That was anything but an inspiring first half from Auburn. There really isn’t much to say but I tried to get a few thoughts out after the first 30 minutes as the Tigers lead 6-3 over Mississippi State.
- I’m just sick of watching this offensive line and its lack of ability to block. It is so frustrating watching this position not get any better year after year, no matter who the coach is. This happens when you ignore one of the most important positions in football in recruiting.
- Stating that, it isn’t Bo Nix’s fault that he doesn’t stay in the pocket although listening to Jordan Rodgers you would think so. I know Rodgers has seen an Auburn game this year so it shouldn’t surprise him.
- After watching this against a 2-6 team, is anyone really on the Gus Bus anymore? This is beyond embarrassing.
- Hey, you think Mississippi State knows Auburn likes to run the wide receiver screen?
- Has Seth Williams totally given up on the season? You have to wonder.
- Sigh. Sorry, I just needed to take a minute and take a deep breath.
- Having Auburn basketball and football on at the same time was not good for my heart or attention span. Let’s try and make sure that never happens again. Too much happening at once.
- Tank Bigsby looks back to full health. You have to ride him in the second half. Otherwise, this offense has no chance.
- The camera angle on Ladarius Tennison’s hit on Jo’Quavious Marks was so bad that I had no reason to believe it wasn’t targeting.
- Gus Malzahn coming out in the visor and sweater vest while also opting to go for it on 4th-and-1? Yeah, I think he knows how important this game is to his future, if there is any, at Auburn.
- In good news, Auburn basketball came away with an impressive victory over Memphis in Atlanta, 74-71. True freshman guard Justin Powell continues to be impressive.
