The Bodda Getta

Heard Charlie this morning. Know him well and he has always been an excellent evaluator of Auburn. He made some good points that made sense to me, but unfortunately they did not make me feel better about the immediate future of Auburn's football team.

First the offense. He said KF's biggest problem is dealing with reads associated with a pro-style offense and the transition from a spread to a pro style. Bottom line with KF is he is not making the easy reads. Specifically the short sit-down routes, slants, outs etc. that PSU gave Auburn all day with the corners laid back 10 yards.

Second and most concerning the defense. The DL lines up in the same spot every time and never tries to confuse the OL. They are making the blocking very easy because every OC and OL knows who to block. The DB plays back and never attacks the receivers or challenge receivers. He said zone coverage is fine, but the DBs need to press and the LOS and drop back into zone to confuse the QB and receivers. CT said QB's lick their chops when they see zone and DBs ten yards deep.

I sum it up this way. Either KF gets comfortable with the offense or we are domed and CGC has no clue how to play winning defense and we are domed anyway. How can defense be some inept?
