Some Positives of Playing Auburn after UGA

[TimberBeast]

That's not "being cute", it's being smart. If a team with front 7 like Auburn, Bama or UGA stack the like and dare us to throw, guess what, that's we have to do. Once we loosen up the linebackers, that's when you start establishing the run and thus the play action.

If we come out with a run up the gut for no gain, a read option for 3 yards and then an incomplete pass... we are in for a long, long evening. Mullen needs to get Fitz in a rhythm early, bubble screens, slants and TE flat throws keep us in 2nd and short or 3rd and manageable.

The problem is once Mullen starts throwing the ball, he won't stop, results be damned.

A strong front 7 to shut down our run game is all it takes to beat us.

War Eagle wins 21-10.

Auburn can't execute UGA's defensive gameplan at the level UGA did. They showed Fitz his checkdown all night long and then closed on it as the ball arrived. They knew everything we were going to throw at them. We sort of blew our offensive was against LSU, which I'm ok with. Get a guaranteed win at home against a division team that we've traditionally struggled with knowing it may cost you a chance in the next two weeks.

I don't think people understand how good UGA's defense is. They're Bama good. They'll have more discipline issues and more breakdowns than Bama with them being this new to the scheme, but they were damn near flawless against us.

uGA kept us in the box like Saban has done for 8 years sans 2nd half in 2014. We need to compete for the edges. Kylin ran well to the edges vs UGA, tough running

Couldn't disagree more.

You loosen up LB's vertically. Trying to go to the flat early gets us killed in these big games against teams with speed.
