Now that was UGLY!

I’ve been watching Auburn football for years and last night’s game against Mississippi State had to be the ugliest game I can remember.  That is if you’re an offensive-minded person.  If you like defense, then there was alot to love about how well Auburn’s defense played.  Folks - it’s for real and will no doubt keep us in a position to compete this year.  But our offense stunk up the joint.  I don’t EVER remember an Auburn offense playing so poorly.  11 offensive penalties w/one of those for MSU’s only 2 points?  Everytime we started moving the ball, we’d implode with a penalty or stupid play call that backed us up.  It’s clear we’ve got the athletes to compete but so far, I’ve not been impressed with the new “spread”.  I’m not ready to put a fork in it by any stretch, but to me, it just doesn’t seem to have that many weapons - at least in our incarnation of it.  We line up w/one back in the backfield and it seems if he’s to the quarterback’s right - the play is going left or vica versa.  And Todd is no running threat whatsoever.

Let’s hope that we figure it out a little bit this week or next week’s game against LSU is going to be ugly.  Again, our defense might manage to keep us in the game, but unless this offense improves and does so quickly, this will be a long, ugly season heading into the meat of the SEC competition.

Come on boys - I believe in you and know you can do it!  War Eagle!
