The magic number for Ms St is 400 yards of offense. We are 9-0 under Moorhead with that. We need a 200-250 passing day and a 200plus rushing day.
Auburn defense:
- Oregon.. 332 total yards.
Oregon is not setting the world on fire in the run game. They had 90
- Tulane. 200 plus yards
They allowed Tulane 120
- Kent St did not look
- TAMU---- 392 yards
only 56 on the ground, but remember this... their beast/stud RB is out for the season. And even then, he wasn't producing much.
Looking at Nix's stats last night he's not much of a passer. Most of AU's yardage was rushing.
Which is why you play all our people.Quote:

Seriously, they would've been more accurate in doing so.
Shrader is without a doubt in my mind better than Nix. He's bigger, more athletic, equal speed, and more accurate.
He just doesn't have Patrick Nix as his diddy. Tool wise, he's better.
The more I watch Ole Miss, Tenn and Arkansas I am starting to agree. We don't need them to win those three games.Quote:

We're currently 12th in the sec in avg yards/rush given up. Only Kentucky and vandy are worseQuote:

Auburn will run at will on our DL. Think 10 to 18 ypc. We can't handle it at this juncture. We is innocuous, immaculate with our tackling.
Agree with that. Typical Auburn, our QB gonna win the Heisman BS. Will Shrader be freshmen of the week?Quote:

They could be the best tackling team in America right now.
That being said, Kylin will be BY FAR the best running back they've see thus far
that included the 3 wins this season and the 1 loss was below 400.Quote:

I?m not sure how we can fix it, but it seems like our defenders are allowing one OLineman to block our DL and a backer on most of those gashing plays. The LBs are putting themselves in bad positions to allow themselves to get blocked/slowed down by an offensive guy already engaged with someone else. Maybe it?s experience and lack of it but the big gashes, we seem to be way out of position.Quote:

You win against LSU, you hold them for Bama and run a risk you can pull out a win at Kyle Field. You lose, and just hold them til OM and curb stomp the Bears. This Saturday will define whether we're a 7-5 team or we can make a run at things. I'm still not sold on Moorhead as a coach, but I'm damn sure sold on his recruiting abilities after watching Shrader for 2.5 games. This kid is going to be special.
We often don't pursue the ball carrier. We wait until he's in our space before attempting to hem him up, giving up unnecessary yards.
You have to play them all against ole miss though. It?s ole miss. It?s the last game of the season. It?s at home. Senior day. And if you can beat them 100-0, that?s what you do.Quote:

See my post just above. That is part of the reason.Quote:
