First game Auburn does

[Dogariffic]

Not score a TD with Gus a head coach or assistant coach. D showed up in the red zone tonight.

Dan preparing Manny for HC job..good he chewed his *** last time but shouldn't have done it in front of team

Noticed him and Mullen breaking down the defense after each punt and FG by AU tonight. Thought that was pretty cool.

D tackled very well tonight save the first drive or two.

D played great. Some angles were not the best, and we didn't set the edge well enough on a few of those drives, but when they got closer than the 30, the d stepped up.

I also liked the various looks we gave them late in the game. Really mixed it up well.

One thing I disliked about the d was the 2 or 3 drives in the 2nd half that looks very pedestrian. Got to disguise some of those looks. No swagger by the dline and lb on large parts od the game.

I want to stand some guys up and have lots of presnap movement. Sure we brought blitzes from random places a few times, but we rarely made them think about things pre snap.

I would like to add that the defense looked really good overall and 9 points is a serious effort.

Late in the game, the first team DL was on the sidelines whenever Auburn had the ball outside of our red zone. Once they got in scoring range the starters came back on and the shutdown commenced.

I saw CJ, AJ, and Adams standing on the sidelines together a lot in the 3Q,

Saw CJ get tired in the 4th Q and he was relieved by Braxton Hoyett.

How did they think that was Auburn ever going to score when they (wait for it)....refused to put their Johnson in.

But seriously, I don't much care for keeping the starting DL on the sidelines all at the same time and going 1B Defense between the 20s. I know the "hey we stopped em in the Redzone" angle but we could have stopped them before that and force a punt and gotten some better field position, it would have led to more points---just 17 points...

I believe the post-game said it happened while Gus was at Arkansas State.
