I give Mullen credit for doing what was working. Thought we might see Lee and Williams but maybe next time. Winning is tougher than it looks, and we did it. Next week, the recipe might be different.

play. We didn't exactly line up and whip their asses. Matter o' fact, from the half way point of the 2 qtr til the end of the game, it was a very evenly played game. Had they not missed some chances early on, this could've been a different outcome. This wasn't the kinda outcome that gives me the warm and fuzzies about this team.
And had we not missed some early chances against lsu, we would be top 15 in the country tomorrow. Geez, expecting us to go to auburn and humiliate this is ridiculous. Every SEC win gives me a good feeling.Quote:

Can we please just enjoy the win, we got a sec win on the road. Listing to these post sounds like the old dan a dud hire hud and we won, i say it again we won.Quote:

No. All I said was that it wasn't the Dan Mullen offense I know and that we at that point in the game had a 75/25 pass run play distribution.Quote:

Our fans suck donkey dick. Before the game we were worried about losing. After we win it wasn't good enough. We are a damn good football team. Support this team. Jesus ****ing Christ
a collegiate snap and were without several defensive starters, one of which was their best DL, and we struggle. Granted, I'll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day but for those acting like this was some HUGE win I disagree. We should've won the game and we did. It just wasn't a great performance by us IMO but what do I know? Matter of fact, we were outgained by that putrid Auburn offense to the tune of 327 to 389. Think about that for a minute.
We are 3-1. Bitch about something else. An ugly win is a win.
No shit, we just won at Auburn...we pass because teams key the QB run. Be happy we have the personal to counterQuote:

Yeah, but we did go conservative late to run clock, played prevent, then took 3 knees to end the game. Still, I concede the overall point.Quote:

Gotcha. And I agree with you. Too much sky is falling. I'm not overly happy with how we played and we've got some stuff to work on, but I think the important thing is I'm happy period because we won. We are 3-1 heading into College Station with a shot to put ourselves back in the national picture.Quote:

The run game is far easier to improve upon than developing pass protection and a passing game as the season progresses We won for the first time in Jordan Hare in 8 years. We won and we have still have a ton of room to improve, we are a work in progress and we will improve. We will win some games by running the ball this year when it is necessary to do so.
I have read these threads on different boards for several years now and seen the same folks who are now complaining about our heavy pass lean, complained to no end in the past that we do not open it up enough and try to run it up the middle too much. We ran it up the middle against Auburn at the right times and picked up some crucial first downs ( thank you Brandon Holloway ). We didn't necessarily score on those drives but we shortened the game, maintained field position and kept the ball away from Aubie when it seemed like they were on the verge of seizing the momentum. We won the game by means that were necessary and saved a lot of wear and tear on Dak in the process.
As the season progresses and D Lee, the A-Train and M Dear learn their playbook a little better and develop the non-running aspects of their skill set we will see a better running game and will become better balanced and become a monster offense. Also some of the more physically talented young O-line will get more and more playing time and will start opening some holes for the running game. I like how it is setting up.
