I watched last years game Friday and noticed some stuff
AU Offense
- Sammy Coates on Eddie Jackson was awful, we could not cover him. He is gone, and Marlon is better at Corner an Eddie is better at safety
- Duke Willaims mauled us, Cyrus could not cover him. He is gone, and Cyrus is better
- Ricarod, he had a decent game because of these two guys and we had a safety on him. Now he will have Cyrus or Marlon covering him.
- Nick Marshall. Say what you want but the guy wasn't a bad QB. He killed us running the ball, and we were slow at LB with Trey Depreist, Rueben is a huge upgrade.
- OL after we settled down we manhandled them, plus we are better up front and on the edges this year.
- We gave them 14 points off of turnovers, and they had a garbage " Moral TD" at the end. So in reality this score should have been 55-23 take away the turnovers.
AU Defense
- THEY COULD NOT STOP HENRY, we put him in at the end and he was unreal. 5 carries for 72 yards averaged 14.4, how the hell are they gonna stop him this year?
- They could not stop the run, we ran through them like S$$$ through a tin horn.
- They could not stop our run game
This year compared to last for AU
QB: JJ or Sean White are not Nick Marshall as a runner nor as a thrower. They can get that ten yard run but that's it, they won't get that 20+ that Marshall did. Plus they don't have Sammy and Duke, and we are much better on D. Tim Willaims, get in their face every single play. The way we shut down Dak and the read option they had tells me a lot, they are nowhere near Dak.
The Power RB- Peyton Barber and Jovon Robinson are good backs, but we shut down Collins, Chubb, Hurd, and Leonard. So they don't worry me, although the schemes are different they won't run on this defense.
The Scat Back- Auburn always has that little scat back in the Gus Bus offense. From McCalleb to Corey grant. This year they have Kerryon Johnson, and he isn't those two guys just yet. We shut down Michel and Karma after we get use to what they were doing, so this should be the same thing we have seen.
WR- Ricardo Louis, Melvin Ray, and Stevens are not Coates Bray and Willaims. They are thing at WR. We have shutdown Mitchell, Treadwell ( didn't do much if you rewatch it), the guy from UT ( cant remember the name) Dural after we settled down as well as Wilson from MSU. All of these guys are better than these three. Cyrus will get Loius, Marlon on Ray, and Minkah on whoever else.
OL- Coleman, Kozan, Golson, Smith, Yong. They are talented on the OL, but haven't we faced better? Somebody help me on this but is Golson out? We dominate them we dominate the Offense, that's it.
TE- We have shut down Engram, Blazvich, Wolf, Jeter all good TE. Harris is a freshman,no worries here.
We have the advantage every where on this side of the ball
Defense
DL-Lawson, Russel, Adams, Mckenzie.
Lawson is a very good pass rusher, Cam will be tested. Adams and Russell are solid up the middle, and McKenzie is solid on the edge. Run right at them, run right at Lawson with Cam and OJ, and just pound that whole DL. They don't have any depth at all, and as the game does on it will show.
LB- Frost, Garret and Willaims. Frost is a solid player and he will talk a lot of smack. Garret and Willaims are okay? I mean not great but not bad either. This crew isn't what we faced with LSU or UGA. We should be able to block them at the second level, and run through them. Blocking them at the second level is big because that would spring Henry to the endzone.
Secondary- Countess, Ford, Jones, Matthews. They are very thin here as well, Matthews is the best DB they have, Ridley and Stewart have faced better.
Overall.
They are gonna come out all hyped up, and throw the kitchen sink at us during the first 7 minutes of the game. Much like 2009, just weather the storm with the crowd and everything and we should be okay. Expect fake punts, field goals. Reverses, fumble rooskies going for it on 4th down all that good stuff. We will be prepared for that as you will pretty much see punt safe and FG safe a lot, as well as hands team on the front line of kick returns. On offense they will go fast, get them negative yardage and slow that down give JJ 3rd and 12 or 3rd and 7 not 3rd and 1. Take away their bread and butter run game and get in JJ OR Sean whites face the whole game with that front for. Tackle well and don't get burnt and we will be fine on D. On defense they will stack the box like you can't believe, meanin coker is gonna have to get some throws down the field to open it up a little bit, not a huge one but just 10 -20 yards here and there and open that box up. Then pound them into submission with Henry, we ride Henry with 30 carries this game. Do NOT TURN THE BALL OVER. If we are gonna turn it over hell do it on a deep ball where it's like a punt, nothing over the middle. Hold on to the ball on kickoffs and punts, and we will be fine. Also if auburn has a nice drive to open the game, don't freak Gus is on his script.
1st Half Bama 24-10
2nd half 38-10 final.
Henry hits 200 again. RTR
