Tech/Auburn Game Updates

So far I like it. I think they will be worn down on defense if we can keep having these long drives.

I'm not. We should be ahead in this game. We've had our chances.

Dawgs better come out fighting...they can't keep relying on those flags too much more...

At the half, ESPN Gametracker has our time of possession at 22:36 to Auburn's 11:11.

For the record, every one of those flags we benefited from in the first half was legitimate, EXCEPT for one. But at the same time, Auburn got a "homer" call too....when WE got flagged for roughing their passer. It was a totally bogus call, that should have been an "intentional grounding" call against Auburn. Auburn benefited tremendously from that call. There wasn't an Auburn receiver within 20 yds of that throwaway pass.

Bottom line: So far I'm okay with the officiating.

You are dead right on the penalties.

We get the ball first. We need to drive down the field again and put more points on the board. They could not sub because of hurry up and down the field passing. D-Linemen get tired running 20 yards down field in between plays and they do not have time to sub. It also keeps our D off the field.

Yep

One word for the defense - CONTAINMENT.

We are letting their RB's get to the edges. Allowed Auburn to get that last FG, but also happened several other times.

Your right, i thought they were discussing whether or not the football got to the LOS, then they get the roughing call, at worst should have been off setting penalties.

These two posts are related.

I just hope #5 gets back on the field for the 2nd half. Overall, I am ok w/ the 3 points. DD is reaming the team out but also letting them know that we are only 3 down.

I don't understand why we didn't get the benefit of that punt roll? The announcers said it was because the Auburn receiver called "fair catch".....but the ball hit the ground and rolled, so that wasn't right.

Exactly. Auburn's RB's are MUCH faster than our guys going around the outside. Our DE's & LB's have got to stop them on the corners, or they'll kill us.

The only thing that keeps Jenkins from being a D is that he hasn't been losing games . . . he is at a C- right now.

And there is old school Tech football . . . Son of a bitch!!! Dooley isn't going anywhere this year.
