+1 nice post!

Well said my friend.....War Eagle!!!!!

Great post GNC . . .

A couple of observations on the offense . . .

We really suffered after Dyer's fumble. We tried to stick with the game plan using Fannin, but it's just not the same. Dyer's north-south mentality adds a KEY component to this offense. 2 things learned here: 1. We're going to have to keep Dyer on the field, fumbles or not, and 2. We need to recruit more RB's like MD.

In my mind, the most important lesson from KY is one that might be missed, i.e. FUMBLES. I think we left the ball on the ground at least 4 times, maybe more. We didn't lose any of them, so it's easy to overlook the issue. I hope and assume that there will be MUCH time spent on ball protection this week.

Finally, I'll say the obvious, Cam Newton is incredible. Everyone who bleeds orange and blue should take the time to comprehend and appreciate what that kid is doing. Against KY, he took the team on his shoulders (vertigo comes to mind) and almost literally carried them to victory. I don't know that I can think of a performance by a single individual in my 40+ years watching AU football that compares. And he's still learning and getting better.

never blame a game or it's outcome on officiating.. that is what Bama fans do... I can't stand that.. if you play as well as you should a blown call here or there will not affect the outcome of the game in 90 percent of games... it was a great win on the road.. good Auburn turnout... yeah the D has problems but they have since last year.. it can only be changed by the HC... WAR EAGLE!!!!

We need to understand that KY and others know our DL is pretty strong against the run so they are all throwing the underneath route to backs or a dragging WR as a modified run...getting the ball to their play makers behind our DL and agianst LB who have dropped in coverage. That is where most of the completions and yardage was gained last night and we can and better make adjustments because we will continue to see it until we stop it defensively.

As for the 3 bad calls (Zac and Fairly), those were terrible judgment calls by 3 inexperienced officials who didnt see the whole play- a must if you are going to call either of them. But, we overcame them and they wont be the last bad calls we have to deal with, not because of any conspiracy, but because they sometimes happen.

Give our guys kudos and credit for playing with great heart and effort and completing a record setting and amazing final drive that totally controlled the end of the game and left KY completely helpless to do anything but watch their slow agonizing defeat play out like a slow bleed-out.

We are 6-0 and play 2 of our 3 toughest remaining games in JH, beginning with this Saturday afternoon on national tv- so lets get that place rockin' and make sure we give the team the strongest home field advantage. WE have to give the hogs a real JH welcome and show the national audience we are a real contender.

WDE!!!
