...I thought that was a pretty well coached game. Two very good defenses went toe to toe, with multiple decisions about strategy. It came down to one third down conversion that was a fraction of a second from being a sack or pbu.

The defenses and kicking games were excellent. Both offenses struggled, but that is what you get with rookie coordinators and rookie quarterbacks. The fumble was huge, but I'm not sure how you coach a guy to turn around and hand it to somebody else without putting it on the ground. All in all, I thought it was a good effort by a team that has not found it's offensive footing in a hostile environ against a very good team.


NOTE: I would like to reiterate how much I detest the new clock rules. Taking plays away from a game as good as this one is almost criminal.

I agree he was well prepared for this game as well as the defense,The offense is just struggling right now and we gotta do something soon or i don't see us making a bowl game.Hey if the go to the Chicken bowl in atlanta at least it is close.

How can you call leaving JC in there "good coaching"? That was one ugly second half with zero offense, no quarterbacks and we GAVE them the winning touchdown in the second quarter.

Chavis did nothing. My high school defense would have contained Auburn today. This was a phenomenally poorly coached game.

I feel sorry for anyone who has to coach Crompton. Crompton makes the QB coach look horrible.

Coaching was dumb again. Phil Fulmer has no guts. He wouldn't bench Crompton (Worst QB in UT history) I gaurantee guarantee that Jim Bob Cooter is a fifty times better QB.

WTB Les Miles as the head coach. At least he is gutsy and will bench a QB or go for it on 4th down.

With Crompton at QB we dont have a chance to win. He does not make any good decisions and he really cant throw that well and one more good lick on him and he will have a serious concussion. I want a QB that will look through his progressions and make a good play. The QB and The recievers were not anywhere close to being on the same page and I really would like to know who's fault that is????? But if I had to bet its Crompton.

Additionally, this new offensive system as an excuse is garbage. How did having a new offensive coordinator and new starting QB work out for LSU last season?

Good coaching? Taking one of your last 2 TO's AFTER an injury TO and Wilson was on the ground for 5 minutes is good coaching?

Leaving a functioning retard in at QB when he can't stick his thumb in his own ass is good coaching?

Southern Mississippi's freshman QB threw for 268 against the Auburn D, LSU's new QB threw for 220.

Roll another one, just like the other one, it must be some good stuff you're smoking.

The only good coaching I saw today was Peyton Manning holding up two fingers to let the guys know to go for two.

Defense did play well. We can't ask for anything more out of them. Just give another QB a chance and see if it helps. Please for the Love of God, give another a shot.

I agree I guarantee you Jim Bob Cooter or Bo Hardegree would do more than Crompton can do for us. I don't want to hear excuses about no seperation by the receivers. Ainge had no trouble throwing to them last season.

Im with you cotton the new clock rules are horrible. Thanks to the D for playing as well as they did we give up 6 points this week 70 yrds in the second half. I know Auburn isnt a juggernaut on O but the racked up a ton of yrds and points on LSU last week

I am as big a Fulmer basher as anybody, but let's be objective and fair. On the positive side, I feel like he had the team ready today, and everybody played well enough to win, EXCEPT one player.

On the negative side, I blame Fulmer for not at least trying somebody else. Even if it was Jones on every play, he would have given us a chance to win.

No matter how bad the otions are, Fulmer has to make a change after this game. He will completely lose this team if he starts Crompton again.

I am most ticked that Fulmer has allowed the program to deteriorate to the point that there are no viable QB options. If he truly had his finger on the pulse of this program, he would have seen this coming from a mile away and taken steps to prevent it.

Crompton did not get horrible overnight. I doubt he has ever shown anything. This is his fourth year in the program. What has he been doing?

Yes, that TO was fine. The clock would have started after the injury if there was no TO, burning 40 seconds then instead of after the next play.

As for Crompton, do you really think with the season and possibly some coaching jobs on the line, there would not have been a change if there were any other viable options? We tried the G-gun, Auburn adjusted, and were left with JC as the option against a very good defense on the road.

Coaching didn't lose this game. Their defense played our offense to a standstill late in the game, and defense, kicking, and--gasp--coaching decisions put us within a first down of winning, we just never converted it.

Hell I'd take Rick Clausen right now to manage this offense :no:

The final defensive play call that mattered at all was a complete abortion on the part of Chavis.

I'm serious, I would have fired him on the sideline for giving that QB room to throw the ball past the 1st down marker. He couldn't have beaten us over the top to save his freaking life and we gave cushion.

Those guys simply couldn't play. They wouldn't be doing any better at all. Crompton has already faced those guys and surpassed them both on the depth chart. UT would go to Gerald Jones as full time QB long before they'd consider putting in Bo or Jim Bob.

Possibly true. However, without reviewing my Tivo, I'm betting it was the same defense he ran that held Auburn without a 1st down in the 4th quarter until that point. If the DLineman is 1/2 a step faster, or the DB makes a better break, that play is stopped. They weren't, and it wasn't. I have a hard time blaming that on coaching.
