The Orange Bowl vs Clemson would be fun, but I think fans should still make some noise if Bamas ranked above us.

Saban is ok with this…

 

[RiseToTheTop]

The veer and shoot, when executed properly, still hasn't been figured out. And Heupel seems to have better command of it than anyone since Art Briles.

I don't see how anyone is going to stop us once we have a full roster of Heupel's players and are no longer susceptible to games like last Saturday.

This!

And they still haven’t found a RB pass game or a true catch and run TE that’s a major threat. But when they do it’s gonna be even tougher to deal with

Looks like auburn hit a snag with the Freeze hiring. I wonder if:
A) the SEC stepped in and said "no"
B) majority of fans or influential boosters raised enough hell

Good.

Through 12 games, our offense finished:

No. 1 in total offense

No. 1 in total yards

No. 1 in yards per play

No. 1 in offensive TDs

No. 1 in yards per game

It's almost like the guy behind most of it should be the Heisman...hmmm

 

[SweetasSoda]

And yet we went 10-2. Which is my point, I’m not worried about what us fans think we need. Staff seems to have figured out how to win games with the guys in the locker room.

And defense gave up 23.5 ppg playing with an offense that scores at crazy speeds. That’s pretty dang good.

That’s really good, and only fans thinking with emotions would not think so.

Hopefully Pittsburgh jumps into the top 25 this week. 3 teams lost this week in the 20’s.

They are in the CFP in Narduzzi's mind because they have not actually lost any games.

 

[drvenner]

Does anyone else think Tillman comes back next year if he grades lower than a 3rd round pick?

I think the odds would have been a little better if he had not seen Hooker just have a torn ACL but I still wonder. This season was not good at all for his draft stock.

All kidding aside (prolly, anyway), I think there is no way he comes back.

 

[Devo182]

Impressive!

Here's an article with full offensive #s.

Where Josh Heupel's offense ranks nationally following regular-season finale

I think #1 in YPP is the most impressive thing. Not just going fast and filling up on volume, but being the most efficient team is amazing.

That’s really good, and only fans thinking with emotions would not think so.

To be fair, fans criticizing the defense are thinking mainly of the SCar game, and the defense deserves every ounce of criticism for that game. And as the leader of the defense, Tim Banks deserves criticism for that game. We've been up and down on defense all year. No real consistency. That should be scrutinized IMO.

Did you hear the announcers last night with their saying it’s the system? Said they just put Milton in and get the same results. In other words HH doesn’t deserve the Heisman.

Why does the Titans field look like poo?

Report: Luke Fickell's Deal With Wisconsin 'Done' | All Bearcats

This is one of the better hires the last 5 years if this happens.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

IF Auburn has backed away from Freeze, it has to be coming from the SEC office.




Which ultimately means Saban said no.

Bingo

 

[drvenner]

There is no way to know how his passing was affected by the weather conditions.

Thank you. I will never understand why people with absolutely no way of knowing say something about someone not being affected by something like it's God-given truth.

This is what many fail to realize. As fast as we score teams are going to pass on us and we are going to play lots of players. Defense will be on the field a lot. If we average 45 plus, but only give up 25, we are going to win a bunch of games. As we build depth on defense and get better players, we will start winning championships.

Wait until the Music City Bowl- awful host.

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

With Fickell leaving does Cincinnati pull the trigger on Hugh Freeze? He could do extremely well there.

 

[gordonr24]

Auburn fans trying to Schiano the Freeze hire. I guess they don’t want to win.

I know Freeze is a POS but this board wanted him two years ago before we hired Heupel, because we know he’s a solid coach and would have had UT winning.

There’s not a better proven coach out there that wants the Auburn job.

 

[drvenner]

LOL, why would Cincinnati think they are a better job than Wisconsin?

It was scrutinized. The team did not play well against a team that exceeded all expectations. Now, step back and look at the year with what players were available. The focus has to be on continuing to get better at all positions. It will take a few years to have that 98 defense.

So you’re hearing it’s the fans?

the last few yrs in Auburn suggest they are headed into the 15 yr abyss that we are just now getting out of. It’s bad there on many fronts.
