I am proud of EVERY Auburn player tonight! They played with so much heart and toughness.  Y’all rag on the OLine, but their bodies take the most pounding and they are held together with spit, chewing gum and rubber bands.  Austin Troxell is literally taped from his head to his toes.  Yes, they could have been better, but I feel like this entire team was giving it everything they had. Even poor old Bo, scooting around on his scooter, and Poor old Anders, on crutches, we’re doing everything they could to support their teammates.  

3rdG, can we make a game thread where we just get to talk to you? Always appreciate your positivity, and grounded attitude. We don’t deserve you around here.

Just run from the wildcat with Tank , hunter or shivers. We needed 2 yards on 3rd down to put the game away.. coaching lost this game period. 

Could have ran that solely after TJ got hurt and u win . Long as the clock is moving. The pick cost Auburn at least 2 minutes.

So at that point do u pass on 3rd?   If Tank stayed in the answer is heck no, but I think u have to get the 1st at that point

Line up Tank and Hunter together and find something creative.. a pass or run.. you needed two yards to win the iron bowl and the Coaches crapped the bed

On this board,I’ve never said anything bad about any Auburn players I’m not going to start now. 
We had plenty of chances to ice the game.

If the defense pushes or throws a player out I thought the clock still runs ?

Obviously Harsin is not going to give DD a chance.. therefore let Loy run an rpo .. we haven’t done anything up the muddle all night and yet we do it again... bama didn’t have to defend anything just clog the middle and stop the run.. 15 points the last 4 games in the 2nd half is inexcusable and should warrant someone losing their job.

After that personal foul hit on TJ Auburn went completely backwards. A few yards and a made field goal wins the game

The offense was not good all game.. felt like TJ was not doing good but he was good enough at the time.. I absolutely hate how BoBo called the game.. we return a punt down to the 25 and get no points.. TJ was fine right up to the point he was hurt and visibly limping .. at that point the OC and coaches just went in the toilet with no backup plan or any semblance of being competent

Tank is not at fault. The speed of the game on the field is immensely faster than the speed of sitting at home in your pajamas typing on a keyboard. Tank balled out and this is only a discussion because of Danielson making it a discussion. Proud of the fight from our Tigers tonight and the gameplan by the coaches. 

[tigerrules 517]

I can’t imagine how good tank would be with an oline that could create some running lanes. He literally has no chance most times they hand him the ball.

Of course he is at fault for that play.   It doesn’t diminish any other part of the game for him.  It wasn’t a good play on his part.   There were plenty of other plays that stunk just as well.   His just happened to be at the end.   

[tigerman1186 537]

Why would anyone question Tank???? He runs hard and has become a well-rounded back...also a 1,000 yard rusher...

Danielson is a GD fool, I cant stand him.  Our guys played their hearts out and that was a soul wrenching loss.  My thoughts and apppreciation goes out tonight.

[ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576]

Fwiw this offensive line is like one sophomore and all seniors for the most part.. So seasoned veterans.

 

Even if we got a ton of four and five stars in the pipeline for next year ... How boned are we as they still have to be developed? I know we have a 3 star guy coming in.. Color me concerned. 

[TigerFanAU 586]

Tank is the leader of this team. He didn’t make a mistake, he got tangled up after breaking free on one of his 29 carries.

 

Make no mistake, this is Tank’s team and he’s the leader of it. Call a better game Bobo.

[AUwent 3,833]

Kinda goes without saying but another important task for the staff over the next few months is keeping as many people on the team as possible (Tank, the DL).

Recruit from the inside first . This game paid dividends for the team in my opinion. 

[AUwent 3,833]

Glad we got a thousand yard rusher after three years without doing so, hoping he tacks on more in the bowl.

Why does it have to be disrespect when ppl are just pointing out he made a mistake??

He should have gone down. He was trying for the 1st, which was commendable. But I bet he'd probably say he should have gone down.

All of the above can be true while still loving him and praying he comes back next year 

Because it's crazy to blame Tank, like several on here are doing. We needed a first down to ice the game. At that point, it was clear Tank was the only one with a chance to do that. 

Without a first down, if he didn't go out of bounds, there's still a minute left. Probably enough time for Bama to score. 

It was a good run, under any other circumstances. He tried to go down. He knew what to do. But momentum and the Bama player carried him out of bounds. Just an unfortunate play. Not a mistake by Tank.

That's the worst part about it. That bammer idiot Gary kept saying it....and some Auburn fans fell for it.

Weird.   Heisman autocorrected to BBC.  Don't even know what that means.  

 

 

 

Sure you don't. 😉

In all seriousness, you might want to turn off that autocorrect. That $#!+ can be dangerous! Case in point. 🤣

Can't agree with that. His job is to talk about the game. This was a very important play in the game. He pointed out the outcome. I don't remember him criticizing Tank, like many Auburn fans are doing. 

[murpjf88 509]

I didn't realize it was disrespectful to call someone out for a boneheaded play. It literally happens to the best of them.

You are an absolute moron. Dude played for 5 quarters with all his heart, and never pouted as his impotent offensive line, passing game, and OC failed him time and time again. That man has had every reason to quit on Auburn for going on 2 years, and never has 

Yes, he could’ve gone down, but his heart drove him to think he could get the first. He got us 3rd and 2, which should imply an auto first down for most decent offenses in 2 tries. The down matters more than the clock there. If he squats down at say, 3rd and 5, statistics would say it’d be nearly impossible for us to get it with how abysmal we were throwing. 

No disrespect in pointing out a mistake.
