It was bad last night. If we would have done what we did against UF, we would have won. For instance, Nuke broke off a huge run to start the game and then Crompton throws it. Why not run run run when that close to the redzone???? Horrible decisions on that first drive after Nuke's run. Why not put Nuke in there more as well? Kiffin seems dead set and determined that Cromtpon will be the next Carson Palmer or something. Newsflash, Cromtpon will never be good and we need to stick to the run game.

Playcalling as much as Crompton, the receivers and special teams lost this game. We threw two times as many passes as many times as we passed it. BB had three carries for 15 yards. He also received no short passes despite being our best receiver.

Why is Chaney not calling plays??? Kiffin needs to put his ego aside. So far his plkaycalling has cost us this game, the UCLA game and almost the Ohio game. His best game by far was UF.

I agree.
There is no reason Crompton should be throwing 43 times.
Absolutely none.

Especially when our running game was averaging 6 yards a carry.

I believe there is a good rehab center near campus. In room 22B there is a meeting for ignorant fulmer fans. Meets everyday at 2:30. Enjoy

The OL we had agaisnt Florida is not the same one we're currently fielding. Additionally, the majority of those plays had open receivers. Crompton either threw a pass that would be a tough catch or a receiver just dropped a pass. Additionally, Hardesty is banged up.

No Fulmer fans here. Just people who realize Crompton throwing the ball two times more than Hardesty and BB running is atrocious. We are asking to lose. AU's run defense is far from elite.

You have very little intelligence if you think playcalling is our problem right now. Our problem is our quarterback and receivers. Period. How many times were we open and either threw it behind our receiver or dropped the pass? The problem I have with people like you is if we had gone down after the Nuke play and run it 3 straight times and still been forced to kick the field goal, you would be on here saying, "Kiffin has got to open up a little bit. We can't be so conservative." Bottom line, when people are wide open the whole game, it's not playcalling. It's execution. So, get a clue.

I like how the same people that criticized Kiffin for running the ball in the redzone against UCLA are now furious he let Crompton attempt any passes last night.

I was there and the way Auburn was overplaying the run you had to throw it. We'd have one good run then get stuffed. Auburn may not be a great defense but they're good enough that when they overplay something like the run they will make it difficult. CLK is trying to find some plays that this sorry bunch can actually run effectively.

The only gripes I have with play calling is not getting more balls to the TE.

There actually was a couple of swing passes to Bryce Brown but the D was over playing that as well. Until we can get something going in the medium and long throws it will be tough going with runs and shorter routes against good defenses.

So, when we have people wide open half the game, that is bad playcalling. What about that call where we had Stocker wide open in the back of the endzone and Crompton missed him by 10 yards? Bad playcall? What about the numerous crossing routes that were open? Bad playcall? What about the two wheel routes that were wide open and Hancock drops one and Crompton overthrows the other one? Bad play call? You are just the classic, ignorant Sunday Morning Quarterback that knows nothing about football.

You are a freakin retard. The receivers and QB are two of this team's biggest weaknesses. Kiffin's playcalling is playing to those weaknesses. Why not play to our team's strength...running the ball????????????????

Damn you are stupid. You say I have no intelligence and then you talk about how bad the receivers play and Crompton. Well guess what....Kiffin chose to give them all of those opportunities to screw the game up. Why play to our weakness so much? We will never win another game, except maybe Memphis, if Crompton throws it 43 times. Mark that down.

Auburn was playing the run. Our best run blocker was on the sideline with a knee injury. Montario appeared to be heading toward the light at a few points in the game. Our running game isn't as strong as it was earlier in the season.

I praised Kiffin for running it that much in the redzone against UCLA. Go look up my posts.

AU overplayed the run just like UF did and everyone else did. Bottom line is we didn't pound it enough. Of course Crompton and the receivers aren't going to execute!!!! When have they???????????

Unfortunately, when you have an offensive line comprised of two walk-ons and a converted TE, we couldn't be consistent running the ball every single play. You had to try to pass, and the passing plays that were called were the right plays because someone was open 75% of the time. Ok, I'll go real slow for you now. When someone is wide open and you can't complete the pass, playcalling is not the problem. You can't run the ball every damn play, and you definitely couldn't run the ball in the 4th when we're down 23-6. Also, you can't ever consistently run the ball against a 8 or 9 man front. So, again, yes, if you think playcalling was the main problem and not our qb's and wr's ineptness in executing good playcalls, then you are an idiot.

It would have been a blowout, if we didnlt let Crompton and the receivers determine the outcome of the game. We averaged 6 yards per carry and they overloaded the line all of those plays.

Dude, you can't throw down field with Crompton. It literally is forfeiting the game, yet we did so plenty. AU stacked the line EVERY play yet we averaged 6 yards per carry. If we keep pounding on the left side, Hardesty and Brown have a much better shot of tearing off a big one than Crompton does of completing a downfield pass.

No we didn't. The run game was not consistent. I'd say the majority of Hardesty's carries went for two yards. He managed to break a few tackles every now and then for big gains. But it wasn't like we were consistently getting push.

When your best QB is mentally retarded, it makes your playcalling look bad. You cant keep running the ball when they are loading the box to stop it. Crompton cant throw a five yard pass that is the problem.
