More thoughts on MSU v Jackston St, and an auburn preview

[AustinDawg]

1) We did exactly what we wanted to do.
2) We took control of the game early, got a lot of players in the game, and began developing depth.
3) We won easily, as expected, while playing almost completely Vanilla. The only non-Vanilla thing I was
was on Defense, where we had a few blitzes -- but even those were little more than an LB switching sides and coming
off the edge.
4) We finished with NO SIGNIFICANT INJURIES.
5) Glad to see a packed stadium!
6) We took the foot off the gas almost immediately. In a game like this there's no reason to run up the score as that's not
going to tell us any more than we already knew.


All that being said, what we did last week really has no bearing on the Auburn game. Aside from the lack of injuries we don't
know enough to evaluate on our side.

Here's what I saw from Auburn:
1) Good speed from the running backs.
2) A speedy receiver (blake)
3) A QB that needs a lot of development in the passing game (accuracy and decision issues)
4) A Defense that is either out of shape, or with no depth.
5) A defensive line and linebackers that get pushed around (that surprised me).
6) A defensive coordinator whose looks are stuck in the 70s.

If we can contain the outside and force them to run up the middle, we will do well. Neither Mason or McCaleb will have much success between the tackles. I think we can continue to pound the running game like we did last year against them. Perkins, Milton and Robinson looked fantastic yesterday.
