse on defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubiefifty 17,488 Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 i agree. new systems on both sides of the ball. new coaches to get used to. coaches has to build a relationship with a hundred plus players. and coach did pull a legacy and i bet it gets bo's attention. and lord please no more three man fronts. but we had the penn state hangover going and ga state played their behinds off. and we did not. i think they expected a gimme. got to give coach time. it is too early to pull the plug. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishepa 1,914 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 This reminded me of the Utah Sate game years ago. Probably will end up with the same coaching results years from now too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle-1 3,821 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) What no one is really talking about is how we could not effectively run the football on GA State. That's the most disappointing thing I saw today. I mean, eight man fronts, or not, we should be able to run the ball better on the likes of GA. State.

This team came out like they really had better things to do besides play a football game. That sh!t won’t get it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerPAC 993 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 We gotta get out the zone garbage on defense and coach up DL to get off blocks, play hard every play. Same ol song w OL. No push or movement....odd considering we ran on PSU. Too inconsistent. Tank seemed very frustrated today props to special teams 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dual-Threat Rigby 8,841 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Reeks of the 2017 Mercer game to me honestly. Fits exactly how OP described it, also homecoming, and I think the fanbase was equally as questioning on how bad the season could go after that I don’t have very high hopes based on a couple things, but I didn’t have high hopes then either lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAU 1,631 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I agree the positives were that they stuck in it, and the D improved in the second half. the thing that will give me nightmares is on the offensive side of the ball. GAST owned our O line, and our receivers still made some drops that shouldn’t have happened. The OL was my biggest concern at the start of the season, and I was lulled into a false sense of security after the first 2 games. I am more concerned now that I was preseason.

Randman5000 4,245 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Thanks.. We need alittle sanity after that. Happy for Finley. You could see the players rallying around him as well if you watch close. Everyone needs work..not just new coaches. This will take some time. This is a reminder. Looking forward to see how the coaches approach LSU and how we recruit the offense next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we were flat in the mercer game and looked like we were sleeping through it, but we led at every point. We were up 14 in the 3rd quarter, then they cut it to 7, then we stretched it back to 14 in the fourth and that was the final margin...it was never in doubt, and certainly not a suspenseful game even though played like crap. in this game we were 1 converted 4th and 9 from actually losing the game. Very different(even if we played like crap in both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenlee36 1,654 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yeah we could definitely swerve it that way but we have a new coaching staff it’s a little too early for that type of excuse, not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think between the disappointment of another close Clemson loss and how sleepy the Mercer game was, we were in a similar level of frustration as we are currently. Just different reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValleyTiger 2,894 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Well one thing is for certain: Harsin sent the message. Doesn't matter who you are or how long you've been the starter, if you're playing like ass and not inspiring the team, then you can sit. Love it. Let's see how Bo and TJ both respond going forward. We MUST be able to run the ball though going forward to be successful. Remember, Bo wasn't the only one that got sat with the game on the line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Auburn is only missing two starters and almost gets their a$$ beaten by a Georgia State program, doesn’t that really tell you all you need to know? The talent ain’t there, yet, and the margin for error the rest of the way is near zero. Not encouraging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
