AUBURN IS A DEAD TEAM WALKING....

AUBURN FALLS TO 4-4 AND IT WILL BE WORSE...

FEEDING FRENZY BY LAND SHARKS

         The Gus bus has blown its engine. The Tires are flat, and the tank is empty. The Tigers just lost SEC game number 4 behind a combination of questionable coaching decisions and poor tackling, The Tigers, like it or not, are looking a losing record down the road unless they can beat Georgia, Texas A&M, or Alabama. The Auburn-Georgia game is now nothing more than determining which team gets to extend the misery of their season. Heavens forbid, that either of those teams actually go to a bowl game. I think that Gus Malzhan’s decision to try a 4th and l in their own territory, when no need existed,  is going to be remembered for a long time.  It’s always easy to look back at a decision and be 100% correct in your judgment. That call was as stupid as stupid can be. As we all know you can’t fix stupid.  Luckily, for Malzhan, Mark Richt decided to start a 3rd string quarterback.  And as that travesty unraveled you could hear the guillotine blade being sharpened in Athens. That might have been even more stupid. 

AUBURN’S DEFENSE IS REMARKABLY BAD…

             Auburn’s new defensive coordinator, Will Muschamp, watched his side of the ball give up a staggering 551 yards to Ole Miss.  An even worse number was 91.  That was the number of plays the Rebels ran against the swiss cheese Tiger defense. The Tiger offense had a huge day as well. The carved up the Land Shark defense for 414 yards but could only score one touchdown. That proved to be the difference. Ole Miss was able to score in the red zone and the Tiger’s were left red-faced inside the twenty by having to kick field goals. 

FOURTH QUARTER FIELD GOAL KILLS THE TIGERS…

              Late in the fourth quarter the Tigers had to settle for a field goal which cut the Rebel lead to 20-19. The Rebels then put together a scoring drive of their own to move the score to 27-19 and it was game over. The Tigers just lost their 4th SEC game this season and are looking at upcoming games with Texas A&M, Georgia, and Alabama. It’s hard to see the Tigers winning those games. They might beat Georgia, which has experienced a collapse of their own after losing to Bama and then Nick Chubb. What is happening in Lee County is almost unbelieved.  How can a team of such talented players perform so poorly?  It started with Jacksonville State and has progressed without much hope. Thank goodness for Kentucky if you are an Aubie fan.

FLORIDA READY TO CINCH THE EAST...

                In a year where many picked Auburn and Georgia to win their respective divisions, it has been Florida who has been turning heads. All the Gators have to do is to beat a struggling Vanderbilt team to clinch the East. All the talk surrounding the East was Tennessee, Georgia, and South Carolina. It appears to be the first-year Florida's head coach Jim McElwain will do what most media experts thought was impossible. The Gators are about to win the SEC West.
