    The whole offense looks bad. Auburn fans will be extremely unhappy if they lose with their offense looking this inept.

    Auburn easily could be the worst team in the west next year if they do not get a different QB in there.

    It?s between them and auburn , lsu will still be figuring stuff out when it?s time for us to play them.


    With ole miss we haven?t seen them run with their potential starter for next year .

    We are looking at it with auburn and have for a few games and we know tj finely is god awful

    I also think kiffin is a better coach than Harsin, but harsin has been crootin way better than freshwater so

    If I were Tank I would go ahead and transfer. Auburn isn't going to be appreciably better next year and if Finley isn't the answer at QB who out there is available that moves the needle for them?

    He announced he we going into the portal then took his name out. Lose this game and he might put it back in.

    They did. That's why he got fired. Bo Nix was the 3rd rated player in the state (96 overall) and the 2nd highest QB in the country. And Gus did zero to elevate him. And you look at what Leach was able to do with Will from year 1 and year 2 and see what Bo looked like from year 1 to year 2. And that's why Gus got canned.

    Also, Auburn finished Top 12 in recruiting each of the last 4 years and Top 10 twice during that time. So recruiting wasn't lacking either.

    Remember they pulled Nix early in the season. They saw what they had in Finley after 1 game and put Nix back in.

    I do not like the rule relative to the half assed give yourself up. If you are not clear you are giving yourself up it should not be a penalty.

    Gus was a lot like Mullen. For all of his reputation as an offensive guru, his recipe for winning was getting a mobile QB that could throw a long ball (e.g., Marshall or whatever his name was) and matching it with a stout defense. His strength on offense was being able to move the ball with a run heavy spread and being able to get by with a less than stellar QB. Auburn needed to put more money into recruiting defensive players and let Gus do more with less on offense, rather than doing the same with more.
